Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons non-fat milk powder
  • ½ teaspoon instant espresso
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

Baking Instructions

To prepare cupcakes you will need:

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare two 12-muffin tins with paper cups or spray with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, oil, vanilla paste and half of the hot water. Add dry ingredients and mix to combine. Add remaining hot water and mix until fully incorporated.

Divide batter among the 24 cups (about 4 tablespoons for each cupcake). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs. When cool enough to handle, remove cupcake from pan and finish cooling on a rack.
