Difficulty

Ingredients

For cupcakes:
1/2 cup Earth Balance 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 soy milk

For frosting:
8 ounces Tofutti cream cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat Earth Balance 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 the dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture. Add soy 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 medium bowl, using a hand-held mixer, add(cold) Tofutti cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar; beating until smooth. Add food coloring if desired. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes prior to frosting cupcakes.

These were awesome! The kids licked the cupcake papers for crumbs ;p Did a total of 3 doz, 2 doz regular GF with butter & milk & reg cream cheese frosting. Followed the recipe subbing Hemp Milk for soy on the 3rd. The GFCF frosting looks strange & is very thin w/o refridgeration...

Great tasting! Great texture! Two very happy gluten-free, dairy-free kids. We also used egg replacer and you would not know these muffins were not the ”real thing”!
