How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe suggestion below or use store bought).
  10. Garnish with gingersnap crumbs, candied pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of elegance.
  11. Enjoy your delicious and impressive Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes!
