Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • For frosting:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Yellow and orange food coloring
  • Fall-themed sprinkles for decoration

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

Cover a small cupcake pan with paper liners

Put the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium-sized bowl and mix them together with a whisk

Melt the butter and add it to another bowl

Then add the sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree

Combine well

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until they are just mixed

You can add the mini chocolate chips if you want to

Fill up each mini cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Take it out of the oven and put it on a wire rack to cool down completely

In a bowl, beat the softened butter until it is smooth and creamy

Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract one cup at a time, and beat the mixture until it is smooth and fluffy

Separate the frosting into two parts

To make a gradient, color one part with orange food coloring and the other with yellow food coloring

Using a piping bag with a star tip, pipe swirls of colored frosting onto the cupcakes that have already cooled

Add fall-themed sprinkles that look like daisies to the top of each cupcake

Serve your tasty Fall Daisy Mini Cupcakes and enjoy them
