Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a muffin tin with papers.
  • Add the cake mix, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla. Whisk the wet ingredients together in the well until smooth.
  • Gradually stir the wet and dry ingredients together, mixing just until combined, taking care not to over-mix.
  • Spoon batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Stir together the optional sugar and cinnamon topping and sprinkle a little over each muffin.
  • Bake 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the muffins in the tin a few minutes before moving to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Stored cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • If your box of cake mix is 13.25 oz, use just 2 tablespoon of milk in the batter.
