Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 box spice cake mix (approximately 15.25 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dry spice cake mix and the pumpkin puree. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture just until well combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a tender muffin texture.
  3. Portion Batter: Using a cookie scooper or spoon, divide the thick batter evenly among the muffin liners. Smooth the tops gently with the back of a spoon for even baking.
  4. Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures they are fully cooked but moist inside.
  5. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to get the right texture and flavor.
  • For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon or two of oil or applesauce, although it’s not necessary.
  • These muffins freeze well—store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Check the cake mix ingredients to ensure it fits your dietary requirements (some may contain gluten or dairy).
