Ingredients
-
1 box spice cake mix
-
1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
-
2 large eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
-
Place the spice cake mix in a large mixing bowl. Then open the can of pumpkin puree and add it to the bowl.
-
Crack in two large eggs. After adding the eggs, begin mixing gently using a spatula or whisk. Stir until the batter is combined. Although some small lumps are fine, avoid over-mixing so the muffins stay soft and fluffy.
-
Once the batter is ready, divide it evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Fill each one about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
-
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check at the 20-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they are done.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, enjoy with butter or a light spread of cream cheese frosting.
Notes
-
For best results, do not over-mix the batter. Because pumpkin adds plenty of moisture, no extra oil or water is required. You may add nuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon sugar topping, or raisins if desired. These muffins freeze well and stay soft for days, making them great for meal prep.
