3 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins
The best one bowl pumpkin muffins! They are quick and easy to make, delicious, moist, and fluffy. Not to mention, you only need three ingredients- spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, and water.
EQUIPMENT
- 2 muffin pan - standard, 12 cavity
- cupcake liners - paper or parchment
- cookie scoop - medium sized, for equally measuring batter
INGREDIENTS
- 1 box spice cake mix - or yellow cake mix with 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice
- 15 ounce unsweetened pumpkin puree - canned or fresh
- ¼ cup water - hot
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425° F and line the muffin pan cavities with baking cups, parchment paper, or nonstick cooking spray.
- To a large bowl add the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, hot water and mix until the batter is just combined.
- Fill each cavity 3/4 of the way full using a cookie scoop, spoon, or measuring cup.NOTE: For bakery style muffins, fill them all the way (typically 2 scoops of batter) and bake 3 to 5 minutes longer.
- Bake for 5 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350° F and bake for 10-12 more minutes. NOTE: The muffins should spring back to the touch, the tops no longer glossy, and a toothpick test should come out completely clean. Don't worry about overbaking, as they cool the pumpkin will give them back some moisture.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan. Place on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
