Sneaky Mommy Cupcakes

[aydee]

Okay I stole this from "Parents" magazine but I gave them their title because it's a sneaky way to get some veggies/vitamins into your kids' dessert. There are only two ingredients:

a box of chocolate cake mix
a 15 oz. can of pumpkin

That's it! Mix them together and bake into a mini or regular cupcake tin. The batter will seem much thicker than you're expecting (more like dough) but that's okay, they'll turn out just fine.

Tried this today. My 2 yr old loved them and so did his little playmate. I'm going to make these for our playgroup on Monday. Thanks AD!!

okay, this recipe intrigued me so I HAD to try it. This is my new favorite thing EVER! Amelia LOVES them so much...more than regular cupcakes! They're so moist! I noticed that they tasted a little like chocolate muffins, so the second time I made them I added chocolate chips.

A friend of mine told me that they suggested this at her Weight Watchers meeting because they have so much less fat and so much more fiber. She suggested that I try it with spice cake next.

Thank you so much for posting this!
