    Can't remember where I got this but have already made it three times.

    (1) Pkg. yellow cake mix (used moist formula ones)
    (1) 15 oz. can pumpkin (not pie mix, use plain)
    Seasoning options:
    1 1/2 T. pumpkin pie spice
    or
    I used this one:
    1/4 t. ground cloves
    1/2 t. freshly grated nutmeg
    1 t. ground cinnamon

    Mix spices in pumpkin, add in cake mix. Use cupcake pan (sprayed with Pam or paper holders).
    350 for 20-25 mins. Every time I made, took full 25 mins. Very dense, very moist...can add nuts, but NO eggs, oil etc.

    So I do not use the oil or eggs as the cake mix says? I just want to be sure I read it right. Is it ok if I use fresh pumpkin cooked down? I can't stand canned pumpkin and I always cook mine from the carved pumpkins.

    Try using a box of spice cake mix instead of the yellow.

    So I used the eggs and oil and mine turned out more like the consistency pumpkin pie. They did not rise and they were a bit hallow in the middle lol They tasted really good tho.. I am gonna give it a second try.

    Default No added eggs etc

    Use just the mix as it comes out of the box, no additives. Ignore the recipe on the box.

    I made the muffins Friday using all spice cake mix! Excellent even a couple of days later they were not stale.
