If there is one new dessert you try this Winter, please oh PLEASE, let it be this one! Moist and squishy pumpkin cupcakes loaded with fresh ginger, tangerine zest and cinnamon topped with luscious brown butter cream cheese frosting are sure to get you in the Thanksgiving spirit with or without friends and family to share them with. <\/p>\n

Brown butter and pumpkin (or any kind of squash for that matter) is one of those legendary pairings and when you layer the tangy goodness of real cream cheese and cozy sweet spices, you get a totally delicious outcome. <\/p>\n

This is also a kid friendly recipe. The cake itself is a two bowl deal. One for wet, the other for dry, the wet gets hand mixed into dry and voil\u00e0<\/em>! Cupcakes! I make my own pumpkin pack (of course) and so should you. It really isn’t time consuming or hard and the flavor is much better than anything you can get out of can. The cake is not overly sweet either \u2013 another bonus for caregivers who want to give kids a holiday treat without the inevitable sugar high come down \/ meltdown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

To make pumpkin pack simply quarter a Sugar Pie or Sweetie Pie pumpkin, scrape out seeds (but don’t worry too much about the stringy pumpkin guts) and roast the pumpkin wedges on a rimmed baking sheet with a 1\/4 cup of water for 20 minutes at 425\u02daF until soft. Allow to cool, remove the skin, then blend into a thick pur\u00e9e in the Vitaprep (try not to add any extra liquid). Pumpkin pack makes great soup, it’s a nice addition to homemade breads and biscuits, elevates pie to something truly special and gives cakes a moist crumb with the healthy benefit of vitamins and minerals. <\/p>\n

We had a lot of fun decorating these cupcakes with pumpkin candies and candy corn for funny looking turkeys. Since my kids are so young, this was just the right level of difficulty. Layla enjoyed the process and Hettie enjoyed eating the process! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Stay warm and healthy! I did say these cupcakes have fresh ginger in them, didn’t I? Ginger is loaded with antioxidants that help to prevent stress and might help fight diseases and promote healthy aging \u2013 so if you need an excuse to indulge, there ya have it! <\/p>\n
