ingredients
- 18 ounces spice cake mix

directions
- Simply mix the pumpkin and the spice cake mix together with electric mixer until well combined. (At this point you may also want to throw in some nuts or raisins, if you like.).
- Spoon into paper lined small muffin/cupcake tins, 2/3 full. (The batter is very thick and doesn't "settle", so you may wish to smooth the tops if you care what the finished product looks like!).

I have made this for years.. I do many different variations... adding raisens, craisens, coconut, nuts and glaze. They are always moist and delicious. The only thing I have never done is put them in muffin form. I usually use a small ice cream scoop and put on a pan so they make little cake like cookies. -
WOW...soooooooooo moist. Added cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 cup water like another reviewer stated. Added walnuts and M&M's too. EXCELLENT! Thank you Karen ! Will definitely make this again and will share this recipe with my friends. Baked mine 18 minutes exactly in my electric oven at 350 degrees. -
Wonderful! Just tried this recipe after seeing it posted on Facebook. I used the spice cake mix and after reading all the reviews, I also made some adjustments. I used 2 Tbl of milk, 1 egg and since I didn't have applesauce, I peeled and minced an apple. I amped up the spices, because I love "fall" spices. Used another tsp of cinnamon and a 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice. Threw in a handful of raisins, too! I also used my electric beater and an ice cream scoop, as it is a very thick and stiff batter. I cooked them at 325 for 25 minutes. They turned out perfectly. Very moist and held together completely. My husband is not a pumpkin fan, but he inhaled one as soon as they cooled! Happy eating!

These are soooo easy.I had a spice cake mix..aded 1 tsp Pumpkin pie mix and the can of pumpkin..it was so stiff I could barely mix it so I added 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water and they were perfect..next time I will add cranberries and maybe some chopped walnuts..if I can keep my husband out of them long enough I think cream chees glaze will be the finishing touch. My husband just said they are better than the ones I pay 4$ a dozen for and probably healthier! -
Made these tonight with a yellow cake mix and added 2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice. Batter is dry but keep mixing to get the most lumps of mix out. They don't absorb like regular muffins do because they don't have a lot of liquid in the mix. They are really good. Will try with raisins next time. A light glaze drizzled on top would be good too. Was crazy about texture but tasted good. Husband loved them.

I added 2 tbsp of melted coconut oil and 2 tbsp of water -
Added an egg, some apple sauce, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. -
I'm no cook but I do very occasionally bake so I thought I'd give these a try and they came out just fine. Another review said it was too hard to mix but using a hand blender worked just fine. Next time I would use a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake and add pumpkin pie spice. They're not super sweet so I think a vanilla glaze would be good too. Otherwise they're pretty tasty and, of course, super easy.

I used carrot cake mix instead of spice and added raisins, yummy! -
Wow! These are so moist and delicious that it's hard to believe there's nothing more than cake mix and pumpkin. I used devils food cake mix instead of the spice cake and they turned out very fudgy and yummy without being overly sweet. They have a great texture too. This made 24 mini muffins and 5 regular sized muffins. Thanks for posting!

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
