4U COSTUMES

Fall is here, and the aroma of pumpkins wafts through the air. Trees drape themselves in shades of amber, russet, and gold. While there's an urge to cozy up with a warm beverage, we have a delightful twist for you: Pumpkin Cupcakes that encapsulate the heart and soul of this enchanting season.

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

1 3/4 cake flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cupcake pans, and if you're in need of a reliable set, the Rachael Ray Yum-o Nonstick Square Baking Pan and 24-Cup Mini Muffin Pan Set comes highly recommended for their durability and efficiency.

2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  
3. In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. If you have a KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Qt Stand Mixer it will simplify the process remarkably.

4. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Once done, allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting. Choose any frosting color that resonates with your fall vibe – be it the classic creamy white or a vibrant orange.

Savor the flavors of the season with these Pumpkin Cupcakes that are perfect for Halloween parties or cozy evenings with loved ones. While cupcakes are a delightful treat, always remember the golden rule of wellness: moderation. Enjoy!
