Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Mix pumpkin puree and cake mix together in a large bowl. (Don’t be alarmed..it is a little tough to stir!)
Grease cookie sheet or muffin tins with cooking spray or use paper inserts for muffins.
For cookies, portion out about 1 Tablespoon of mixture per cookie. For cupcakes, portion approximately ¼ cup of the mixture into each regular muffin tin. (A scoop is a really helpful tool for uniformity and quick release!)
For cookies, press mixture down slightly with a fork. (Spray the fork with cooking spray or dip in water so it won’t stick.)
For regular-sized muffins: cook approximately 18-20 minutes. For cookies: cook approximately 18 minutes. Let rest a few minutes after removing from the oven.
If you have leftovers, they freeze well. Wrap in plastic and store in a plastic bag.
Notes
Tips:
Optionally stir in raisins, chocolate chips, or walnuts for a little variation.
The batter is very thick and sticky. Using a scoop with a quick release makes the process much easier. Wet a fork or spoon with water or non-stick cooking spray so it won't stick if you want to press things down.
Spray the paper muffin liners with cooking spray too!
