Mini Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream


A long time ago someone passed onto me this two ingredient pumpkin bread. However, bread takes nearly an hour bake into a loaf. These cute lil guys came out of wanting something bite-sized and decadent - and fast!

 Two Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

1 box spice cake mix
1 can pumpkin

Mix together and fill greased mini muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Dump from pans (that's right, they should dump right out) and stand on rack to cool.

Maple Buttercream

1 stick butter (softened in the microwave 10 seconds)

3 cups powdered sugar
1-3 Tbs milk
1tsp maple extract

Beat butter and sugar together. Add extract. Keep beating,  adding milk by tablespoons until desired consistency. (I like mine pretty thick) I used a star-tip to decorate mine, though you could just as easily swirl yours on with an icing spreader.
