🎃 Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes (Gluten Free)

These cupcakes are seriously better than pumpkin pie — especially if what you love is the filling!

🧁 Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée (We love Libby's Brand!)

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose gluten free flour (like Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1)

  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prep your muffin tin with:

    • Silicone liners

    • OR foil liners sprayed with cooking spray

    • OR simply spray the cups directly with cooking spray

    (Avoid paper liners — they stick!)

  3. Mix wet ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, combine:

    • Pumpkin purée

    • Sugar & brown sugar

    • Eggs

    • Vanilla extract

    • Evaporated milk

  4. Add dry ingredients:

    • Add flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture.

    • Stir until well combined.

  5. Fill muffin cups:

    • Use about 1/3 cup of batter per muffin.

  6. Bake for 20 minutes.

  7. Cool completely:

    • Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove them.

    • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the texture.

  8. Top and serve:

    • Just before serving, add whipped cream and sprinkle a dash of pumpkin pie spice on top.
