Commonly Asked Questions
Can I use a different cake mix flavor?
Yes, while spice cake mix gives that classic fall flavor, you can use yellow, chocolate, or any other boxed cake mix for a different twist.
How should I store these muffins?
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
Can I add mix-ins to the batter?
Of course! Feel free to add in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for an extra flavor boost.
Can I use homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned?
Yes, homemade pumpkin puree works just as well. Just make sure it has a similar consistency to canned puree and isn’t too watery.
Can I make these muffins gluten-free?
Yes! Simply use a gluten-free spice cake mix in place of the regular one, and you’ll have gluten-free muffins.
