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!

Pumpkin muffin split in half

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.

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

You know how much I love you all, right?! Enough to embarrass the heck out of myself in a SPORTS BRA in my stories for you. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Many of you wanted a review and try-on of my recent Amazon workout purchase so that’s what I did for ya...very awkwardly.🤣
.
Head to my stories for my honest opinions along with all the details for the items I purchased. I also linked everything in @liketoknow.it so you can easily shop if you see something you fancy. The link is in my bio.🙌🏼

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰

How often do you organize your purse? Better yet, how often do you switch your purse out?👛👛
.
⭐️Tip Tuesday: From someone who has way too many purses (that’s me 🙋🏽‍♀️), the best way I’ve found to easily switch out bags and stay organized throughout the process is to use “The Pouch Method”. 
.
I organize like items together that I keep in my purse and place them in a small pouch that fits back inside my purse. I have one for all my gift cards/coupons and then one for all my personal hygiene type items. Swipe to see.➡️
.
Not only does this method keep your purse organized, but it allows you to just take out the organized pouches and easily place them in your purse choice of the day! For more tips on organizing your purse, check out the link in my bio.👛
