Delicious, light and fluffy! These taste of Fall, and the crystallized ginger gives then a lovely little zing. Even people who don't like pumpkin love these cupcakes. These disappear as fast as I can set them out!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 x eggs
*
1 cup brown sugar
packed
*
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
room temperature
cup ginger
finely chopped and crystallized
*
¼ teaspoon cloves, ground
*
½ teaspoon allspice
ground
*
½ teaspoon ginger
ground
*
1 tablespoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3.4 ounce instant pudding mix, butterscotch
*
15 ounces pumpkin
puree

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350℉ (180℃) F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, and crystallized ginger in a bowl; set aside. Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla and pumpkin purée with the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
