Easy Pumpkin Cupcakes

They are unbelievably moist, full of pumpkin flavor, and paired beautifully with the most indulgent cinnamon cream cheese frosting.

The real reason these are on the top of our list is because they are incredibly simple. Toss all of the ingredients into a bowl, whisk with a hand mixer, and bake. Easy as 1-2-3.

WARNING – You will eat tons of the frosting before it makes it to the cupcakes. I’m not a big cream cheese fan but this is beyond amazing. The addition of cinnamon makes this smell divine. You’ll have to go in prepared to test your willpower because the second that sweet smell hits the air you will be tempted to dip into the bowl for a taste.

One bite will lead to spoonfuls making their way to your tummy. The same problem occurs with the cake itself. It is delish all on it’s own. We’ve even tossed in a handful of pecans or chocolate chips and nixed the frosting for a fun variation.

How to make pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners and set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a separate bowl combine the oil and both sugars. Whisk in the eggs, milk, and pumpkin. Fold in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.

Divide the batter between your prepared cups. Bake 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the cinnamon, vanilla and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
