PUMPKIN PIE CUPCAKES

TO MAKE THE COCONUT CUPCAKES:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line cupcake pans with grease-proof papers.
2. Place the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
3. Add the coconut oil, and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles damp sand.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time.
5. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, and add the coconut milk, vanilla, and coconut extract.
6. Mix on low speed until incorporated, then turn the speed up to medium-high and beat for about 90 seconds to aerate the batter and develop the cake's structure.
7. Fill the cupcake papers about half-full and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed.
8. Cool completely, then use the tip of a sharp knife to cut a well in the center of each cupcake.
9. Fill the well with about a teaspoon of blackberry jam, then frost with cream cheese frosting.
