These pumpkin cupcakes are the perfect blend of seasonal spices and sweetness. Perfectly spiced and topped with a creamy frosting.
Seems like we are always busy these days so here is a quick & easy recipe for Pumpkin Cupcakes!
After making a batch of my delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Granola I found myself with some extra pumpkin puree so I made these cupcakes.
Recipe Variation
Chocolate lovers can add a cup or so of chocolate chips to the batter before baking. I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate.
Since I love pumpkin chocolate flavor I decided to use chocolate frosting for these delicious cupcakes.
Feel free to use whatever flavor of frosting you want. A nice cream cheese frosting would pair really well with these pumpkin cupcakes.
