2-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins: The Ultimate Easy Treat




Prepare Time

  • Preparation Time: 5 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix and pumpkin puree. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in your choice of raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
  3. Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  5. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook Notes

The batter will be thick, but resist the urge to add liquid; the moisture from the pumpkin puree will be enough to create soft, moist muffins.

Variations

  • Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins: Use a chocolate cake mix instead of spice cake mix for a chocolatey twist.
  • Pumpkin Pie Muffins: Add a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the batter for an extra boost of fall flavor.

Keto Version

For a keto-friendly version, use a low-carb cake mix or make your own almond flour-based cake mix. Substitute the pumpkin puree with a keto-approved pumpkin alternative if necessary.

Low-Carb Version

Similar to the keto version, opt for a low-carb cake mix substitute and ensure the added ingredients (like nuts or chocolate chips) are also low in carbohydrates.
