These pumpkin cupcakes are absolutely delicious. The best part about this pumpkin cupcake recipe is that it uses boxed cake mix and only requires one bowl. But don’t worry these pumpkin cupcakes are certainly not lacking in flavor. Super moist and full of spices these pumpkin cupcakes won’t disappoint.
This pumpkin cupcake recipe is perfect for any holiday event. No one will believe they aren’t store brought. I’m always excited for the cold months to roll around so I can indulge in pumpkin flavored snacks and treats. The taste of pumpkin around the holidays always takes me back to my childhood; my mother would bake a pumpkin bread every year on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. I’ve never been one to break tradition, especially when it tastes so yummy.
For me, these pumpkin cupcakes check all the boxes: super moist, full of spices, covered and filled with cream cheese frosting (because everybody loves cream cheese frosting), and last but not least full of that pumpkin flavor that I’m obsessed with. And I almost forgot, they’re super easy to make! Now if your the type of person that loves a challenge check out my Pumpkin Muffin recipe that is completely made from scratch.
