2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cupcakes
I love baking. A night spent in the kitchen, particularly with friends, is a night well spent.
Monday night, I went over to Conor’s house, to bake a bunch of goodies for a bake sale at work, to benefit the Richmond Food Bank. Baking for a cause? Heck yes.
Since we were trying to make tons of goodies, I kept my recipes super simple. First, I whipped up a batch of vegan chocolate pumpkin cupcakes, with some pumpkin spice frosting.
Wait, you know the pumpkin trick, right?
Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes
- Â Â 1 16 oz can pumpkin puree
- Â Â 1 box devils food cake mix
Mix the two together, and drop 1/4 cup batter into cupcake liners, and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. For reals. That’s a thing.
Then I made some frosting, and sadly, I can’t share the recipe, because I kind of just made it up as I went. It was lots of powdered sugar, some canned pumpkin, a little vegan margarine, and a lot of pumpkin spice. Blended to perfection. Basically. But you could always just add a few tablespoons of pumpkin, and some pumpkin spice to a can of vanilla frosting. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. Or you could use this coconut frosting. Why not, right?
After that, I whipped up some gluten-free peanut butter cookies, because they’re so easy.
We might have made a bit of a mess. It happens. And it’s so worth it. Now I need to go pick a recipe to make for Thanksgiving!
Know and LOVE the pumpkin trick!
Love these! 🙂
I’ve made these once! Only in cookie form haha I’m hoping to bake some oatmeal cookies tonight 🙂
Yum!! I love oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips!
I love the pumpkin and devil’s food cake combo. It always turns out so well! Also works great with angel food mix!
I’ve heard it’s good with spice cake mix too!!
I haven’t baked for ages, so need to change that!
I’m getting nutty in the kitchen tonight. A variation on cheesecake and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. BAM. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks pretty awesome to me!
Yep I know that 2 pumpkin ingredient trick! I tried it last year and didn’t work so great in bundt cake form. It mainly just came out small and not great tasting – just sorta plain. Maybe I didn’t use the right cake mix flavor or something.
I feel like it works better as cookies or cupcakes! I had trouble getting it to bake all the way through when I did it as a cake!
Only TWO ingredients? You’re kidding! Thanks for posting!
I’ve made cupcakes like that with Spiced Cake mix … omg so good. I can’t wait to try it with chocolate!
I definitely need to try it with spice cake mix!!
