Williams Sonoma Pumpkin Dessert Squares Redux

Wonder what you can do with Pecan Pumpkin Butter and a yellow box cake?

 You may remember the bars I made a few years ago. (Please, please, please ignore my horrible photo!) This time, I decided to do something a bit more individual, Pumpkin Dessert "cupcakes."

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 Jar Muirhead Pumpkin Pecan Butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon of flour
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 3/4 cup of unsalted butter
  • 3 Tablespoons of milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

First, Reserve 1 cup of the cake mix and set aside

Second, mix remaining cake mix with 1/2 cup of melted butter and 1 egg. Divide the mixture evenly and press mixture lightly into the bottom of a each part of the muffin tin.




Mix 1 jar of Muirhead Pumpkin Pecan Butter with 2 large eggs 
and 3 tablespoons of milk and pour over cake mixture in pan.


                    


Mix reserved cake mix with 1 Tablespoon of flour, 1.4 cup of sugar, 
1/4 cup of soft butter and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Crumble over the top of the pumpkin layer.

Bake 20 minutes or until golden. (I rotate at 8 mins)



 Cool muffin tin and cooling rack and carefully remove. 


Yum.

i'm too cheap to buy the pumpkin butter, so i figured out how to make a substitute last year. it turned out great. i'll have to email it to you. love the idea of the cupcake version. those look amazing.

We always buy it at the end of the season when it's like 60% off. Please email me the substitute though! I'm sure readers would want to have it.

Miss you lizzy!

Great idea! Definitely going to try this. I have 2 jars in my pantry that are begging to be eaten.

Question though...I can't find where it says this...did you bake these at 350 degrees too? Thanks!

Good catch Becky- yes these will bake at 350 degrees as well. We've updated the post to show the oven temperature.

Happy Baking!
