Well, hello again! I can't even pretend to be surprised anymore that it's been so long.
This really is a two ingredient pumpkin muffin. Kind of. So I guess not really, but really. Are you confused yet?
2 Ingredient (Incredibly Easy and not confusing) Pumpkin Muffins:
1 box Spice Cake Mix – regular size (525gr or so)*
1 can (400ml or 15oz or somewhere close to either of those numbers) can of Pumpkin Puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling, just plain pumpkin)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Makes 12 muffins.
Mix these two ingredients together until well blended. Scoop into prepared muffin tins, either greased or lined with papers. The batter is VERY thick, and this will make 12 really full muffins, but don't worry – they won't spill over. If you want prettier muffins than mine, wet the back of a spoon and smooth the tops. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
That's it! See – it is easy. And it's kind of two ingredients, if you discount the fact that boxed cake mix is a zillion ingredients.
* this little asterisk is there so I can tell you that Betty Crocker has made it's boxed cake mixes smaller. Yes, smaller. It still makes the same amount of cupcakes or cakes, but the volume of mix is less than last year. I know this because I bought some Betty Crocker cake mixes on sale and then found one box buried in the back of my cupboard. The instructions are similar, but the new, smaller boxes call for a little less water, and they suggest filling the muffin tins less. Subtle.
I was all gung-ho about making these, but at the last minute had to doctor them some more. I used the spice cake recipe and can of pumpkin, then added 2 eggs and a 1/4c of apple sauce. I then added 1 c of cold strong chai tea (what was left in the pot.) Baked according the the box directions.
No longer 2 ingredient muffins, but Still Delish!
Hi Crumbboss! I just finished miakng pumpkin muffins with your recipe and I can’t wait to try them tomorrow morning.
