VIDEO TUTORIAL WITH KIWI AND CARROT
Recipe #1: Pumpkin Cupcakes with Nutmeg Buttercream Frosting
Yield:12-14 cupcakes
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 17 minutes
Total Time: 47 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Cupcakes
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
½ cup butter at room temperature
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk for stuffing, optional
Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin with butter or line with cupcake liners and set aside.
Cupcakes
- In a large bowl, (or mixing bowl of a KitchenAid stand mixer) mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Add the brown sugar and eggs, and mix together until combined. Add in the pumpkin, butter, yogurt and vanilla and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- If stuffing with sweetened condensed milk, stick a chopstick or end of a small wooden spoon handle into each cupcake to create a small hole. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk inside each one (piping it in with a frosting bag and tip can make it a little easier).
- Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- In the KitchenAid bowl, beat the butter, vanilla, milk and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. (See notes)
- With the mixer on low, slowly add in the powdered sugar, then the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Increase the speed and beat on high speed for 1 minute. Add additional powdered sugar or milk if needed for the right consistency.
Assemble the cupcakes
- Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Notes
*If you prefer your frosting to be not as sweet, replace the sweetened condensed milk with 1 Tbsp. of regular milk.
Recipe #2: Pumpkin Pancakes with Vanilla Nutmeg Syrup
Yield:About 16 medium-sized pancakes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Pancakes
3 eggs
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water
Syrup
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg (if you prefer a strong nutmeg flavor, use 1/2 tsp.)
Water (to consistency)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, brown sugar and coconut oil together. Add the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, vanilla and pumpkin puree and whisk until combined.
- Add the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined. Gently stir in the water. (It’s supposed to be a thick batter, so only add 1/4 cup water). Do not overmix! It’s OK if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Set the batter aside.
- Make the syrup. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter on medium-high heat. Add the sugar and evaporated milk, and stir until combined. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring continually.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla, nutmeg and 2 Tbsp. water. Allow to cool. The syrup will thicken substantially. If it’s too thick, add more water until you achieve desired consistency. (If the water won’t mix in easily, warm the syrup over the stove while you mix the water in).
- Cook the pancakes. Heat a griddle on medium heat, (350 degrees) and grease with some butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and spread until even. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Top with homemade vanilla nutmeg syrup and your favorite toppings. I highly recommend bananas, cinnamon and pecans!
