Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine dry ingredients into one bowl -- cake mix, spices, oatmeal.

Combine wet ingredients into a separate bowl -- milk, egg whites, syrup, pumpkin.

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients while blending everything together on low without over-beating.

Once all ingredients are combined, pour cake mixture into a greased cupcake pan, or into cupcake liners.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Eat while warm or let cupcakes cool to enjoy over the next couple days. Muffins taste best either immediately out of the oven, or the next day once the fruit has set.

Pro tip: slice muffins in half, toast and add a big spread of your favorite nut butter!
