tips for making pumpkin cupcakes:
Do i still need to add eggs, oil and water?
No! That’s a great part about this recipe. The pumpkin replaces the eggs, oil and water for an easy recipe. Pumpkin is a great healthy substitute for eggs and oil in any baking recipe, you won’t even notice the cupcakes are missing those items.
can i make this recipe as a cake instead?
Of course. This recipe works great as a cake. Instead of cupcake liners and a cupcake pan, just grease and flour a baking pan and bake for the recommended pan type on the back of the cake mix box.
Do i have to use canned frosting for pumpkin cupcakes?
Nope! I know how yummy homemade frosting is. If you have a special recipe you love, go ahead and make it to use instead, then top it off with a little pumpkin pie spice.
