how to make pumpkin muffins from cake mix

Beat together a box of yellow cake mix, one can of pumpkin, the cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.

Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners (these will not stick to the muffins), and distribute the batter into 12 cups.

Sprinkle tops with brown sugar. This step is optional, but adds a nice touch!

Bake at 350 degrees for 22 – 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

How to customize these muffins

To make gluten free: simply sub a box of your favorite gluten free yellow cake mix.

To make more wholesome: use a box of more natural cake mix and top with coconut sugar. 

Other fun ways to change up these muffins would be to add toppings like mini chocolate chips or pecans in place of the brown sugar.

This recipe is so easy, and so customizable!
