the Cupcake Doctor says...

For a dressy appearance, add a sprinkling of powdered sugar mixed with
cocoa powder after the muffins have cooled.
I used a Duncan Hines muffin mix in this recipe and a can of pure
pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

Vegetable oil spray for misting the pan
1 package (17.8 ounces) chocolate chip muffin mix (see “the Cupcake Doctor

says”)
1 cup canned pumpkin

½ cup milk
1 large egg
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Mist the
bottom of 12 muffin cups with the vegetable oil spray. Set the pan aside.
