    How does pumpkin puree affect baking?

    Pumpkin puree is used in this recipe to make the cupcakes.
    While there are nutritional benefits to adding pumpkin, there are also culinary benefits.

    The pumpkin puree that is in this recipe adds both flavor and color the cupcakes. However, pumpkin puree also a low fat moisture that makes these cupcakes both moist and lower in fat.

    What makes a cupcake light and fluffy?

    Light and 'fluffy' or airy cupcakes make for a better treat as they are less chewy and more tasty. Using a fine or superfine almond flour rather than almond meal helps in this recipe.

    However, adding the baking powder and the baking soda introduces air to the cupcake batter. This helps to make the cupcakes more fluffy as a result.

    Here are some tips for making frosted pumpkin sugar free and keto cupcakes.

    This recipe is made with almond flour. When selecting an almond flour, use blanched almond flour and not almond meal for best results.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Measuring the almond flour accurately is important to this recipe. Adding too much almond flour can make these cupcakes too dry to enjoy.
    2. My cupcakes were made using granular erythritol. Feel free to substitute in another granular sugar alternative that can be baked with and also measures like erythritol.
    3. The frosting for these cupcakes is made with cream cheese and butter. For best results, make sure that these ingredients are softened to room temperature first.
    4. The frosting on my cupcakes was applied using a piping bag with tip. You can alternatively use a frosting knife to apply your frosting.

    How to store pumpkin cupcakes.

    These cupcakes should be stored in an airtight container. If properly stored and refrigerated, they should keep for up to five days.
