The Easiest (and possibly healthiest) Pumpkin Muffins

1 spice cake mix
1 15 oz. can of pumpkin

Mix it all up and put it in muffin tins!

Bake at 350 for about 18 minutes
They turn out a little funny looking, but yummy! I feel like chocolate chips would be a good addition.

*Recipe from Spark People, and according to them there are only 115 calories per muffin :)
