Yield: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
For the cupcakes
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 oz unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin
  • ¾ tsp vanilla
For the maple cinnamon glaze
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • sea salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. For the cupcakes, heat oven to 350F. Line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, combining well after each addition. Mix in the pumpkin and vanilla.
  4. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling them ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow cupcakes to cool in the tins for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool.
  7. Once cupcakes are completely cool, make glaze. In a bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cinnamon. Add more milk as necessary to reach desired consistency. Dip cupcake tops in the glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt.
