2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins Ingredients

You will need:

• 15 ounces pumpkin puree
• 1 box Spice Cake Mix

PRO TIP: Watch out when you are at the grocery store that you buy pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling.

Substitutions and Additions

CAKE MIX: While it would not taste quite the same as the spice cake mix, if you prefer to use a carrot cake mix or gingerbread box of cake mix, it would give you similar spiced flavors. 

PUMPKIN PIE SPICE: If you are using a boxed cake mix that is different from the spiced cake mix the recipe calls for, you could add a dash of your own pumpkin pie spice. 

FROSTING: If you want to add a little something extra to these muffins. You could top them with a little cream cheese frosting, either store-bought or homemade.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins

STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 350F.

STEP TWO: Have your helpers dump the cake mix and pumpkin puree into a BIG bowl. (The bigger bowl, the fewer spills will come over the sides!)

STEP THREE: Have them stir the muffin batter to their heart’s content! A few dry spots or lumps are not a big deal, but still try to get the batter as even-looking as possible. (Another thing to love about this recipe – no need for a mixer!)

STEP FOUR: Using a ½ cup measuring cup, portion the pumpkin spice muffin batter into a pre-lined jumbo muffin pan.

PRO TIP: A measuring cup, cookie scoop, or ice cream scoop makes portioning muffins into muffin cups an easy task.

STEP FIVE: Bake for 18 to 25 minutes (depending on how big your muffins are) until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

STEP SIX: Cool on a cooling rack, and then enjoy!
