Instructions
Pumpkin Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Line a cupcake pan with liners and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add all the dry ingredients, whisk then set aside.
In a large bowl, add the sugars, vegetable oil, eggs, and pumpkin puree and whisk until completely combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fill the liners ¾ of the way.
Bake the cupcakes for about 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Don't overbake.
Let cool completely before frosting.
Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or beaters attachment, add the room temperature butter and the cold cream cheese and beat until completely incorporated and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Slowly add the powdered sugar, a cup at a time and beat on low, then gradually increase the speed. Add the salt and continue beating. Then last, add the maple syrup.
Increase the speed a little and beat the frosting until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Frost the cupcakes and enjoy.
