Why You Will Like This Recipe
If you aren’t familiar with this recipe using cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree then you probably don’t get around much I’m guessing. j/k 🙂
It’s kind of crazy how many different ways you change up the ingredients on the back of a box of cake mix to make it a bit healthier and with fewer calories.
I’ve seen people use Greek yogurt, cans of diet soda, and pumpkin puree. Pumpkin puree is my favorite healthy ingredient swap to make donuts, muffins, cake, bars, etc.
It’s simple and only requires 3 ingredients.
What Ingredients do I need?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.
- Pumpkin Puree - Use organic if you can! The main ingredient is and always will be pumpkin. Some brands are different and use different types of squash that have been pureed.
- Cake Mix - Spiced cake mix works best. I haven’t tried this with other cake mix flavors. Use 15 ounces
- Mini Chocolate Chips - can sub sugar-free chocolate chips
