Ingredients
Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes:
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Topping:
- whipped cream for topping
- ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 12 silicone or parchment cupcake liners.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and evaporated milk until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Fill cupcake liners: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and chill: Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then carefully transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Serve: Serve topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- These cupcakes will have a soft, custard-like center similar to pumpkin pie.
- Silicone liners work best to prevent sticking.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
