Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins start with a 2 ingredient pumpkin cake mix recipe that’s super moist and delicious. The addition of a simple crumb topping and cinnamon chips takes these pumpkin spice muffins to the next level!

Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins

 

It’s Confession Time, my friends! The time has come for me to share with you a little guilty pleasure I have every time the fall season starts to set in.

Are you ready for it?! Okay, here we go.

Don’t laugh when I tell you this but for some odd reason, I’ve discovered this deep fondness for Hershey’s cinnamon chips.

Please, please tell me you’ve tried them before! They’re little morsels, just like the chocolate kind, but they are cinnamon flavored!

Hershey's Cinnamon Chips

I was introduced to these little morsels of heaven two years ago when eating breakfast at a place I love to frequent called, First Watch. One of the seasonal specialties on their autumn menu happened to be cinnamon swirl pancakes with cinnamon chips.

Oh my word, those cinnamon swirl pancakes are incredible! Like, make your brains fall out delicious. 

I instantly became obsessed with them and found myself at First Watch way more often than I’d like to admit. It was becoming so embarrassing that I ended up making a copycat recipe of the First Watch pancakes so I could eat them at home any time my little heart desired.

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes with Cinnamon Chips

You must try the recipe. You can find the recipe, here. 

Lucky for me, I had to buy cinnamon chips in order to make those cinnamon swirl pancakes at home. I’d have to say that’s where the obsession began for me.

From that point forward I began actively looking for ways to incorporate cinnamon chips into my cooking and baking. 

I noticed that 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins were becoming pretty popular amongst the Internet these days and wanted to make a batch for “The Boys”. The muffins are super yummy on their own but I wanted to take them a step further with the addition of, you guessed it, cinnamon chips.

The addition of the cinnamon chips took a simple recipe and elevated it to the next level. That was precisely the result I was hoping to achieve. Nailed it!

And because I couldn’t help myself, I decided to take it a step further and added a crumb topping to really blow these pumpkin cinnamon chip muffins out of the water!

Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins

In just 30 minutes, you too can have before you a dozen scrumptious muffins ready to be inhaled by anyone or anything that comes within 30 feet of them. I promise these pumpkin cinnamon chip muffins are that spectacular, my friend. 

So are you ready to give them a try and see why I heart cinnamon chips so much?! Let’s get started on making this easy fall treat!

Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins

Here’s what you need:

For the muffins
15 oz. can pumpkin puree, 15.25 box spice cake mix, 1 cup cinnamon chips

Pumpkin muffin ingredients

For the crumb topping
1 tablespoon butter (softened), 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, ¼ pumpkin spice

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

Mix together the can of pumpkin puree with your spice cake mix.

Spice cake mix and pumpkin puree

Gently fold in one cup of cinnamon chips.

Fold in cinnamon chips

Either grease a cupcake tin or use cupcake liners.

Add cupcake liners to muffin tin

Add pumpkin batter to your muffin tin. I like to use an ice cream scooper to insure I get the same amount of batter in each of the cupcake liners.

Add pumpkin muffin batter

Next, place all the ingredients for the crumb topping in a bowl and use a fork to combine all the ingredients.

Add ingredients for crumb topping

Sprinkle the crumb topping all over the tops of your pumpkin cinnamon chip muffins and place them in the oven.

Add crumb topping to pumpkin muffins

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins

I personally suggest eating these muffins as soon as they’re cool enough to touch. And if you really want to be frisky, break open the muffin and add a smudge of butter inside because why not!

Easy pumpkin cinnamon chip muffins make for the perfect fall breakfast, an after school snack or even a comforting fall dessert with a cup of warm apple cider. I guarantee that once you see how simple and delicious these muffins are you’ll be making them over and over again.

    These look amazing and I can only imagine they taste divine! You like anything cinnamon–and I like anything pumpkin–so these muffins are a winning combination! Plus, they’re perfect for Fall–and for all the upcoming holidays. I’ve never tried cinnamon chips–but they’re on my list to purchase. Yours look “store-bought”–they look that perfect. Hopefully, mine will come out looking as good. Can’t wait to try these–another great recipe, Tiffany! Thank you!

    I will be adding cinnamon chips to my grocery list! Love this twist on pumpkin muffins and a good change from chocolate chips.

Happy National Wine Day!! Pick your poison...red or white or pink? My answer: It depends on the food I’m eating. A nice steak calls for a red. Tonight’s dinner, sea scallops, called for white. But if I’m just having a glass without a meal, Rosè is my favorite. I like wine, if you can t tell! How about you?🍷
