These fun mini-sized treats literally taste like you’re biting into a slice of homemade pumpkin pie.

Mini Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

Much different than a typical pumpkin cupcake, these are really mini pumpkin pies. Hand-held, bite-sized, bitty pumpkin pies.

Ingredients or Variations

PUMPKIN What makes these cupcakes so rich & flavorful is the addition of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. The little cupcakes rise up during baking and then fall slightly when they cool into a pumpkin pie consistency.

TOPPING The best way to frost them is with homemade whipped cream or whipped topping.

VARIATIONS Why not sprinkle a little homemade granola or a handful of candied nuts for a great crunch.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

Pumpkin pie cupcakes are an easy treat that are ready to pop in the oven in just minutes!

PRO TIP: No candied nuts? No problem, toast nuts in a sauté pan for a few minutes and then let them cool. This makes them extra crunchy and really brings out their flavor!

  • Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl.

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

  • Fill cupcake tins evenly and bake according to the recipe below until cupcakes are set.

  • Let the cupcakes cool about 10 minutes in the pan. Remove and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

  • Top with whipped cream and serve.

Leftovers

  • Pumpkin pie cupcakes are very moist so the best way to store them is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Put a slice of bread inside the container to absorb excess moisture. They should keep about 3 days.
  • Pumpkin pie cupcakes can also be frozen (without the whipped cream topping.) They’ll keep well in a zippered bag with the date written on the outside, or in a sealed container. Add whipped cream just before serving.
