Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Cupcake Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 2 cup regular or gluten-free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese regular or vegan
  • 4 tablespoon softened butter regular or vegan

Instructions
 

Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Cupcake Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line 14-16 cupcake molds with paper liners. I like to lightly spray my liners with nonstick spray so the muffins don't stick to the liner.
  • Mix the oat or almond milk, pumpkin puree, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, sugar or purecane, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and spices together. Then, add the flour and mix just until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to over mix the batter or the muffins will become dense. Fold in the cinnamon.
  • Spoon the pumpkin cupcake batter into 16 lined muffin wells. Bake them in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
  • While the pumpkin cupcakes bake, use an electric hand mixer or whisk to mix the cream cheese frosting ingredients together. Pipe them over the cupcakes once they have cooled and enjoy!
