Delicious Pumpkin Nut Cupcakes Recipe

Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). It’s essential to ensure your oven reaches the right temperature before you bake for even cooking.

Prepare a cupcake tin by lining it with cupcake liners to avoid sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk these together until nicely blended. This mixture should be light and fluffy.

In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Ensure all your wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed, creating a smooth consistency.

Slowly incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.

Fold in the chopped walnuts with a spatula for added texture and flavor.

Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds of the way full. This allows space for the cupcakes to rise without overflowing.

Place the cupcake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, feel free to frost them with your favorite icing or enjoy them plain. These cupcakes are a delightful treat that everyone will love!
