2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Cake Mix
Description
Using only canned pumpkin puree and spice cake mix, this recipe yields moist muffins with warm spices inherent to the cake mix. The pumpkin adds moisture and texture, while the mix provides sweetness and spice flavor without added ingredients. The batter is dense and fluffy after mixing, ensuring even baking. Baking time varies based on muffin size, with smaller mini muffins requiring less time and standard muffins baked until a toothpick comes out clean.
The muffins freeze well, making them convenient for advance preparation and storage. Spraying muffin tins and the paper liners lightly with cooking spray helps prevent sticking. These muffins serve as a quick snack, breakfast option, or simple dessert suitable for seasonal enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) pumpkin puree just plain pumpkin -- NOT the canned pumpkin pie filling, canned
- 1 (15.25 ounce) spice cake mix I like Duncan Hines brand, boxed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with baking cups. If using paper liners, I suggest that you give the paper liners a little spritz of nonstick spray as well, just to prevent any sticking. In a large bowl, use a spatula to fold together pumpkin and dry cake mix.
- Then I like to use an electric mixer to make sure that the batter is fluffy and completely combined. It will be thick! You can do this all by hand, but it will just take longer.
- Use a scoop to fill prepared muffin pan with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for about 5 minutes and then remove muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- These freeze really well, so store in an airtight container or a zip-top bag in the freezer and just thaw as necessary.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 12 standard muffins or 30 mini muffins; adjust baking time accordingly for mini muffins (8-10 minutes).
- Spray muffin tins and liners lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container or zip-top bag and thaw before serving.
