     I make these all the time but add 1/2 cup water because the mixture is so thick. I use my mini muffin tins and get about 38 muffins out of the mix. Then I place 5 muffins in pint size baggies and freeze. It's like having my own 100 cal snack packs but without paying the high price for store bought. - 7/23/09

     Tried and tried this several different ways. The best way was this: CARROT cake mix, a can of pumpkin, 1/4 cup of applesauce and 1/4 cup of water. After several trials, that was the easiest and tastiest method. Our favorite muffins are Panera or Atlanta Bread's pumpkin muffins. Try the change! - 1/17/11

     I tried this method with Spice cake and Carrot cake, and they were both really good, but the Carrot cake was incredible! So delicious. I cheated a little and added just a dime size drop of cream cheese frosting to it, and it was great. I recommend this muffin recipe, its wonderful! - 4/7/09

     I love this recipe...been baking these for years. It's actually an old Weight Watcher's recipe and a very good one. You don't have to add water or anything to the recipe mix...the cupcakes will be more moist if you don't. You can also substitute other cake mixes....I sometimes use devil's food. - 10/29/08

     AWESOME. I was actually looking for a pumpkin/flax seed muffin recipe and this recipe was elsewhere but with the flax seed meal added. So I made these muffins with 1 box spice cake mix, 1 egg, 1 can of pumpkin, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of flax seed meal. They are sooo good and easy. - 1/20/08

     I made a loaf of bread from this. It turned out really well. I added cinnamon and ginger for more flavor. Everyone who tried it said it was just as good as the real thing. Next time I will add walnuts or pecans. Very moist!! - 12/4/07

     AMAZING! I made them exactly as the recipe said, using Duncan Hines Spice Cake. Great muffin texture, not dense, not too light, not doughy. When I asked my husband what he thought ... "I'll let you know after about 6 more!" It made 18, nice size muffins, and now I look forward to experimenting! - 4/4/09

     I learned about this recipe at WW. You can also make this recipe with chocolate cake mix and it's delicious, too. Love it! - 1/10/09

     I've made these muffins many times. I like adding flax seeds for Omega3 fats and fiber! - 10/6/08

     Wonderful recipe and so easy. I used vanilla cake and yellow cake mix when I have made them and they taste great. The kids love them and such an easy recipe they can help make them. This is a keeper! - 3/11/09
  • RENEEP07
     These were great! I beat together some softened fat free cream cheese and 1/3 c splenda for a sweet frosting on top! Loved it... was a little skeptical with only 2 ingredients, but this recipe proved to be a winner! - 10/3/08

     I used a carrot cake mix couldn't find a spice one. I added 1/2 cup water and cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and made it in a bundt pan cooked for about 35-40 minutes and it was very good. I would definitely make it again and it was so EASY. - 4/13/08

     yummy, but i think the calorie count is off a little- at least when i entered mine it was closer to 200 calories- maybe there is a difference in cake mix brands? - 11/9/09

     hi, i'll tell you what , i was looking for something quick w/pumpkin & came across this recipe & they are great. i used the spice cake mix and added applesauce. then i only had one box so i used a quick bread i had also & added nuts & applesauce & a drop of almond extract. they are good too.thanks - 1/19/09
  • KTRIBE808
     I was excited about this recipe until I saw it uses a box cake mix. I have never used a box cake mix and I am not going to do so now. From scratch is so much healthier! - 5/8/13

     This is a great starting point. I took a white cake mix and added pumpkin pie seasonings and I added water to make a smooth batter. Gave them to a friend's family who was just home from having a baby and they loved them!!! So thanks for sharing! - 8/11/09

     would hate to try it since mixes are full of chemicals would to get it from scratch - 9/24/13
  • VIOLINLADY3
     These are delicious! There are so many variations you can make on this by using different mixes and nuts or fruit pieces. Great! - 11/28/08
  • JENN.1211
     Love this recipe!! I wasn't sure what to expect but these turn out great! The mixture is very thick, but the muffins are light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these over and over again! - 8/15/10

     I added 1-1/2 cups water, and it still came out good. I recommend using gluten free or sugar free cake mixes to make not as unhealthy.
    I also added 1-1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. - 11/27/09
  • MBALAYAN
     Loved it! Made it for my family, it literally tastes like pumpkin pie in a muffin, moist and chewy! YUM, YUM:-) - 10/13/08

     "Two ingredients," where one "ingredient" is a non-standard pantry item containing nearly 3 DOZEN ingredients, is a bit misleading. - 11/6/13

     I love love love these. And my 2yo who is allergic to eggs and milk can't have regular cupcakes, so SHE loves these, too! I use a hfcs free/organic cake mix and they're fabulous :) - 1/4/09

     I'm sorry but 'cake mix' is not ONE ingredient to me: it's a MIX of ingredients! - 11/16/13
  • DUDADZ
     Loved them. So easy and really good. I made only 12 from the recipe though (regular sized muffins, I think 18 would be too small). So they were 180 calories each. I would definitely make them again! - 11/23/10
