Servings
Makes 12 cupcakes
Difficulty
Easy
Ingredients

For cupcakes:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups gf flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk

For frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar


Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Using a handheld mixer, beat butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin and vanilla; beat until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together gf flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt.

Stir half dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture. Add milk and stir until just blended. Add remaining dry ingredients; stir until just incorporated.

Spoon batter into 12 standard size muffin cups.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in muffin pans on racks for 5 minutes.

Remove cupcakes and let cool completely on wire racks.

Meanwhile, make cream cheese frosting. In a food processor add (cold) cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar together; pulse until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes prior to frosting cupcakes.

These were some of the best things I’ve ever baked. They were moist and flavorful. I used the GF Pantry French Bread flour as suggested, and they were far from grainy like most GF products. I also accidentally used 1/2 cup milk instead of a 1/4 cup and the results were perfect.

This was the first gluten-free dessert I’ve tried to make and it came out perfect and super moist. I added a little nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger to the cream cheese frosting and it was really good. I’ll be making these again.

I doubled this recipe to make a 3-tier cake with a simple powdered sugar glaze.
