You’ve probably seen the super easy pumpkin muffins/bars you can make using just a spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin.
I wanted to whip these up for some friends coming over for dinner that are on a gluten free diet, but realized they were not gluten free. I quickly needed a substitution for this easy recipe. Turns out it’s just as easy and delicious – even if it is gluten free!!!
Ingredients:
**Gluten Free White Cake Mix (I used Wegmans store brand)
**15 oz can of pumpkin
**2 1/2 tsp. of Pumpkin Pie Spice
**1 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
**Cupcake liners (you can get the reusable silicone ones like I used over on Amazon!)
Baking Instructions:
Mix the gluten free white cake mix with 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
After that is fully mixed, add the 1 can of pumpkin. Stir it well (it will be thick) and fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop evenly into un-greased silicone baking cups. If you use paper cupcake liners, you should give each a quick spray of cooking oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

This is awesome! I always wondered how well GF cake mixes might work with these shortcut-type recipes, and I never really wanted to spend the money or time to try. So good to know this one works. Jacob will love it (and if he’s having a crazy moment and doesn’t, I know I will!)!

I used to do this with regular cake mix and now that my daughter (and avid baker) has to be gluten-free we need to try with this cake mix! Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
