Cupcakes that taste like fall but are not so sweet you want to fall off the wagon!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CUPCAKES:
  • ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • ½ cups Canola Oil
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ cans (15 Oz. Size) Pumpkin
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 8 ounces, weight Neufchatel Cheese
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350F and grease your cupcake tins or drop in some cupcake liners.

In a bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.

In another bowl, stir together the canola oil, egg, pumpkin, syrup, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Spoon batter into prepared cupcake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely before icing.

To make frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla together until thick and smooth. Transfer icing into a pastry bag with a tip or a plastic bag with the tip cut off. Frost cupcakes and store in the refrigerator until serving.

These cupcakes were a big hit. The only thing I would change would be the flour – the wheat flour gave them a little bit of a weird texture. I think I would have preferred white flour, though I’m not a baker and am not sure if that would change the texture overall even more. Overall, though – very good!
