Pumpkin is so popular this time of the year! Thanksgiving will be here before I know it and I can't wait to serve these for a dessert party I'm supposed to be having. Hopefully, I won't chicken out like I did last year! I found this photo from Janet Hudson in the public domain who is an amazing vegan baker and cook! However, since I'm not a vegan at least not yet...LOL, I had to find a recipe that I could use.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sift before measuring
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/3 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten until frothy
1 cup mashed cooked or canned pumpkin
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs. Blend in mashed pumpkin. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk, blending until batter is smooth after each addition; stir in chopped walnuts or pecans. Spoon batter into well-greased and floured or paper-lined muffin pan cups. Fill about 2/3 full. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
Frost with cream cheese frosting, and top with candy corn. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar over the candy. Makes about 24 cupcakes.
