Easy 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

"I got this recipe from a Weight Watcher's meeting, and found these very tasty. This recipe is low in fat and calories. I also tried 1 box of cake mix with a cherry lite pie topping - very tasty. My kids loved both muffins. (for Weight Watchers: each muffin is only 2 points.)"

  1. I thought they were very good. I just added 2 tsps. of pumpkin pie spice to pick it up a little.
     
  2. These are so good and easy. I tried with a spice cake mix and added some pumpkin pie spice (trying to use up the dozen or so containers I've accumulated over the years) and they were awesome. Then I tried it with a yellow cake mix and pumpkin pie spice....they were good. Then this morning I used carrot cake mix and they were really good. My family likes them and I like the fact that they are super easy!!!!! I used a 29oz can of pumpkin and 2 cake mixes and the results were the same. These muffins also freeze well!
     
  3. I am going through a cooking frenzy.....must be the approaching Fall. Anyway, had a can of pumpkin in the pantry and a yellow cake mix and I thought that there wouldn't be a thing that I could make. But, lo and behold, here was your recipe. I read all of the reviews and added the following to the recipe (according to other reviewers).....2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. cloves, raisins, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar and about 1/3 - 2/3 cups of water. I know that's a lot of additions, but the muffins came out WONDERFULLY. I used mini muffin pans and got 38 mini muffins, BUT I put way too much batter in each cup, so I could have gotten a LOT more minis. Thanks for such an easy recipe. I think next time I'll try a spice cake recipe.... This is a MUST try! The only problem with the mini muffins is that I keep popping them in my mouth and all of a sudden seven are gone....gulp...better stop!
     
  4. So good and simple to make! I used carrot cake mix, added in 2 shredded carrots (because who wants carrot flavored pieces when you can have real carrot!) and a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice.
     
  5. This recipe is easy and good. I do recommend that you add one egg and 1/4 cup water to a yellow cake mix. I also added 1/4 cup coconut oil; that really made it good. The next time I try it I will include a little cinnamon.

  1. I added 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice to the yellow cake mix, and it was delicious! Also, if calories are not a factor, mix a block of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Put a teaspoon or so in the center of each muffin. Amazing!
     
  2. I too added 1/4 cup water and 1 egg.
     
  3. These are really good muffins! It's hard to believe they are low-fat! They are dense, but moist! I used a "spice" cake mix instead of a yellow cake mix. I filled my muffin cups almost full of batter and got 12 large muffins. Next time I would like to try a lemon cake mix with blueberry pie filling! Thanks for posting your recipe!
     
  4. These muffins are great! I used 2 cups cooked pumpkin instead of canned and added 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp ground clove. No one could ever guess these are made with boxed cake mix. Thanks for the recipe!

I recently joined weight watchers, and have been 'set free' in the world of being creative with food. I am always looking for a good recipe that is low fat, low calaroies, quick and easy. The less stress the better.
