Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 10 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
Maple Frosting (recipe follows)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Heath bars, for serving (two 1.4-ounce bars)
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the top of a muffin pan with vegetable oil and line it with 10 paper liners.
  • Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. In a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar and the 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared tins (I use a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, spread the cupcakes with the Maple Frosting and sprinkle with the chopped Heath bars.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese, butter, maple syrup and vanilla on medium-low speed until very smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly add the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth.

Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
¾ cup milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Sift together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
  • Beat 1/2 cup of butter, the white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree after the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese and 1/4 butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar a little at a time until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; beat until fluffy. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with the cream cheese icing.

Tips:

- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can use canned pumpkin puree. - If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. - Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. - Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. - For a richer frosting, use full-fat cream cheese. - If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey or agave nectar instead. - Decorate the cupcakes with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin spice cupcakes with maple frosting are the perfect fall treat. They're moist and flavorful, with a delicious maple frosting that complements the pumpkin flavor perfectly. Plus, they're easy to make and can be decorated to fit any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet and seasonal treat, give these cupcakes a try!
