Ingredients
Pupcakes
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil plus an additional tablespoon
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in your cupcake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, vegetable oil, egg, and honey. Whisk together until combined.
- Add in the baking soda, baking powder, and whole wheat flour. Switch to a spatula and stir until incorporated. The batter will be really thick and perfect for scooping out.
- Scoop the batter and fill the cupcakes almost to the top of the liner.
- Place in the preheated oven and let bake for 25 - 27 minutes or until done. Stick a tooth pick in the center of the pupcakes and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs, it's done.
- Let cool completely.
