Pumpkin muffins made with cake mix combine canned pumpkin puree, a box of cake mix and a bit of pumpkin pie spice mix for an easy and delicious fall cake mix muffin.
These muffins will make it to the Thanksgiving table but for a savory roll, I will be serving Rhodes rolls because they come out perfect every time. Whipped butter would be perfect on both of these rolls.
