2 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

If you're looking for a quick and easy pumpkin recipe, look no further than these 2 ingredient cake mix pumpkin muffins! They're a perfect breakfast on the go or a quick afternoon snack. Plus, they're so delicious that no one will ever guess how easy they are to make. So give them a try today and see for yourself how simple they are! These may be the easiest muffins you will ever bake.

Pumpkin season is here and that means all things pumpkin and the delicious fall flavors we all crave. If you're looking for a lighter way to make pumpkin spice muffins this recipe is a real game changer.

It all starts with a box of spice cake mix. I recommend spice cake mix since it's made with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice so there's no need to add any additional pumpkin pie spice but you can also use other cake mix flavors and I've included a list in the 'substitutions' section of this post.

The only other ingredient you'll be using is canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling but regular good ole pumpkin puree.

This was inspired by my 2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cake Recipe and my pumpkin biscotti recipe (made with a muffin mix). You can find all of my pumpkin recipes here.

I've seen other recipes that mention adding a frosting, like this cream cheese frosting, but to keep it on the healthier side I opted to keep the muffin tops bare!

🍴Substitutions

• Easy Pumpkin Cake - instead of making muffins you can easily make this a cake instead following the simple directions that can be found in this post.
• This can easily be made into a mini muffins recipe - using a mini muffin tin, once again divide batter equally between each muffin cup and bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Other flavor cake mixes such as carrot cake mix, a box of yellow cake mix, or chocolate cake mix can be used for simple cake mix muffins. Chocolate pumpkin muffins are my second favorite option.

📖 Variations

• Chocolate Chip- gently stir in ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking. I sprinkled a few semi-sweet chocolate chips on several of the muffins because my sons asked me, too.
• Craisins, raisins, nuts - add ½ cup to batter and give it a little stir before baking.

🍽 Equipment

A good quality muffin tin that will evenly bake your batter. I recommend the Great Jones Stud Muffin - not only does it have a cute name but it baked everything perfectly and cleanup is a breeze/
