Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
| 3/4 tsp | Ground nutmeg |
| 2 tsp | Ground cinnamon |
| 1 3/4 cups | Solid pack pumpkin |
| 1 1/2 cups | Brown sugar |
| 4 | Eggs |
| 1/2 cup | Oil |
| 2 cups | Chopped walnuts |
| 2 cups | Butterscotch morsels/chips |
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Line or grease 24 muffin cups.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside for now.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, beat together the solid pack pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, and oil. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Combine Wet and Dry:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay!
- Fold in Goodies:
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped walnuts and 1 cup of butterscotch morsels/chips into the batter. This will add delightful texture and flavor!
- Fill Muffin Cups:
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of batter into each of the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 of the way full.
- Top with Goodness:
- Mix the remaining chopped walnuts and butterscotch morsels/chips together. Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of this nutty, sweet mixture. This will create a deliciously crunchy top!
- Bake to Perfection:
- Place the filled muffin cups in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Indulge:
- These A+ Super Delicious Cupcakes are best enjoyed when completely cooled. Share them with friends and family, or simply savor them as a delightful treat for yourself!
