- Baking powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Pumpkin puree: 1 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vegetable oil: 1/4 cup
- Pumpkin pie spice: 2 teaspoons
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Twinkie pan or muffin tin.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Step 3: In a separate large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat until well combined.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Fill each cavity of the prepared pan about 2/3 full.

Notes
- Store cooled Pumpkin Spice Twinkies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their soft texture.
- For a warm and cozy treat, microwave individual Twinkies for 5-10 seconds until slightly heated through, but be careful not to overheat them.
- Elevate your Pumpkin Spice Twinkies by dusting them with powdered sugar or drizzling with a simple maple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Chef's tip: Ensure your pumpkin puree isn't too watery; if it is, gently squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels to prevent a soggy final product.
