• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2-3 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C

You can line a muffin tin with cupcake liners

Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a medium-sized bowl with a whisk

Take a different large bowl and mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until everything is well mixed

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing them in with buttermilk every so often

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the buttermilk

Dont mix any further than that

Fill each cupcake liner about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

Its done when a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean after 18 to 20 minutes of baking

After baking, let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

Mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a different bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy

Change the amount of milk you use until you get the frosting consistency you want

You can use a piping bag or a spatula to frost the cupcakes with the peanut butter frosting once they are completely cool
