Servings: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) of spice cake mix
- 1 can (15 oz) of pumpkin puree --not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and place the oven rack in the middle position.
- Line a 12 cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and give the liners a quick mist of cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the box of spice cake mix, the can of pumpkin puree, and the pumpkin pie spice.
- Using a rubber spatula or a hand mixer, mix all the ingredients together until the cake mix is evenly moistened and well combined with the pumpkin puree. The batter will be thick.
- Divide the muffin batter between the 12 muffin cups. These muffins don't rise super high, so be sure to fill the muffin cups pretty full.
- Bake in a 350° oven for 23 minutes until the muffins have risen slightly and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to sit 5-10 minutes before drizzling with a glaze or icing. *See notes for icing recipe.
Notes
* For a pumpkin spice glaze: In a bowl combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/8 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir until smooth and drizzle over the top of the muffins, 5-10 minutes after they've come out of the oven.
**You can also top your muffins with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, coarse turbinado sugar, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips before baking.
