What are pumpkin pie cupcakes?
In this case, the word 'cupcake' isn’t being used figuratively to describe the size of these bite-sized desserts because they really are just like any other cupcakes. They’re just filled with a hearty helping of pumpkin instead of some of the other liquid flavorings that you would normally add to baked goods. You can make them with small cupcake liners, or bare in the pan. However, we do recommend sticking to smaller portions because larger muffins won’t cook as well, with such a dense batter.

Now pour in all of the dry ingredients and spices into the mixture and then use the electric mixer on low to blend the ingredients until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the batter into a large measuring cup for easy pouring.
Line the cupcake tin with the paper liners.
Fill each cupcake liner approximately 1/3 f the way with batter.
Bake the pumpkin pie cupcakes in the oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick pierced through the center of one comes out clean.

Storage
These pumpkin pie cupcakes are super moist, but if you want them to stay that way, you’ll need to keep them stored away in an airtight container in the fridge. These mini cakes can last for up to seven days, but if you need to make large batches in advance for an event, they can freeze for up to three months long and still come out tasting just as fresh as the day you made them.
