Fall is here which means my body instantly wants everything to be flavored with pumpkin and apples and I’m happy to oblige!

These are the MOST easy pumpkin muffins you’ll ever make. Hands down! I mean, it doesn’t get much easier than three ingredients!

We make these at the beginning of the week, and then use them for school lunches, or quick breakfast items throughout the week on the way out the door.

How do you make these 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins?

Step 1: Gather your supplies.

Ingredients:

• Spice Cake Mix
• 15 oz Can of Pumpkin
• Egg

Pick your favorite box of spice cake mix. Regular yellow cake won’t work, because it will be missing those warm flavors you need to blend with the pumpkin.

Make SURE you get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix because they are not the same. Regular pumpkin puree is what you need for this recipe.

Step 2: Mix the ingredients.

Mix the cake mix, the pumpkin puree, and the egg together. You can easily do this by hand.

You don’t need to add the eggs, oil, and water like the back of the cake mix says, just the ingredients I gave you.

The batter will be thick, but it’s supposed to be that way.

Step 3: Spoon it into muffin pans.

This recipe will make about 16 regular-sized muffins or about 36 mini muffins.

Keep in mind if you use a mini muffin pan, that your cook time will be reduced. See the recipe notes in the recipe card below.

Fill your greased muffin cups about 2/3 of the way full. They won’t ride too much, so don’t worry about that.

Step 4: Bake your pumpkin muffins.

Bake your 3 ingredient pumpkin muffins according to the back of your cake mix package.

I baked mine for about 18 minutes and they came out perfect. Just make sure when a toothpick is inserted it comes out clean.

Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

3 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins Variations:

• Nuts. Add walnuts to the mix to change these up a bit!
• Frosting. Make these into cupcakes by adding a cream cheese frosting to the tops of these pumpkin muffins once they’ve cooled.
• Topping. Make a cinnamon sugar crumble to add to the top of these for some pizzaz!
• Chocolate. Add chocolate chips to these for a pop of chocolate!

Yield: 12-18 muffins
