Hello everyone! Yesterday I was tweeting about an awesome dessert I made- Pumpkin Cupcakes! They actually could be a cupcake OR a muffin... I consider the frosted ones to be cupcakes... and the non-frosted to be more like muffins. But what's really important here is that they only took 2 INGREDIENTS to make! I owe all of my knowledge on this concept to the blog Sweet Verbena, which I discovered through my newest website obsession- Pinterest. It's a site where people post pictures and you can make your own little "boards" where you "pin" those recipes, outfits, home decor, etc. Many of them link back to a blog. You can see my boards on my Pinterest page. How to make pumpkin cupcakes/muffins...
- Get a can of pumpkin and a box of yellow cake mix
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine the two ingredients (I used a hand mixer)- batter will be thick
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes
- You can doctor them up with things like cream cheese frosting or powdered sugar... I told my mom about this recipe and she threw in cinnamon & nutmeg and raisins, and added a streusel topping.
The end result is a SUPER moist muffin with pumpkin flavor. The pumpkin taste is nothing overpowering, but very yummy. You don't have to add oil, eggs, or anything to the batter- and I think that's so cool! If you have a fall gathering and you need to throw something together quick, this is a no-brainer and both Tyler and I loved them! I could also picture these being very tasty heated up with a scoop of ice cream on the side! :)

What size can of pumpkin? There are 15 oz and 30 oz cans. Which one is for this recipe?
I've made these before and they are yummy! @anastasia the 15 oz can is fine!
YUM. Try them using a chocolate cake mix, can of pumpkin and 1/2 cup (or more) of mini chocolate chips. The pumpkin flavor doesn't come through and you are left with yummy, moist, chocolate muffins!
I already have a can of the pumpkin pie filling in my cupboard... do you think this would work as well?
I just bought the ingredients today and my daughter and I will be making them tomorrow, thanks Emily!
That sounds so yummy! I like how easy it is to just whip up on just a moment's notice.
I'm a huge fan of pumpkin desserts, so I must try this. Thanks for sharing!
Its really good using Spice cake instead of yellow cake:)
What size can did you use for the pumpkin?
I made these using spice cake mix and adding a half cup of craisins & a half cup of Hersheys cinnamon chips. I topped them with a streusel topping made of chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon & butter. Lots of raves!
I make these all the time too, but I use spice cake mix! :)
Now I have to make these!!
thank you that is so simple! I will try it with the spice cake mix! yum!
My sister-in-law makes these same muffins with chocolate chips! So yummy!
