Pumpkin Cupcakes | Recipe



Hello everyone!!!
 
Today I wanted to share one of my favourite Autumn recipes with you! Every year, when the pumpkins come out in the shops, I make pumpkin cupcakes. It’s become a bit of a tradition of mine!

You will need:
90g Soft brown sugar
90ml coconut oil (vegetable oil will also work)
2 eggs
115g grated/blended fresh pumpkin
½ tsp lemon juice
115g self-raising flour (I’m wheat free so I used wheat free flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon



You will also need cupcake cases, a cake tray, an oven, bowls, spoons, so on.

The first step is to prepare your pumpkin. You can either grate it with a fine grater or blend it in a nutribullet type blender. If you are grating the pumpkin it can be quite time consuming so make sure you plan enough time.

Next put the sugar, oil, and eggs into a bowl and beat together. If you are using coconut oil you will need to melt it first, put a few spoonful’s into a microwavable bowl and microwave for 10 seconds at a time until melted.


Then you need to fold in the pumpkin you prepared earlier and the lemon juice.


Add the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and mix thoroughly.



Spoon the mixture into cake cases and bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.


Cool the cakes and if you feel like it you can ice them with frosting or buttercream. 


I hope you enjoy baking these cakes and I will posting more recipes soon!!

See you soon!
