Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
3 large eggs
1 cup extra light olive oil
15 oz pumpkin puree
12 oz cream cheese
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease two 12-cup muffin pans with cooking oil.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk the eggs, olive oil, and pumpkin puree in another bowl, then stir them into the dry mixture.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cupcakes for 10 minutes in the pans, then cool them completely on a rack.
Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth, then frost the cooled cupcakes.
