Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the top of a muffin pan with vegetable oil and line it with 10 paper liners.
- Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. In a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar and the 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared tins (I use a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, spread the cupcakes with the Maple Frosting and sprinkle with the chopped Heath bars.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese, butter, maple syrup and vanilla on medium-low speed until very smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly add the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth.
PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This is a wonderful recipe I discovered and changed a bit to suit my taste. I love the flavor of pumpkin and the cinnamon makes ordinary cream cheese frosting extra special. When I made a batch for my husband to take to work, he said they disappeared in record time. -Debbie Wiggins, Longmont, Colorado

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line muffin pans with cupcake papers.
- 2. To a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, 3 oz. of pumpkin, water, eggs, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. ginger and 1/8 tsp. nutmeg. Beat on low speed of electric mixer for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for two minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- 3. Fill cupcake papers 1/2 to 2/3 full and bake in preheated oven until cupcakes test done by springing back when touched lightly with fingertip in center. Remove to racks to cool.
- 4. While cupcakes cool, make the frosting. To achieve the best and lightest frosting, you're going to need to beat it for a long period of time. This is best done with an electric stand mixer so you can do other things while your frosting continues to beat.
- 5. For the frosting: Use the paddle attachment for your mixer. To the mixing bowl, add the softened butter and 4 oz. of pumpkin and beat until well combined. Next, add 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. ginger and 1/8 tsp. nutmeg and beat until combined. Next, add 24 oz. of powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk and beat on low until combined. Once there is no risk of dry powdered sugar flying out of the bowl, increase speed to medium or medium-high and beat for at least 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle and continue to beat for 10 minutes. Check to see if you like the consistency of the frosting or if you need to add more powdered sugar. Add more if you need it. There is no hard and fast rule here. If you are satisfied with the frosting at this stage, then use it. I personally beat my frosting for at least 30 minutes. In that 30 minutes I check the frosting and scrape the bowl and paddle about 3 times. I like my frosting to be lighter, and the extra time beating it helps to achieve this lightness.
- 6. Put the frosting on your cooled cupcakes. I use a 1M star tip with a pastry bag to get that bakery look. But if you prefer to use a butter knife or offset spatula, go for it! They still taste just as yummy!
- 7. If you would like, you can add a festive touch by topping the cupcake with a piece of candy corn or holiday sprinkles. Eat, share and enjoy!!
PUMPKIN CUPCAKES W/PUMPKIN MOUSSE FROSTING
This is a easy semi-homemade cupcake. I used my favorite seasonal pudding and replaced the oil with cinnamon apple sauce. Pudding is in the frosting too.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Sift together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
- Beat 1/2 cup of butter, the white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree after the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting by beating the cream cheese and 1/4 butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar a little at a time until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; beat until fluffy. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost with the cream cheese icing.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases. Beat the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the edges to combine. Gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Fold in the flour and pumpkin spice, followed by the milk, and combine until you have a smooth batter. Using a tablespoon, divide the mixture between the cupcake cases, around two-thirds full. Bake for 12-15 mins - they should be firm to the touch and slightly golden brown. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then lift them out gently onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the cream cheese icing. Using a stand mixer or electric whisk, beat the butter, icing sugar and pumpkin spice mix together until it turns smooth and pale, about 1-2 mins. Add the soft cheese and whisk for a further 3-4 mins until it thickens - it will turn runny and then thicken up again.
- You can either put the icing into a piping bag and pipe it in a circle on top of the cooled cupcakes, or spoon it on top of the cupcakes and swirl it with the back of a spoon. Dust with extra pumpkin spice, if you like.
