Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, fill your muffin tin with liners and spray the liners with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl combine the first four ingredients until smooth
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  4. Fill the cupcake liners until half full with the batter and bake for 22-28 minutes (26 was perfect for my oven) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before icing.

For The Icing

  1. In a mixing bowl add the butter and whisk until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and maple syrup until the icing has thickened. Add more powdered sugar if you desire a thicker icing. 
  2. To frost, add the icing to a piping bag and pipe over the cooled cupcakes. If you don’t have a piping bag you can simply use a butter knife.
