Fall is in the air and we are spending less time outside and more time inside prepping for our winter hibernation 😉 My 9 year old loves this time of the year… His birthday is near and one of his favorite desserts is pumpkin pie! I did a test run on these little cupcakes so I can make them for his party! (Last year he didn’t want a cake… he wanted pumpkin pie!!) I figured Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes might be a little funner than just plan pies! I found this recipe here… I did add a little bit more flour than what the recipe called for and a little nutmeg too… just the pumpkin spice wasn’t enough for me 🙂
These are a fun dessert to make up for the fall season if your planning on feeding more than just the family or if your are going to an event! I would suggest hitting them with a dabble of whipped cream… or sprinkle them with powdered sugar!
I will tell you this was my test run and I didn’t have a chance to dab them with whipped cream or sprinkle them with powdered sugar… Oh no… they were gone in less that an hour! Pretty sure the 9 year old sneaked 5 of them himself!! And then of course there is always the Husband… I pulled them out of the oven about 5 minutes before he pulled in the driveway!

Yum! I would throw some cool whip on these in a second:)
Stopping by from Grow Your Blog.
Mmm, these sound really good! I am always looking for a new pumpkin recipe.
Not sure I’d be into the flavour of this, but for a fall potluck these would be awesome to bring along to.
I love the snack-size nature of cupcake, Left to my own devices I might eat a rather large slice of cake!
These look sooo good! I wonder what they would taste like without the eggs… hmmm
These pumpkin pie cupcakes look AMAZING! I love how you went the extra mile and used the orange cupcake holders for a pumpkin effect <3

My friend brought over some pumpkin muffins recently with cool whip frosting on them, they are amazing!

I’m all about pumpkin everything right now. These would be so great for a potluck.
You had me at pumpkin pie. And cupcakes. Yum!
This is such a cute recipe! That always happens in my house – always the intention to make it look beautiful, but it never happens as they are demolished before they have a chance to cool!

Another pumpkin recipe. I’m loving these since pumpkins are the rage this season. Will be trying to make these.
My boyfriend is pumpkin obsessed. I’ll have to try to make these!
These look incredibly delicious! I’m all about the pumpkin baking right now! I’ve made pumpkin pie bars, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread….
These look so dense and delicious! But where is the frosting?! That’s the best part. 🙂
