Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes
Description
Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes start by combining pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and evaporated milk, whisked until smooth. A separate mix of flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder is then incorporated just until blended, ensuring the cupcakes remain light. The batter is scooped into lined muffin pans, filled to about halfway as the cupcakes will slightly deflate during cooling.
Baking at 350°F for roughly 20 minutes results in cupcakes that are firm and set with a moist crumb typical of pumpkin desserts. After cooling in the pan, chilling cupcakes further stabilizes the texture and enhances the flavor. The finished cupcakes are topped with whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice, adding creaminess and complementary warmth reminiscent of traditional pumpkin pie.
This recipe delivers individually portioned pumpkin treats ideal for sharing or dessert plates. The use of evaporated milk adds richness, while the balanced spice mix yields well-rounded flavor without overpowering.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 pumpkin puree 15 oz. can, pure
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice mix
