Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix together pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour mixture in two additions, beating at low speed just until incorporated. Pour into cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes.
