Pumpkin season is here! In order to indulge this time of year, I have a super easy gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins recipe that is a delicious fall treat. These delicious pumpkin muffins can be made with traditional cake mix or with gluten free cake mix so you have the option of eating gluten free chocolate chip muffins!
You’ve probably seen the super-easy pumpkin muffins/bars you can make using just a spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin.
Because it’s such an easy recipe to make, I wanted to whip up a batch for some friends coming over for dinner that are on a gluten-free diet. But normal cake mix with white flour in it isn’t gluten free. So I quickly needed a substitution for this easy recipe and tried something new. Turns out these gluten-free pumpkin muffins are just as easy and delicious as the originals with
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 (dark chocolate chips also work!)
**Cupcake paper liners for your muffin tin (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 (you will want to be sure you add plenty of pumpkin pie spice because you have to add that flavor to the vanilla cake mix).
After those dry ingredients are 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 recipe is enough to make a dozen delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Be sure to store them in an airtight container or they will quickly dry out.
This recipe makes a moist muffin perfect for the fall season. If you want a gluten-free option for pumpkin treats, you will get great results with these chocolate chip pumpkin muffins!

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
