Description

Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes combine the classic flavors of pumpkin pie into a convenient, bite-sized dessert. These moist cupcakes feature a custard-like pumpkin filling with a blend of spices, perfect for autumn celebrations or cozy treats. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of fall flavor.


Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup evaporated milk

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

For the Topping:

Whipped cream or Cool Whip

Ground cinnamon (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Stir in evaporated milk until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Before serving, top with whipped cream or Cool Whip and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour and a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.

You can freeze these cupcakes for up to three months. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container. Thaw before serving.

Mini cupcakes can be made by using a mini muffin tin and adjusting the baking time to 10-15 minutes.
