Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a richer flavor and texture than canned puree. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature: Baking the cupcakes at a high temperature will help them rise and create a tender crumb.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: Frosting the cupcakes while they are still warm will cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
- 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:
These pumpkin cupcakes are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert or something to impress your guests, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
