These easy pumpkin muffins start with a box of yellow cake mix and canned pumpkin, plus warm spices. Simply mix, fill muffin cups, and bake for a quick fall treat. Optional brown sugar topping adds a sweet crunch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
  2. Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with parchment paper liners (they prevent sticking) or by spraying regular liners with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  4. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the batter with brown sugar.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
