Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Pillsbury No Sugar Added Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, pumpkin puree, water, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg until fully combined.
  3. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  4. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a sugar-free spice cake mix and skip the added spices for an even quicker version.
  • Add 1/2 cup grated carrots with carrot cake mix for texture and fiber.
  • Mix in 1 egg or 1/2 cup egg substitute for fluffier muffins.
  • Stir in 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Add 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips for a treat.
