Ingredients

Units Scale

Pumpkin Cupcakes:

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugars, eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Blend ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool and chill: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
  8. Top and serve: Top with whipped cream before serving if desired.
