QUICK AND EASY PUMPKIN CUPCAKES
My grandmother used to make these around the holidays. They are a big hit at office parties and with kids! They are very quick and easy. If you want icing, I recommend whipped cream cheese icing, but they are very good without it.

EASY PUMPKIN CUPCAKES
I made this recipe myself for my cupcake swap partner. I'd heard so much about people mixing black beans with cake mixes and getting edible desserts! I thought, why not mix a cake mix with something really good, and I found a can of pumpkin on my shelf. I frosted these with just a dusting of powdered sugar, but you could get some...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare 24 muffin cups with paper liners or grease well.
- 2. Mix cake mix, pumpkin, oil, eggs, and spice on low speed of mixer until just blended. Then beat 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping bowl a couple of times.
- 3. Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops spring back when touched lightly. Cool about 5 minutes in pans, then remove to rack for complete cooling.
- 4. You can either frost with the craisin-vanilla frosting, or just dust with powdered sugar. Craisin-vanilla frosting: stir about 1 cup of craisins into a tub of vanilla frosting. Spread or pipe onto cupcakes.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin puree. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cupcakes at a moderate temperature. Baking the cupcakes at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from overcooking.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cupcakes for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving dinners, or any other autumn gathering. With a few simple tips, you can make pumpkin cupcakes that are moist, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
