Ingredients

1 Box White cake mix or yellow cake mix

1 (15 oz)can Pumpkin


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 C). 2. Mix Canned pumpkin with favorite cake mix. ( Try different types of cake mixes for a different flavor. I have used white, spice and even the halloween funfetti mix and they have all been great. (I'm sure chocolate and yellow would work fine as well). 3. This is the fun part. Add in whatever you want to the mix. I like to add dark chocolate chips, walnuts, 1, tbsp of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. Some people in my family like raisins, white chocolate, pumpkin pie spice, the list goes on. Its easy to make these to everyone's liking. If you feel like being lazy just throw it in the oven with out adding anything to the mix, they will still be good. 4. Add mixture to a greased muffin pan (about 20-23 minutes). 9 x 13 greased Loaf pan (about 25-30 mins.) You can even roll them into cookies on a greased baking pan ( about 14-16 mins.) Cooking times will vary so check for doneness with toothpick. 5. Because I like my muffins on the moist side I will add about 1/3 cup water to the mixture. Just mix and match until you get the perfect turnout. Its such an economical recipe you cant go wrong.

I made this 3 different ways this morning. To Each I added 15 oz fresh pumpkin with some nutmeg, gr. clove, cinnamon and all spice added. I did also add to all 3 recipes 3 eggs, 1/2 to 1 cup water (depend upon the consistency I needed), 1/4 cup oil. 1st cake was a bundt cake. Made with the above Ingred. and a white cake mix. I added about a cup of walnuts and baked it at 350 for about 45 minutes. T2nd was with a chocolate cake mice I don't do anything fancy to it just basic. The 3rd I made into cookies. I had to adds cup of all purpose flour to the mix to make it cookie consistency. This way the cookies didn't flatten out when baking. I also added chocolate chips to the batter. They took about 8-10 minutes to cook. The cookies are light and really yummy tasting.

This recipe will take some experiments to perfect. We made it last night with white cake mix, pumpkin, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg and 1/3 cup water. The batter was extremely thick and the muffins were tough to eat because of their texture. We will try it next time with 1/2 cup milk and maybe even an egg.

Do you really have to add eggs and oil?

Must add the eggs, oil, and water that the cake calls for or it will be too dense and rubbery.

Should there be any adjustments for high altitude? After about an hour in the oven it still ended up gooey. The taste was good though
