Method

01
Preheat your oven to 190 C / Gas 5. Grease your muffin tin, or line with paper muffin cases. Sift together the flour, the pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder and bicarb; set aside.
02
Beat 110g of butter, coconut sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in colour. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.
03
Stir in the milk and pumpkin puree after the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Add your chopped pecans and raisins at the last minute. Pour the cupcake mixture into the prepared muffin cases.
04
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Top with squirty cream, extra pecans and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!
