- 1 ripe pear, 1/2-inch dice (1-1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice, divided
- 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup canned pureed pumpkin
- 1/3 cup agave nectar (may substitute 1/2 cup sugar)
- 3/8 cup milk, cold
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup roasted salted pumpkin seeds
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- zest from 1 orange
- Use a brush or paper towel to apply a generous coat of oil to each of the cavities on the upper and lower baking plates. Plug Treat Baker into a 120V AC electrical outlet to preheat.
- Prepare Cupcakes: Place chopped pears in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons orange juice and cover with a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 5 minutes. Use heatproof oven mitts to remove cooked pears. Mash with a fork and set aside to cool.
- Whisk flour, spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add cold milk, pumpkin, agave and pumpkin seeds to warm mashed pears. Break an egg into a small bowl and whip lightly; then add to pumpkin mixture. Whisk until well blended, then add to the well.
- Whisk until batter just combined. All the flour should be incorporated, but avoid over mixing. Batter should be thick and creamy, like pudding. Add milk to thin if needed.
- When the blue READY light illuminates, add 1 heaping tablespoon batter into each mini cupcake mold.
- Bake for 5 minutes until mini cupcakes are golden. Place hot cupcakes a wire cooling rack.
- Prepare Orange Cream Cheese Icing: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and orange extract; beat until fluffy.
- Frost cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese icing, sprinkle orange zest over the mini cupcake tops.
Simple, yet elegant. These lovely, crispy cupcakes are a party favorite.
