Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using a sugar-free cake mix. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. These muffins can also be made with a gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free option. Additionally, you can substitute the pumpkin with unsweetened applesauce for a different taste while keeping the recipe low in points.
Serving Suggestions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can use any flavor of cake mix you prefer. Chocolate or spice cake mixes work particularly well with pumpkin, adding a rich flavor to the muffins. Just ensure that the mix is dry and not pre-made with wet ingredients.
How can I make these muffins sweeter?
If you prefer sweeter muffins, you can add 1/4 cup of sugar or a sugar substitute to the mixture. Alternatively, consider folding in some chocolate chips or dried fruit for natural sweetness without significantly increasing the points.
Are these muffins suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes, this recipe can easily be made vegan by ensuring you use a vegan cake mix. The pumpkin acts as a great binding agent, and there's no need for eggs or dairy. Just double-check the cake mix ingredients to ensure they are vegan-friendly.
