Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (like Splenda or Stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.25 cup Low-fat or non-fat milk
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and the large egg. Mix well until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Slowly add the milk to the batter, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cupcakes as they are, or top with a dollop of light whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added flair (optional).
