Pumpkin Pecan Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Fall has finally arrived here in the California desert. At least that’s how it feels in the evening and first thing in the morning. It’s still hot during the day but this weather change is one I look forward to every year. So thankful for the cooler weather. One of the things I love the most is waking up and sitting on the porch with a delicious cup of coffee and enjoying the cool, crisp, fall mornings and enjoying some delicious pumpkin pecan cupcakes with cream cheese frosting that taste amazing.

Pumpkin Pecan Cupcakes

Who doesn’t LOVE cupcakes? And who doesn’t LOVE cream cheese frosting? Well, if you are like me, you are going to LOVE these pumpkin pecan cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Each cupcake is loaded with pecans and delicious pumpkin flavor, topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting with a hint of pumpkin pie spice. Can you say YUM? Double yum!

Pumpkin Pecan Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

These pumpkin pecan cupcakes are great even without frosting. So moist. I’m just such a lover of frosting, especially butter cream, that I cannot eat a cupcake or a piece of cake without it. Well, I can, but won’t. Sinking your teeth into a deliciously tasting frosting is the absolute best.

Cupcakes are great to make to share with family and friends. I usually take recipes I make to work come Monday morning, but not these. They won’t make it for my co-workers this time. They were gobbled down by family immediately.

This recipe comes from my Pumpkin Pecan Cake that I made a while back. I was in the mood for some delicious cupcakes and decided that it was a pumpkin kind of day.
