Impossible Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

(original recipe found here)
I also made these for my boyfriend's family's finger food Thanksgiving dinner, and they were delish! I made some bigger and smaller ones, since it's nice to have a little one to just pop in your mouth (dangerous as well, though!!). They are best when served chilled and topped with some cool whip (I used sugar free).


Ingredients
2/3 cup all purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 15-oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup half and half (or evaporated milk)


Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and half and half until well combined. 
Add in dry ingredients and whisk until no streaks of flour remain and batter is smooth.

Fill each muffin cup with approximately 1/3 cup of batter.

Bake for 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes in pan. They will sink as they cool.
Chill cupcakes before serving. Top with lightly sweetened whipped cream.



Makes 12
