Directions
Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the cornbread mix, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. Then, add the pumpkin puree and water to the dry ingredients and stir everything until just combined—don’t overmix. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before enjoying!
What To Serve With This Dish
