Easy Pumpkin Spice Muffins
I have had this recipe for so long that I can’t remember who passed it to me. I am so excited to share it with all of you and I’ll give you all our little secrets to go along with it. These easy pumpkin muffins are usually gobbled right up in our home. They are wonderful when you need to make something fast for school, potluck, work, new neighbor, or even a quick snack or you kids/grandkids.

The best part is that it all starts with 2 ingredients!
THESE ARE THE INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
For the base you need a box of cake mix and a can of pumpkin pie filling – that’s it!
(I’m using spice cake mix – but you can use yellow cake mix or any cake mix you want.) I love this recipe because it’s easier than other pumpkin recipes. You don’t need all of the dry ingredients and wet ingredients like butter, flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, you get it the list goes on and on. You could use your own pumpkin puree rather than canned pumpkin.
This recipe could also be turned into pumpkin pancakes, or even a regular cake, and spruce it up with some cream cheese frosting.

Place your muffins in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.
Bake for 25 minutes. (Ovens vary in times, so be cautious the first time you make them.)
Poke a muffin with a toothpick and if it comes out clean – they’re done.

Notes
Just found this recipe. Sounds yummy! Because I have several boxes of Yellow and White cake mixes on hand that I would like to use, do you have any suggestions for how much each of individual spices to use or how much pumpkin pie spice to use in order to achieve a similar taste as if using a spice cake mix. will appreciate your help with this.
I’m not a fan of pumpkin spice, but my husband ADORES it. He rarely buys anything pumpkin spice simply due to the fact he focuses on picking up treats that work for both of us more often than not. That being said, I am going to have to use this recipe to treat him with a little special surprise. I can just imagine his face when he comes home to the smell of freshly baked pumpking spice muffins!
This just made my day Britt! What a sweet thing you are going to do for your husband! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope he likes them as much as we do.
This recipe looks so yummy. Thanks for all instructions?.
Thank you Olivia! It’s so easy, delicious, and they’re gone in 2 days at my house 🙂
I am so ready for fall and have pumpkin spice on the brain! I actually ordered pumpkin purée not too long ago so I am awaiting for its arrival. And once it gets here, I am going to make a batch of these babies! I am getting hungry just thinking about it!
