How To Make Pumpkin Muffins with 2 Ingredients (Quick Overview)

The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the muffins. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Preheat your oven and prepare your muffin pan. Then gather your whopping two ingredients… 😀

Trust the process and don’t look at the box instructions! You really only need these two ingredients, I promise.

… and add them to a bowl.

Gently mix (I mix on low speed) until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix.

Add the batter to your prepared muffin pan.

The batter will be quite sticky. I like to use a cookie scoop to scoop the batter in, then smooth the tops with the back of a large spoon sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake, cool on a rack, and enjoy! 🧡

Important Tips

I recommend using a Duncan Hines mix for superior flavor and for the correct cake mix size. Due to “shrinkflation,” Betty Crocker mixes are now 13.25 oz instead of 15.25 oz. If you use a Betty Crocker mix, you will need to use 13 oz pumpkin puree instead of 15 oz and make 10 muffins instead of 12.
You can use any flavor of cake mix. If you use a non-spiced cake mix (like French vanilla) and want to add a spiced flavor, I recommend 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. You can also use chocolate cake mix and skip the spices!
