Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

Oh my goodness!! I can’t handle the cuteness!!

These mini pumpkin pie cupcakes might just be the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever seen…for any occasion! And yes, they taste as amazing as they look…promise!

Here’s the scoop…

We started with delicious pumpkin spice cupcakes, covered them with a mountain of homemade cinnamon buttercream frosting, and topped them off with miniature pumpkin pie slices.

These pumpkin pie cupcakes look fancy, but they’re actually pretty simple to make! Yes, they are from scratch, but it’s not a complicated recipe. And if I’m saying that, then anyone should be able to make them! (If you don’t know me that well yet, I’m a definite novice in the kitchen. My husband has all the culinary talent in our family!)

A printable copy of our pumpkin pie cupcakes recipe is available at the bottom of the post. Keep reading for photos and directions!

How to Make Easy Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

Our pumpkin pie cupcakes recipe includes directions for from-scratch pumpkin cupcakes and homemade cinnamon buttercream frosting.

If you want super easy pumpkin pie cupcakes, you could start with store-bought cupcakes and top with mini pumpkin pie slices. It doesn’t get any easier than that and they’re super cute!

Of course, it’s hard to beat made-from-scratch pumpkin cupcakes, so if you have the time, I’d say go for it!

Pumpkin Cupcakes Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Combine brown sugar, oil, eggs, maple extract and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl to use with an electric hand mixer.

Beat in the eggs until well mixed, then add the pumpkin puree.

In a separate mixing  bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing as you go. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk until everything is well combined.

Scoop batter into cupcake liners so that they are about two-thirds full. This will help ensure that the cupcakes have a flat surface and are easier to frost when they’re done.

Bake at 350°F for 18-21 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Frosting Directions

Combine all ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium speed. You can also use an electric hand mixer for this step.

Mix until frosting begins to form stiff peaks, then scoop into a frosting piping bag.

Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with a mini slice of pumpkin pie.

Made with real pumpkin and topped with a miniature slice of pumpkin pie, these pumpkin pie cupcakes are the cutest Thanksgiving dessert ever! And of course they're delicious too!

    I’m wondering, can I use real maple syrup instead of maple flavoring? These look so cute! Can’t wait to try them☺️
