How to make pumpkin muffins from cake mix

Step 1: Beat together a box of yellow cake mix, one can of pumpkin, the cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.

Step 2: Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners (these will not stick to the muffins), and distribute the batter into 12 cups.

Tip: If you use regular liners, just spray them with cooking spray so that they do not stick.

Step 3: Sprinkle the tops of the muffin batter with brown sugar. This step is optional, but adds a nice touch!

Step 4: Bake the pumpkin muffins at 350 degrees for 22 – 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

How to customize these pumpkin muffins

• Make gluten free pumpkin muffins: simply substitute a box of your favorite gluten free yellow cake mix.
• Make it more wholesome: use a box of more natural cake mix and top with coconut sugar. 
• Add toppings: Substitute the brown sugar topping for mini chocolate chips, or chopped up pecans or walnuts.

What does pumpkin replace in baking?

Pumpkin replaces oil or butter in baking, which is why we don’t need any in this recipe!

How do I store pumpkin muffins?

For best results, store muffins in an airtight container and eat within 2-4 days. Line the airtight container with paper towels for best results.
