Ingredients

Servings

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned
  • cup milk
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

For the Cinnamon Buttercream:

  • ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

Step No.1: Preheat Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.

Step No.2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

Step No.3: Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. In another bowl, whisk oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin puree, and milk until smooth.

Step No.4: Combine and Add Chocolate Chips

  1. Slowly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.

Step No.5: Bake Cupcakes

  1. Divide batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling about ¾ full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step No.6: Cool Cupcakes

  1. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

Step No.7: Make Cinnamon Buttercream

  1. Beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, mixing well. Slowly add heavy cream until fluffy. Pipe or spread onto cooled cupcakes.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for a richer flavor, but canned works perfectly!
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the batter.
  • Storage: Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • No Chocolate Chips? Swap for chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Maple Buttercream: Replace cinnamon with 1 teaspoon maple syrup for a fall twist
