Place the foil cupcake liners into the cupcake tins and set aside.
Empty the cake mix into a large mixing bowl.
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to the cake mix. Use a fork or wooden spoon and stir the spices into the cake mix until it is even distributed.
Add the pumpkin and egg whites to the bowl and roughly a third of the cup of water. Use a hand mixer and slowly start to mix the ingredients. As you continue to mix keep slowly adding the water until it is all added and incorporated.
Add the chocolate chips to the batter and gently fold them in.
Using a scooper, fill the cupcake liners about ⅔ full. I was able to fill 22 cupcake liners.
Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake at 350℉ for 20 - 22 min. I check at 20 min. You are looking for a toothpick inserted in the center to come out clean or the top to spring back. If you are not quite there, bake an additional 2 min.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let then sit for 10 min and then transfer then to a cooling rack and let them sit until they are entirely cooled about 1 - 1½ hr.
Serve and enjoy.
These cupcakes freeze well. Place them on a baking tray that will fit in your freezer. If they do not all fit on the tray, place a piece of wax paper on top of the first layer of cupcakes and make a second layer. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and return to the freezer.
