Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (or 350°F for a slightly firmer muffin). Line a 12-count muffin tin with muffin liners, or spray with cooking spray if you prefer not to use liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix and pumpkin puree. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to mix until well blended. Verify there are no lumps in the batter.

Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Keep an eye on them, as some muffins may take 24-26 minutes depending on your oven.

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

For best results when making pumpkin muffins, consider adding optional ingredients like mini chocolate chips or walnuts for added texture and flavor.

You can also experiment with different cake mixes, such as using Devil's Food Cake Mix for a chocolate twist.

Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to six months to enjoy later. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin muffins!
