Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tins with paper liners.

In a medium bowl combine flour, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl beat the oil, sugar, eggs and pumpkin puree together with a hand blender to mix. Next, add the dry ingredients and continue to blend well, about a minute more.

Pour batter into lined muffin tins about 2/3 full then bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before frosting.
