Simple pumpkin muffins made with a box of cake mix, streusel topping, and a maple glaze are perfect for when the Fall weather hits or whenever a pumpkin craving strikes! Sometimes that happens in late Summer for me. 🙂  I attempted to make some pumpkin doughnuts with a box of cake mix, a can of pumpkin puree, and some water. This same recipe also works really well with muffins. Since the streusel topping was already made from yesterday’s recipe, this was super fast! I included the streusel topping with the recipe below just in case you don’t have any leftover streusel topping from the day before.  If you don’t want to read the whole entire post please use the Skip to Recipe Feature at the top of the post. 

What Ingredients do I need? 

Cake Mix  - Yellow or Pumpin is best. If using a sugar free cake mix it doesn’t lower the points much at all.  Sugar - Feel free to use sugar substitutes instead of sugar but I haven’t tested this recipe with any. Look up the conversations online for your favorite one.
