- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to scoop the batter into the prepared muffin liners until about ¾ of the way full. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake the pumpkin muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs).

Notes
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
Vanilla Cake Mix: In place of spice cake mix, you can use vanilla cake mix and add 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
Pumpkin: Be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not canned pumpkin pie mix, or the muffins will be way too sweet.
Gluten-Free: To make gluten-free pumpkin muffins, use gluten-free cake mix. If you can't find a gluten-free spice cake mix, use a vanilla cake mix and add pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
