I was recently asked to find a pumpkin cupcake recipe for the preschool classroom. I stumbled upon this recipe and got way to excited! I have never heard about these Fun Da- middle box cupcake mix, but I surely had to find out where I could find them! I found them at Target and decided tonight was the night to give them a whirl.
What I really liked about this recipe was the fact that they use pumpkin to give it some extra spice!
Ingredients
- 12 paper baking cups
- 1 box Fun Da-Middles yellow cupcake mix with creamy vanilla filling
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- maple syrup (optional)
- pecan pieces (for sprinkling)
Directions
 |
| Secret mixture! |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Line cupcake tin with paper baking cups and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together cupcake mix, water, canned pumpkin, eggs and pumpkin pie spice on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.

Fill each baking cup 1/3 of the way, making sure batter completely covers the bottom. Set remaining batter aside.

| Pumpkin cupcakes in paper liners |
Squeeze filling pouch 20 times, then cut off corner of pouch at cut line and divide filling equally among the cupcakes by squeezing a small amount in the center, making sure filling does not touch sides. Use all the filling.

| Mixture with a dollop of cream |
- Place a small dollop of maple syrup on top of the filling, if desired. Scoop the remaining batter evenly over the filled cupcakes, making sure the filling is completely covered. Top with pecan pieces and lightly press down into batter, if desired.
Bake according to package instructions (about 24 to 29 minutes). Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 20 minutes before eating or removing from pan.

| Warm pumpkin cupcakes with vanilla cream! |
These muffins were very yummy and different. Making the again, I would add a bit more pumpkin. Pairing this cupcake with a nice freshly brewed cup of coffee would be a great treat on a cool autumn night!
