Here in Maryland it is quite rare to get more than a flurry of snow before Christmas. But when it does snow and the kids are off school there is nothing better than baking and drinking hot chocolate. One of my favorite go to recipes for the kids and the adults is Pumpkin Cupcakes.
I can assure you this is the easiest recipe you will ever follow. This recipe is cheap, easy and delicious and most of all picky eater approved. So here it goes......
Pumpkin Cupcakes
Ingredients
- One box of Spice Cake Mix (or any other cake mix you like yellow works well, or carrot)
- One 16 oz can of Pumpkin Puree
- Raisins
- Walnuts (or any other nuts you and your family like)
- Cream Cheese Icing homemade or store bought (icing is optional, the cupcakes come out more like muffins so if you don't want to ice them...don't)
Directions
- Preheat oven to the temperature on the cake mix directions
- Mix cake mix and pumpkin puree
- Add in any extra's you might want (raisins, nuts, dried fruit)
- Mix together
- Fill a cupcake tin with foil cupcake liners (the little paper inserts can be used for art projects for the kids I will be posting a winter snowflake project made with them later)
- Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven
- Let cool, and either enjoy plain as we do, or ice them for a special treat!
