These pumpkin walnut mini cakes are the perfect fall recipe!The pumpkin walnut mini cakes in a square individual baking pan.

Yeah yeah, I know. Another pumpkin recipe. How original. But please, just try this one. Once, that’s all I’m asking. These pumpkin walnut mini cakes are easy and delicious, plus you can even call this a breakfast food (even though it’s technically cake).

Little square pumpkin cakes on a white plate.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 can 15oz pumpkin
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup margarine
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

All the pumpkin walnut cake ingredients sitting on the counter.

DIRECTIONS:
Mix margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in pumpkin and eggs.

Spooning the canned pumpkin into a mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon sugar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Slowing beat into pumpkin mixture.

Combining the dry flour ingredients into the wet pumpkin ingredients.

Next add chopped walnuts and stir together with large spoon.

Woman adding the chopped walnuts to the batter.

I spread the mixture into my greased Pampered Chef brownie pan (love this thing!). If you don’t have one you can easily do nonstick cupcake pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Super easy to make and they are DELICIOUS!! I love the individual pumpkin cakes because they’re easy to grab for breakfast. Yes, we ate these cakes for breakfast. Don’t judge.

And if you’re wanting more of a dessert option, add a sweet glaze that you can drizzle over the top of the pumpkin walnut mini cakes.

GLAZE:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp light syrup
  • 1 tbsp water

This is the same glaze from my cherry coffee cake recipe.
Another fabulous “breakfast” option. Again, we don’t judge here.
This is a safe place.

    Eggs are not listed as an ingredient in the Pumpkin Walnut Mini-cakes, yet they are supposed to be added with the pumpkin. Should there be eggs? If so, how many? Thanks!
