Provided by Sunrabbit

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 cups and 2 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour
1 3/4 cups and 2 tbsp unrefined sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder, aluminum-free
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
3/4 cup almond milk (may sub any creamy non-dairy milk)
6 tablespoons natural applesauce
6 tablespoons coconut oil (may sub extra light tasting olive oil)
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
4 ounces vegan non-hydrogenated margarine (I like Earth Balance)
4 ounces vegan cream cheese (I like Daiya brand because it is tapioca-based and tastes the best)
2 cups unbleached icing sugar (8.82 oz.)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Use paper muffin liners or lightly grease muffin tins (recipe makes 24 full-sized or 48 mini cupcakes--I like to do half and half, so 12 full-sized and 24 mini cupcakes).
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  • In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, almond milk, applesauce, coconut oil (heated to liquid), and maple syrup. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix thoroughly by hand.
  • Fill muffin liners 2/3-3/4 full. Bake full-sized cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick or knife inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean. Bake mini cupcakes for 10-14 minutes. (TIP: If you are doing half full-sized and half mini, fill the full-sized tin first and put it in the oven. Fill the mini tin and put it in the oven when there are 10-14 minutes remaining so both will be done at about the same time.).
  • Allow cupcakes to cool on cooling racks while you prepare the icing.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer, blend all four icing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Fill 16 inch pastry bag and pipe swirls atop each cupcake (be sure cupcakes are cooled completely before icing).
  • NOTE: These will do okay on the countertop or buffet table for a couple of hours, but they keep best for long periods in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Canned pumpkin puree can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your cupcakes a more intense pumpkin flavor and a smoother texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use cupcake liners: Cupcake liners will help to prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the pan and will make them easier to remove.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The cupcakes should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin cream cupcakes are the perfect fall dessert. They're moist, flavorful, and topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting. They're sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
