Substitutions
You can use a different cake mix such as yellow cake mix, white cake mix, or chocolate cake mix. Because those cake mixes do not have spices, add a teaspoon or 2 of pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
How to make Three Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 – Line a regular-sized muffin tin with 12 paper muffin liners or spray the tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3 – In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the spice cake mix with the pumpkin puree and mix on low speed until combined. You can use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon but it may take longer to get it well combined.
Step 4 – Portion the batter into the muffin tins just over ¾ full each.
Step 5 – Sprinkle the turbinado sugar generously over the tops of the muffins.
Step 6 – Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 7 – Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips
Mix in some fun – add 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts to the batter.
