Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1 box spice cake mix {15.25 ounces}
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk

Optional Topping or Add-In Ideas

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree and milk in a large bowl and mix using an electric mixer {or by hand} until all of the ingredients are combined. 
  • Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.  Use a large cookie scoop {or about 3 tablespoons} to scoop batter into the muffin cups {or about 3/4 full}.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425° and then reduce the oven temperature to 350°. Continue to bake for 10-13 minutes. The muffins should spring back to the touch and the tops will not be glossy.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Place on a wire rack to cool at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Don't skip lining the pan with muffin liners. This helps with clean up and also makes it super easy to remove the muffins from the muffin tin.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to measure the batter. Doing so will keep all of the muffins the same size which allows them to bake evenly.
  • If you do not have a spice mix or can't find one, no worries.  Substitute the spice mix with a box of yellow cake mix, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice or cloves.
  • To make mini muffins, line the mini muffin pan with paper liners and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
