Cinnamon Cupcakes With Pumpkin Pie Frosting

Have I mentioned how much I love Fall? I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it one or two...or a thousand times. So, it should be no shock to you that I found a way to put my love for Fall into a cupcake form! These are really easy to make and taste like a slice of Thanksgiving in your mouth!

Cupcakes
1 box french vanilla cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Frosting
1 16oz container buttercream frosting
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine cake mix, water, oil, eggs and cinnamon. Fill each lined cupcake tin 2/3 full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. While the cupcakes are baking combine buttercream, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch using a hand mixer on medium speed until well combined. If frosting is too thin, add more cornstarch. Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

  14. These cupcakes were incredible. And perfect for autumn.
    Unfortunately, I wasn't overly fond of the icing. I ended up making a batch of cream cheese icing, and mixing it with the pumpkin pie icing. It was amazing.

  15. Do you mean pumpkin pie puree? Or what do you mean by "pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)"?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. There are cans of pumpkin pie mix which contain all of the spices and then there is pure pumkpin puree which is just plain pumpkin. This recipe uses the plain pumpkin puree :)

  16. Do you have to use cornstarch in the icing? I never have any at home, and I don't use it for anything else.

    1. Yes, it is needed to thicken the icing.

  19. My frosting was way to thin.. and I even tried to add more cornstarch.. :( Now I'm sad.

    1. It is a very thin frosting, cornstarch should do the trick, but if not you can add a little more buttercream.

  20. Hi there, I was wondering when you mentioned the pumpkin are you saying that we take a whole pumpkin and we boil the pumpkin and we puree it on our own? B/c the only pumpkin I know is the pumpkin puree that I make the pumpkin pies from. Please let me know.

    1. Oh no! There is a small canned pumpkin puree you can buy at the grocery store :)

  21. I have a question, when you write, 1/2 cup pumpkin, is that something I can buy in a can or I have to buy a pumpkin and use that? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but this is one of my first baking experiences and these seemed easy enough and delicious enough to try

    1. There are no dumb questions :)

      You can buy a can of pumpkin puree at pretty much any grocery store. It is in the baking section. Be sure to buy pure pumpkin puree and not the can labeled pumpkin pie mix.

      Happy baking!

  22. So I made these... Can I use cream cheese frosting next time... I think my tongue would enjoy that. Or does it have to be the buttercream??? Consistency issues???

    1. Not a huge fan of pumpkin, but was pretty good. I only used 1/4 c pumpkin though. The pumpkin taste was still a little strong for me, but for a pumpkin lover would be perfect! I also sprinkled a little brown sugar on it, yummy! Love the cinnamon cupcake! :)

  27. I really love the concept, but will have to search around for a different cupcake recipe as I plan on making it from scratch. I saw this on pinterest and went with the idea before actually reading the recipe and bought all the things I would need to make everything from scratch, including the sugar pumpkin!

  31. What an awesome recipe! I followed the recipe to a t, except for the frosting. I made it according to the recipe, except I used cream cheese icing because they were out of butter cream at the store. The icing wad pretty thin, so I added about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and it was phenomenal!! Thanks again!!

  37. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
