Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cake Mix
How to make pumpkin cupcakes with cake mix. This is a delicious three ingredient pumpkin and peanut butter cupcake recipe with peanut butter frosting. This is a delicious fall treat that your family will love, and it makes a great dessert for parties.
Although I prefer to make my cakes and cupcakes from scratch most of the time, sometimes I just like the convenience of using a cake mix. This uses a spice cake mix.
These pumpkin spice cupcakes with cake mix are easy to make, and you don't even need eggs or oil! Instead, you'll use pumpkin and peanut butter to make them.
I made a peanut butter frosting, but you can swap that for your favorite frosting flavor.
You can definitely use a white cake mix or yellow cake mix to make pumpkin pie spice cupcakes. You can either use it plain or add spices to the cake mix.
I suggest adding 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg. I suggest buying high quality spices for best flavor.
This pumpkin spice cupcakes recipe is fairly easy, but here are some variations that you can make:
- Make sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix.
- You can use store bought pumpkin puree or make pumpkin puree in the Instant Pot.
- You can replace the peanut butter with pumpkin if desired.
- You can use a white cake mix or yellow cake mix to make pumpkin spice cupcakes with cake mix.
- If you use a white or yellow cake mix, then you can add 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg to add spices if desired.
- This will also work with a chocolate cake mix.
- I made a peanut butter frosting, but you can use your favorite buttercream frosting, cream cheese frosting, chocolate frosting, or a maple frosting.

I enjoy the ease of using spice cake mix for pumpkin bread (and I add chocolate chips to that recipe.) Can't wait to make the cupcakes also especially with the added peanut butter and frosting. Thanks for sharing.
