Recipe from The Baker Upstairs
Cupcake Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, softened
4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar (more as needed)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin by lining with paper liners.
Whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs, and mix until blended. Mix in flour mixture until combined.
Scoop into prepared muffin tin, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove and let cool on a rack.
For the frosting, beat together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar slowly and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and cinnamon.
If necessary, add more powdered sugar until the frosting is firm enough to hold its shape but still light and fluffy.
Wait to frost until cupcakes are cooled.
Enjoy!
