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!

To make Pumpkin Passion Cupcakes you will need the following ingredients:

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.

Diya Matejek

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.

Shannon Crosta

Shortened down the amount of cinnamon and used vegetable oil instead of sunflower.

Journi Mahlke

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.

Kinslee Wallenberg

Thanks again for another brilliant recipe Lilly you never fail to amaze me with all your extrodnary meals.

Mariella Eckrote

I'm so inlove with the icing that I even added it to my baileys cake.

Aubriella Biekert

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.

Milani Gefre

Lemon zest is better than orange zest with this recipe.

Devyn Fedigan

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.

Haleigh Vellanki

Fantastic recipe enjoyed every bite of it and so did my kids.

Aryana Gicker

Mouthwatering dessert I served it to my love for our anniversary along with some white wine.

Raquel Strittmater

WOW if heaven could send cupcakes down to earth that were made by angels this would be it lol..

Keila Mabary

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 :)

Celia Strommen

Completely avoided the sultanas and replaced them with dried crainberries it goes much better with pumpkin.

Whitley Mcraney

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..

Kaylynn Dimit

Very delightful little things, I added 1/2 of honey and 1/4 a cup of chocolate chips.

Gretchen Takaki

Almost taste like pumpkin pie but easier to make and way faster than making a fresh pumpkin pie too, loved it.
