Are these muffin sized or cupcake sized?

I prepare these like muffins or like cupcakes. It’s more of a reasonable size to eat for us when I make them like cupcakes but you but you can do either it’ll just depend on the pan!

Make them larger by putting the 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins batter into muffin pans, for small ones just load the batter into liners and cupcake pans!

Can I add frosting to these muffins?

You can absolutely add some icing to these pumpkin muffins if you like. Cream cheese goes so well with these and some cinnamon whipped topping would be a nice touch too if you want to serve some of that on the side or on top.

If you want to ice or glaze these 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins just be sure to wait until they’re completely cooled to add that or it will melt and slide off. Canned/jarred cream cheese frosting will do the trick or you can try one of the recipes I linked above for topping these tasty muffins.

What do I need to make easy pumpkin muffins?

The two ingredients you will need are canned pumpkin and a spice cake mix! That is everything you will need to make the most delicious and moist pumpkin muffins.

You can also add some cream cheese frosting to the list if you want to add a little drizzle of icing to the top once they’re done baking but that’s definitely not necessary!

It’s the best of both worlds. Delicious, portable, perfect for sharing, and yet super simple to shop for and prepare.
