Pumpkin Cupcakes

Easy pumpkin cupcakes that are perfect for halloween or just the Autumn season!

Only 2 days are left until Halloween and I’m very excited!! We will be carving our pumpkins tonight, and I was looking for ideas on the internet and there are sooo many creative ideas, I still can’t decide what am I gonna do with mine, what about you?

So what are you baking for Halloween? Have you seen my wicked witch finger cookies that I posted a couple of days ago? They’re awful! I mean, they taste really good but they’re so realistic and creepy, check them out and bake yourself a batch! My niece really enjoyed baking these with me, so you might want to bake these with the kids. It’s good fun! I also made some Halloween chocolate cupcakes and decorated them with white chocolate bones, they’re so fudgy and amazing. Oh yum!

I made these pumpkin cupcakes a couple of days ago and I’m very excited to share this recipe with you guys, they’re ultra soft, moist, and flavourful! But be careful you won’t be able to just eat one, they’re way too yummy!

I decorated my cupcakes with green sprinkles to make them look like pumpkins, do they look like pumpkins to you?
