Perfect for fall parties! To make standard-sized cupcakes, just use a traditional muffin tin and adjust the time for baking.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.

Mix flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix and set aside.

Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, egg, oil, and juice in a large bowl. Whisk until just blended.

Add flour to the pumpkin mixture and stir with a fork or whisk until moistened.

Use a tablespoon to fill prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake.

Remove cupcakes from muffin tin and allow to cool completely on a wire baking rack before decorating.

Best with homemade or store-bought cream cheese frosting!
