Easy Pumpkin Muffins

I got this recipe from Sarah N. last fall. It is a family favorite and a healthy alternative to many muffins out there.

Easy Pumpkin Muffins

1 package yellow cake mix

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

***I often substitute pumpkin pie spice for the

nutmeg and cloves. Use whatever you have.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line 12 muffin cups.

In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, pumpkin and spices. Spoon equal amounts of batter into the prepared muffin cups. (You can also use a large star tip and "pipe" dough into the muffin cups. It takes a few extra minutes but the muffin keeps the star/swirl shape even after it is cooked). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
