2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins

That’s right, two ingredients, and so easy to make that you can whip some up every time the pumpkin craving strikes. Each pumpkin spice muffin is like having your own mini loaf of pumpkin bread that you don’t have to share. 

Not only is this recipe light on ingredients with no eggs, no oil, and no butter, but it doesn’t need a lot of kitchen equipment either. You can easily mix these muffins together using a large bowl and a wooden spoon, no mixer required. 

Perfect for a warm fall breakfast or brunch, you can also serve your pumpkin spice muffins slathered with cream cheese frosting for dessert after dinner. Your pumpkin muffins pair perfectly with a mug of homemade pumpkin spice latte. 

2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins Ingredients

• Pumpkin puree
  
• Cake Mix - boxed Spice Cake Mix

The batter for these pumpkin muffins is incredibly thick, but don’t worry, they bake up deliciously. When you combine the dry cake mix with the pumpkin puree, you won’t add any other ingredients called for on the cake mix box. Be sure to spray your muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper cups to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan. 

While the spice cake mix gives these muffins warm, fall flavors, you could also make these muffins with a box of gingerbread cake mix or carrot cake mix. If you use one of these other boxed cake mixes adding a dash of pumpkin pie spice will help increase the pumpkin flavor. 

It’s easy to add in chocolate chips, raisins, walnuts, or pecans to your muffins. You could also top your muffins with cream cheese or maple frosting.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins

FIRST STEP: Preheat your oven to 350F.  

SECOND STEP: Have your helpers dump the cake mix and pumpkin puree into a BIG bowl. (The bigger the bowl, the fewer spills will come over the sides!)

THIRD STEP: Have them stir the muffin batter to their hearts content! A few dry spots or lumps are not a big deal, but still try to get the batter as even-looking as possible. (Another thing to love about this recipe – no need for a mixer!)

FOURTH STEP: Using a ½ cup measuring cup, portion the pumpkin spice muffin batter into a pre-lined jumbo muffin pan.

FIFTH STEP: Bake for 18 to 25 minutes (depending on how big your muffins are) until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 

SIXTH STEP: Cool on a cooling rack, and then enjoy!

Can I freeze pumpkin spice muffins? 

These simple pumpkin muffins freeze really well. Make a batch and freeze the extras for an easy weekday breakfast or afternoon snack. You can let the muffins sit on the counter for an hour or so to thaw or thaw them quickly in the microwave.

Can I make these into mini pumpkin muffins? 

You can make this recipe in either a standard-sized muffin tin or in a mini muffin tin. If you make these as mini muffins you will need to reduce the baking time. 

Can I use a different boxed cake mix? 

Spiced cake mix results in muffins that taste most like pumpkin bread. If you want to use a different cake mix try to pick one that has similar spiced flavors, such as gingerbread or carrot cake, or add a dash of pumpkin spice to the recipe. 

How to Store 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffins 

IN THE FRIDGE:  Store leftover pumpkin muffins in an airtight container on the counter for up the 3 days. You can also keep muffins in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

IN THE FREEZER:  Pumpkin muffins can be stored in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to three months.
