Pumpkin season doesn’t have to be over. Winter has only started, and it is a long, long time before it warms up. So I see no reason to not enjoy it a bit more….these muffins have coconut sugar, for an even deeper “warm” flavor. You can use brown sugar or even granulated sugar instead.
Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 400°, line a 12 count muffin tin with premium liners (such as Reynolds or Wilton easy release ones).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour though cloves.
In a smaller bowl, whisk the pumpkin, milk, oil, and molasses.
Pour wet into dry, whisk until blended. Divide between the liners.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until top looks set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool before frosting as desired.
