Make these pumpkin brownie muffins when you crave a fall treat that's both easy and delicious. With just three ingredients, these simple pumpkin brownie muffins help you whip up a batch of moist and flavorful muffins in no time. These muffins are perfect for busy weeknights or satisfying sudden cravings.
These are a healthier twist on brownies. They taste great but you should know the texture is a little different from 'normal' brownies. Other similar type of recipes include this 2 ingredient pumpkin muffin and these chocolate banana muffins. All are heavy on the fruit and light on the oil!
Why I love these
- There are just three ingredients and I always have these at home! They are a brownie mix, egg and canned pumpkin.
- Quick to mix and quick to bake.
- These satisfy that craving for something sweet and chocolaty without all the additional fat that you would normally add to a boxed cookie mix.
- Controlled portion sizes when you need that chocolate fix!
Ingredients
1 Box of Brownie mix. Your favorite brand will work
1 15 oz can of Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!)
1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 Fahrenheit. Spray muffin wells with nonstick baking spray.
Step 1
In a medium sized bowl, add brownie mix, pumping puree and egg. Stir until well combined.
Step 2
Fill each muffin tin ⅔ full. This is enough for 12 regular-sized muffins. I like using a muffin scoop to make the portioning easier and to keep the process less messy.
Step 3
Bake for approx. 22 minutes. Check with toothpick to see if they are done. Careful, they go from being raw to being overbooked and dry quick!
These are worth trying! I feel they are nice and satisfying chocolate treat. As mentioned above, the texture is a little different. My kids don't think they are "real" brownies. They are a nice sweet chocolate morsal when you are craving that.
Storage
These can be stored in a sealed container for up to 4 days. They may be frozen if well wrapped for up to 3 months.
FAQs
Yes, however you will need to watch the baking time. It will be a few minutes less than what the brownie mix states for a pan the size you are planning to use.
Pumpkin pie filling has additional ingredients including sugar. It is not the same as the canned pure pumpkin.
No, I can't even taste the pumpkin flavor. It tastes like chocolate!
