These pumpkin muffins start with a box of spice cake mix and canned pumpkin for a super simple treat. A sprinkle of brown sugar adds a sweet crunch, and they bake in just 20–25 minutes. Perfect for a quick fall breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spice cake mix and pumpkin pie spice. Then stir in the pumpkin puree until the batter is well combined.
  3. Fill each liner about three-quarters full with the thick batter—an ice cream or large cookie scoop works well. Sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of brown sugar on top of each muffin, then gently press it into the batter with the back of a spoon.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Avoid overbaking.
  5. Take the pan out of the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
