Ingredients
-
2 boxes spice cake mix (15.25 oz each)
-
2 cans pure pumpkin purée (15 oz each)
Optional Add-ins: Chocolate chips, nuts, pepitas, or a dash of cinnamon sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease 2 muffin tins.
-
Mix cake mix + pumpkin in a large bowl. Stir by hand until smooth (batter will be thick!).
-
Fold in any extras (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.) now.
-
Scoop batter into muffin cups—fill about ¾ full.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until tops spring back and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool in pans 5 mins, then transfer to a rack. Let cool another 10–15 mins before devouring.
Notes
• Use pure pumpkin, not pie filling
• Spray muffin liners lightly to avoid sticking
• Freeze extras for quick snacks later—microwave to reheat!
• Want a twist? Try yellow or chocolate cake mix for flavor variety
