I found this pin on Pinterest of 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins from Sweet-Verbina, originally made as a pumpkin cake on Big Red Kitchen. The hubster and I both LOVE pumpkin, so I knew I had to try it! I used Spice Cake instead of the Vanilla Cake used in the original recipe, and it was amazing!
You just empty the cake mix and the 16oz. can of pumpkin into a mixing bowl and mix it. That's it! No eggs, no water, nothing! I did this at work so there wasn't an electric mixer, and mixing it by hand made it kind of sticky and not batter-like like it was supposed to be, but it tasted yummy anyway, even if it didn't look the best.
Tah-dah!
I ate some plain, but I also bought some Cream Cheese frosting for the top and it tasted really great too!
Other Variations :
- Big Red Kitchen has a recipe for a glaze with her post
- Sweet-Verbina dusted hers with powdered sugar
- I bet it would taste great with chocolate chips added in
- I might try making these as pancakes too; yum!
- I'm thinking about trying it out with carrot cake mix too
Have you tried these out? Any other ideas to change up this simple recipe?

I have those same ingredients sitting out on my kitchen counter! I even thought about getting the spice mix, but went with yellow....now I think I need to make another Publix run to get the spice cake mix! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI made these once long before I ever saw them on pinterest and I too used Spice cake. I actually added chocolate chips and dropped spoonfuls on a cookie sheet to make cookies. After having made the cookies I totally think muffins are the way to go.

Yum! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYUM. Now I really want some!
ReplyDeleteI have made these before and they are delish. The best part is they are only 2 weight watchers points! Yeah for pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteIt probably tastes amazing with cream cheese frosting.
