Greetings from "The Middle of Nowhere" Arizona! Monica here! This is a picture outside my parents RV..don't ask and don't judge. We are knitting, reading and having a lovely time. ha!So I wanted to share a delightful recipe with all of you! The holidays can bring about sweets of all shapes and sizes and boy are they hard to resist. This recipe will give you a chocolate fix without feeling guilty. (Great for PMS cravings as well!)
You will need:
1 box of Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 small can of Pumpkin
Cupcake pan
Walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the cake mix with the can of pumpkin. DON'T ADD WATER OR ANYTHING ELSE! It will be hard to resist adding something because it is hard to stir and you keep saying to yourself "maybe just a little water or oil will help?" Don't do it! Just keep stirring...it's a great arm workout! Place batter into non-stick sprayed muffin pan. It makes 12 regular size muffins. Add a little bit of chopped walnuts to the top if you want a little extra crunch. Bake for 20 minutes. Watch carefully. It might actually need less time. Don't be scared of the strange shape..they won't look like regular muffins.
1 muffin: 181 calories. 3.5g fat. 37g carbs. 2g fiber. 2g protein.
Some may think these muffins aren't "Healthy" enough, but coming from a girl who loves her chocolate and sweets...I'm not going to eat cardboard. These muffins are delicious and a better alternative then other pastries! Hope you enjoy!
Happy Holidays from our homes (and RV's) to yours!
