The awesome part of using cake mix to make muffins is that you can skip so many steps! The cake mix contains ingredients such as flour, sugar, and baking soda. When you add pumpkin puree to it, you have all the necessary components for fluffy, moist pumpkin muffins.

Use a kitchen utensil to mix everything together. Add batter to muffin cups using a couple of tablespoons. The cups will be mostly full. Use a spoon to smooth out the surface of the batter.

Place muffin tin in oven and bake for 25 minutes. Then, pull the muffins out and check with a toothpick to see if they are done. Poke a muffin and see if the toothpick comes out clean. If not, pop the tin back in the oven for another few minutes and check again.
