Categories Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 (18.25) pkg spice or carrot cake mix
1 (15oz) can(s) libby's 100 % pure pumpkin
3 eggs
1/3 c water
2/3 c raisins

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or paper-line 24 muffin cups
2. Combine cake mix, pumpkin, eggs and water in a large mixing bowl until moistened. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in raisins. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.
3. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée has a much better flavor than canned pumpkin purée. To make your own pumpkin purée, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is soft, then scoop out the flesh and purée it in a food processor or blender.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin tins to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the muffins will make them dry.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice muffins are a delicious and festive fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With these tips, you can make the best pumpkin spice muffins you've ever tasted. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these muffins a try. Happy baking!
