Easy Pumpkin Cupcakes image

I made this recipe myself for my cupcake swap partner. I'd heard so much about people mixing black beans with cake mixes and getting edible desserts! I thought, why not mix a cake mix with something really good, and I found a can of pumpkin on my shelf. I frosted these with just a dusting of powdered sugar, but you could get some...

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box yellow cake mix
15 oz canned pumpkin
1/3 c oil
2 eggs
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
FROSTING
1 can(s) vanilla frosting
1 c craisins (dried cranberries)
OR just dust with powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare 24 muffin cups with paper liners or grease well.
  • 2. Mix cake mix, pumpkin, oil, eggs, and spice on low speed of mixer until just blended. Then beat 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping bowl a couple of times.
  • 3. Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops spring back when touched lightly. Cool about 5 minutes in pans, then remove to rack for complete cooling.
