[Haskell-beginners] Using StateT with List monad

Hey,

I have an example function in the list monad.

twoSucc :: Int -> [Int]
twoSucc i = [i+1, i+2]

Now I want write something similar with the StateT monad transformer.

twoSucc :: StateT Int [] ()
twoSucc = do
  i <- get
  put (i+1) -- how do I put [i+1,i+2] here?

As mentioned in the comment, when doing

runStateT twoSucc n

it outputs [((),n+1)] (which makes sense). How do I write it that it
behaves similar to the original twoSucc and outputs [((),n+1),((),n+2)]?

Thanks!
Nathan
