How to make Pumpkin Cupcakes? It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3… well actually there are a few more steps. But it can’t get any easier than this. All you need is:
These were some of my best pumpkin cupcakes ever. And I love how easy they were to make. You’ll need a package of yellow cake mix or vegetable cake mix packs and a can of pureed pumpkin. The recipe calls for a teaspoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of ground ginger, one teaspoon of allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cloves; but feel free to add more if you want them spicier or less if you prefer them plainer. Below are the least ingredients mentioned, for just the plain soft cupcakes. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Mix eggs, oil, water, and pumpkin together in another bowl then pour into the dry mixture with your mixer on low speed until just combined. Divide between two greased muffin tins (or one extra large) then bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. If using mini-muffin pans, reduce baking time by 5 minutes. Let cool before frosting or serving so that the inside stays moist. If desired, top with marshmallow fluff (optional) and chocolate chips like I did (I recommend Ghirardelli brand). Enjoy these Pumpkin Cupcakes as part of your Halloween celebration this year!
Ingredients to prepare Halloween Cupcakes. The Best Pumpkin Cupcake recipe.
1) Yellow or vegetable cupcakes mix (or your favorite flavor)
2) White sugar
3) Eggs and oil (if needed)
4) Pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin pie filling
5) Brown sugar for caramelizing the top of the cake batter before baking {optional}
6) Chocolate chips mini as required
7) Halloween sprinkles to decorate!
Please Note~ Yellow cake mixes or especially Vegetable cupcake mixes are an excellent choice for preparing pumpkin cupcakes because they are naturally moist from being made with fresh vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and zucchini. They also provide a lighter texture which balances out the heavier flavors in pumpkin pies. To make your own Halloween special Pumpkin Cupcakes all you have to do is follow these simple instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix vegetable cupcakes according to package directions. In a small bowl whisk together eggs, white or brown sugar, and pumpkin puree until combined along with some chocolate morsels. Pour the mixture into the bowl containing the cupcake mix. Stir until just mixed; don’t overmix. Add 1⁄2 cup white or brown sugar to the tops of each cupcake and caramelize by placing it in the hot oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool. Decorate using Halloween-themed sprinkles on top!
