Ingredients
  

  • 1 box spice cake mix (or yellow cake mix with 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice whisked in) 15-18 oz / 425-510 g
  • 1 can pumpkin puree 15 oz / 425 g
  • mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped raisins or dried cranberries, cinnamon chips, icing, etc. optional

Instructions
 

  • Set Oven Rack:

    Set an oven rack to the center position.

  • Preheat and Prep Pans:

    For mini muffins, heat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and either line 24 mini muffin cups with paper liners or spray with non-stick coating. (Regular muffin tins work for smaller standard muffins.)

  • Mix Cake and Pumpkin:

    In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pumpkin puree, stirring until uniform. The mixture will be extremely thick. Disregard the directions on the cake mix box.

  • Fill Muffin Cups:

    Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups.

  • Bake Muffins:

    Bake at 400°F (205°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10-12 minutes for mini muffins.

  • Cool on Rack:

    Take the muffins out of the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool fully.
