Instructions

1

Mix the Batter

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray generously with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of spice cake mix, the canned pumpkin puree, and the two eggs. Stir together with a spatula or whisk until a smooth, thick batter forms with no dry cake mix streaks.

2

Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the thick pumpkin batter evenly among all 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. The batter will be thicker than traditional muffin batter, which is completely normal and results in a dense, moist texture. Smooth the tops lightly with the back of a spoon if desired.

3

Bake and Cool

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling, which prevents them from becoming soggy on the bottom.

Substitutions

spice cake mixyellow cake mix plus 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for a milder spice flavor
eggs2 flax eggs made with 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 6 tablespoons water for a vegan version

Common mistakes

Adding water or oil from the cake mix box instructions, which makes the batter too thin and the muffins flat and dense
Overbaking past 22 minutes which dries out the muffins and removes the moist pumpkin texture they are known for
