Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
The change in weather brings out the baker in me. It could be because most of our activities are centered around fall – a few weeks ago we went apple and peach picking and now pumpkin picking. Whatever it may be, it prompted us to make this super easy pumpkin spice cupcakes.
You can appreciate a no fuss recipe that isn’t from scratch, instead using ingredients in your pantry – cake mix and pureed pumpkin. The cupcake doubles as next day school snacks for the kids. Eat it as is or frost it with store bought dressing. In this instance, simple is truly better.
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1-15 oz. can of pure pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 3 eggs ⅓ cup water
- ⅓ cup veggie oil
- Store bought frosting
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Line muffin pans with baking cups
- Empty spice cake
mix into a large mixing bowl - Add water, oil and eggs, and pumpkin
blend until well mixed - Pour batter into muffin cups, filling ¾ full
- Bake for about 18 to 23 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean
- Cool in pans for about 10 minutes then remove and place on wire racks to cool completely
