    These Shortcut Pumpkin Spice Muffins are ready to enjoy in only 25 minutes! Irresistable pumpkin pie flavor in muffin form, what’s not to love?!

    Now that Fall is officially here, I am in full blown pumpkin mode! Pumpkin coffee cake, Pumpkin Coffee Cake Donuts, Libby’s Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, and more! YUM!

    Here in Houston, the weather hasn’t quite caught the memo on a cooler front until just this week! Today has a high of 73 degrees, impressive, right?!

    To kick off the cooler weather, I made these Pumpkin Spice Muffins, shortcut style of course!

    Using Bisquick, I had these ready for the oven in about 10 minutes! It only took that long because I couldn’t find my can opener to open the pumpkin and wasted a few minutes searching high and low!

    As soon as these came out of the oven, the entire house smelled like Fall. Pumpkin Spice to be exact!

    My kids enjoyed these for breakfast warm from the oven, what a start to the school week, right?

    Now, I will be open about these and say…due to the Bisquick, they are a bit more firm/dense than a normal muffin. Still quite tasty, but I recommend warming them up prior to enjoying if not from the oven!

    Each batch makes about 10-12 muffins, so plenty for having family/friends over or enjoying through the week!

    If you’re into the Fall season, give these Shortcut Pumpkin Spice Muffins a try and let me know what you think! Let’s also connect on Instagram! CLICK HERE!

      I actually have never minded how much time it took to make muffins, but I have to say the Bisquick gave these such a fantastic texture and flavor. The reduction in time was a nice bonus!

      Just made these muffins. I didn’t have Bisquick so used a white cake mix (2 cups – per the directions) and turned out great! thanks for the quick and delicious recipe!
