Pumpkin passion cupcakes
Pumpkin Passion Cupcakes are a staple in my house once the weather starts to cool down and the days get shorter. I love to make a batch of these and have them in the cupboard to satisfy any snacking requirements!
These cupcakes keep for a few days in an airtight container so it’s always a good idea to make a double batch!

Wasn't too sure if I'd like this cause I always have a hard time finding things to make that include pumpkin but don't have an awefully strong pumpkin taste but the orange and cinnamon really evened it out in this.
Very dry if you don't add any type of frosting or glaze and it crumbles too, the taste isn't bad but it needs a bit of work for sure.
Shortened down the amount of cinnamon and used vegetable oil instead of sunflower.
Wish I could rate it more than just 5 stars this deserves atleast a 10 it was super flavorful and delicious, I served it with some marshmellow fluff on the top and sprinkled some cinnamon on top too.
Thanks again for another brilliant recipe Lilly you never fail to amaze me with all your extrodnary meals.
I'm so inlove with the icing that I even added it to my baileys cake.
Its not too flavourful like i expected it to be actually i dont think its sweet at all it looks good and smells good but doesnt taste any different than an oridinary muffin from walmart.
Lemon zest is better than orange zest with this recipe.
Be VERY careful when adding the vanilla extract or your cupcakes will turn into a disaster trust me i would even suggest adding only 1/2 of a tsp if you're making 6 cupcakes only.
Fantastic recipe enjoyed every bite of it and so did my kids.
Mouthwatering dessert I served it to my love for our anniversary along with some white wine.
WOW if heaven could send cupcakes down to earth that were made by angels this would be it lol..
Didn't think I'd be able to make something this good since im new to baking but thanks to the easy steps i managed to do well :)
Completely avoided the sultanas and replaced them with dried crainberries it goes much better with pumpkin.
Bookmarking this website you guys legit have the best stuff out there.
Close your eyes and imagine the sweetest best pumpkin pie you've ever had now open them and make this recipe because that's exactly what this taste like but MORE because of the additional flavors and context added..
Very delightful little things, I added 1/2 of honey and 1/4 a cup of chocolate chips.
Almost taste like pumpkin pie but easier to make and way faster than making a fresh pumpkin pie too, loved it.
Mine sunk into itself..looks like a disaster what did I do wrong???
Wondeful passion pumpkin cupcakes not only creative but delicious and fluffy just like I was picturing them out to be.
Yummy-yummy! Thank you! Approved!
