Pumpkin Brownie Cupcake Recipe
These are not your regular fluffy, airy cupcakes, but rather rich and very flavorful. So I decided to use my all time favorite brownie recipe, tweaked it to make it a little more “cake” like. Then, I topped the brownie cupcakes with a pile of delicious, sweet, smooth and creamy buttercream frosting, because it’s just perfect.
The frosting has a few spoons of pumpkin puree to give it that fall flavor. In addition, I added a few drops of orange color gel to enhance the orange color that looks stunning in contrast with the dark brown brownies.
A dash of pumpkin spice was added to these pumpkin brownie cupcakes to create the perfect fall treat. The colorful sprinkles add a pop of color, and we know that sprinkles make everything better.
