Pumpkin Muffins (cupcakes)

Fall is here and what better way to celebrate than a recipe with pumpkin! And, an easy one, too!
I first got this recipe from Heidi. When I heard how easy and versitile it was, and it got my kids to eat some vegetables, I had to give it a try. I like to call them muffins, so that I can give them to my kids for breakfast or a snack without feeling guilty, but I guess they are really cupcakes.

1 can pumpkin
1 box of cake mix (any kind)
that is all

Mix the pumpkin and cake mix. If it is too thick, I sometimes add a little water, about 1/4 cup.
Fill muffin tins with mix
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes
They come out so moist and delicious. And, the best part, you can use any cake mix. It works so well with spice cake, but also with yellow, chocolate, whatever you want. And, the girls like it when I add chocolate chips to them. Or, if you prefer, you could make this into a cake or cookies!
