We are enjoying all things pumpkin from breads, muffins, cakes, cookies, and butter! Pumpkin butter is a favorite fall spread in our house and we spread it on crackers, breads, anything we can find. When we can’t find something to spread it on we scoop some out on a spoon and eat it straight up, that’s pumpkin love! I was creating in the kitchen and decided to find out what pumpkin butter would taste like when swirled in a cupcake! Turns out it’s amazing and the cream cheese frosting on top makes this pumpkin butter cupcake a fall sweet treat!
These pumpkin butter cupcakes are a moist yellow cake mix swirled with sweet pumpkin butter and topped with creamy cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with pumpkin pie seasoning. I had to hide them from my family for fear they would eat all of them in one sitting!
