1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Salt to taste
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, making sure there are no lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the cupcake tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, place the cupcakes on a wire rack to cool completely before adding icing.
Top with your favorite frosting or enjoy them plain.
