I love anything with Pumpkin and I most always have the majority of the ingredients on hand for anything pumpkiny! Here is an easy recipe from The Daily Dish Recipes.

If you haven’t visited Nicole’s blog, you may want to bookmark her site as she has some really great recipes that she tries in her own kitchen with her 5 kiddies being the taste testers!! You will find some delicious recipes, great tips and interesting articles as well:) This is one of the recipes she just listed and I will have to make some this week!!Yummy!

Pumpkin CupCakes:

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temp
1 c. firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/3 c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temp
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
1 1/4 c. pumpkin puree (this about 1 15oz can)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Insert cupcake liners into your muffin or cupcake pan.

In a large bowl cream together the butter and the sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). Add the eggs to the creamed mixture only one at a time. Mix well after each egg. Beat well.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt. Once blended, begin adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time. Alternate with the milk, stirring after each addition. Mix until completely integrated.

Add the pumpkin puree and the vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Fill the cupcake liners 1/2 to 3/4 full. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Eat and enjoy. You can eat them alone or you can frost them with frosting. Cream cheese frosting goes VERY well with these cupcakes.

Thanks Nicole for such a great recipe. Does anyone else have a great pumpkin recipe they would like to share? I would love to make some new Pumpkin treats for this Fall Season!
