It was a fun successful experiment. Everything turned out tasty. The muffins and mini muffins were moist and not-too-sweet. I added a few mini chocolate chips to the remaining batter used to make the cookies, giving them a richer flavor. My guys thought they were all good but liked the cookies best Enjoy! 5.0 from 1 reviews

2 Ingredient Skinny Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins and Cookies
Skinny healthy chocolate pumpkin muffins, mini muffins, and cookies made with just 2 ingredients - pumpkin and a chocolate cake mix (or 3 if you decide to add a few mini-chocolate chips – are a light and healthy way to satisfy a sweet tooth.
I owe this post to a Weight Watchers member who recently asked how many PointsPlus values there were in muffins made from cake mix and canned pumpkin. I had no idea and suggested she could use her PointsPlus calculator to figure it out from the nutritional labels on the two ingredients and/or do a Google search.
But the question piqued my curiosity and sent me off on a search of my own. Turns out Hungry Girl calls her 2-ingredient pumpkin chocolate muffins (with a PointsPlus value of 5) Yum Yum Brownie Muffins . I also stumbled upon a recipe for turning the two ingredients into cookies in Camilla Saulsbury’s fun cookbook The Ultimate Cake Mix Cookie Book: More Than 375 Delectable Cookie Recipes That Begin with a Box of Cake Mix .
So I decided to stir the two ingredients together and make a few muffins, mini muffins and cookies from it…
