Anticipating Fall! My Crazy Easy Pumpkin Muffin Recipe For Under $2!!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not the best at cooking. My husband loves to cook, so he does most of it. Baking is more of my thing, so I spend a lot of time on pinterest looking up yummy treats haha. My family loves these muffins. I like to make these for family get togethers, or if I'm having a last minute Sunday football watch party. I'm all about deals also so I buy the ingredients at Aldi grocery store, and it's about $2. Even if you're not good at baking, this is something you have to try. Especially if you love pumpkin as much as me! Now when I say it's crazy easy, I mean TWO ingredients. No eggs, no water, no oil.

All you're going to need is:
                     *yellow cake mix $0.99 and 1 can of pumpkin puree $0.89 (I bought both at aldi)
                                                      Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees

Step 1. Put ONLY cake mix and puree in a bowl and mix. You can do it by hand but the pumpkin puree is kind of thick so it will take longer. I prefer using a mixer. 

Step 2. Grab a muffin tin or whatever you plan to cook it in. (I've tried it in a cake pan a few times and it turned out just as good.) I like using paper baking cups for the muffins. It's cute and it makes for easier clean up

Step 3. Put them in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. You'll want them to brown a little on the top. To ensure they're cooked all the way through, stick a tooth pick in the center and it should come out clean when you pull it out. I like to let them cool for about an hour before I take them out of the pan.

And you're done! I personally like them this way, but feel free to add powdered sugar on top, or add cream cheese icing if you'd like. I try to keep them as low calorie as possible haha. 

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you try these out!
