Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
This the simplest of recipes. Starting with a cake mix means no measuring the flour, sugar and other dry ingredients. So quick and easy. In no time at all your kitchen can be smelling like fall! Here are a couple baking tips. I typically (if I have time) allow my eggs to come to room temperature. I think this yields a better product. In this recipe, I use canned pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling. Be sure to read the comments. There are some great ideas. Some readers added pumpkin pie spice to kick up the flavor. If you are gluten free one reader said a gluten-free came mix worked perfectly to make these muffins.
