Unsaved Pumpkin Cupcakes with Salted Cinnamon Buttercream

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Pumpkin baking mix
  • 2 tsp H-E-B Select Ingredients Double Acting Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Morton Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup H-E-B Brown Sugar
  • 3 Large h-E-B Large Grade AA Eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups H-E-B Select Ingredients Whole Milk
  • 2 oz Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 2 sticks Salted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1 tsp H-E-B Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup H-E-B Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 cups H-E-B Confectioners Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl combine pumpkin baking mix, baking powder, salt and sugar and whisk to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl beat eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla bean paste until it is well combined. Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk until batter is smooth.
  4. Prepare muffin trays by spraying each muffin cup with non-stick spray or adding paper cupcake inserts. Fill each muffin cup about halfway to the top with batter.
  5. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. While muffins are baking make the buttercream.
  6. In a stand mixer cream the salted butter, cinnamon, and heavy cream until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides as needed. Add powdered sugar in stages to avoid throwing it everywhere.
  7. Continue to beat frosting until all sugar is incorporated and frosting is airy. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow frosting to firm up slightly.
  8. Once cupcakes are cooled top with frosting and serve with a little flake salt on top of each if desired.
