I had a box of chocolate cake mix sitting in the pantry and decided to turn it into something a little different. Instead of making a regular cake, I used it to make muffins with just milk and melted butter.
The batter comes together really quickly, and the muffins bake up soft with a rich chocolate flavor. I like this recipe when I want something homemade without having to measure out a long list of ingredients.
These are great for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or whenever you have a box of cake mix that needs using. If you enjoy easy baking recipes, Choco Chip Muffin and Double Chocolate Muffin are two more recipes to try.
