Recipe:

1 box of spice cake mix
1 15oz can of pumpkin

Mix together (don't prepare the cake mix -- no eggs, oil -- just add the pumpkin) and bake at 350 for 20 minutes - check with a toothpick to see if they are done.

They are very moist, extra tasty...and maybe healthy even. About 115 calories each, and low in fat.

    Do you cook them the same amount of time as the cake mix was originally? I would really love to try this recipe out.

    I'm not sure how long I baked them actually...lol I just kept checking them until the knife came out clean. I used regular muffin tins and I got 22 small muffins. It does rise up good though. It seems like you're putting like two tablespoons of batter into a cup and you'll think..wow these are tiny..lol but they came out much less tiny than I thought they would and were soooo delicious. My calorie count came out to about 105 calories a piece if u divide the batch into 22 :)

    Try this!
    1 box pillsbury reduced sugar yellow cake mix
    1 15 ounce can pumpkim
    1/2 cup water

    I got 23 good sized muffins at 90 calories a piece, and they are so yummy. If you like the spicey taste of the spice cake, just add cinnamon and nutmeg :) Oh, BTW, bake at 350 for 20 mins

    Do I mix up the yellow cake mix by the directions than add pumpkin or does the pumpkin replace the other ingredients?
