Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray or use paper liners.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil, whisking until smooth.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Check with a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake; it should come out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using freshly grated nutmeg in place of some of the pumpkin pie spice.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results.
These cupcakes can be frosted with cream cheese icing for an extra special touch.
