Pumpkin Cupin Recipe

This is a Pinterest inspired recipe. I was in the mood for something pumpkin but didn't have everything some of the cupcake recipes required so I decided to make my own with what I had. This recipe will come out very moist and will have a tendency to fall apart, but the flavors and texture are worth it. Now, you are probably wondering about the word "cupin" but it is very simple. This is a combination of cupcake and muffin recipes so therefore my sister combined the words and made this and I thought it was appropriate. These are not so sweet that they can't be called muffins, but they are also fancy enough to be called a cupcake.

This recipe makes 36 muffins

 

Cupin Ingredients

4 eggs

2 1/2 cups of sugar

2 cups vegetable oil

1 29oz. can of Libby's Pumpkin

4 cups of whole wheat flour (this is what I used)

1 tbs. baking powder

1 tbs. baking soda

1 tbs. nutmeg

2 tbs. cinnamon (heaping spoonfuls!)

 

Cupin Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl combine eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until everything is blended well then add the pumpkin and mix again.

3. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and stir well.

5. In a greased muffin tin place 1/4 cup of the mixture in each cup. Top with 1 teaspoon of crumb topping.

6. Bake in oven for 20 minutes. If they are still not cooked all the way after 20 minutes add another 6-7 minutes.

7. Once the cupins have cooled a few minutes drizzle them and then serve.

Crumb Topping

1 stick of butter

4 tbs. sugar

6 shakes of cinnamon

1 cup of flour

 

Crumb Directions

Microwave butter in a microwave safe bowl until it is completely melted. Add the sugar, cinnamon and flour and stir with a fork. It should form a crumb like texture.

Drizzle

2/3 cup of powdered sugar

1 tbs. milk

 

Drizzle Directions

In a small bowl mix both ingredients until there are no lumps in it. Set aside until cupins are out of the oven and ready to be drizzled.
