I love this time of year especially for the smells and tastes of fall. One of my most favorite things to do this time of year is spend as much time as possible in the kitchen…cooking and baking and sharing my love of it to those around me.
One of my most requested fall recipes are these cupcakes. I get asked for this recipe all the time. This is usually what I am asked to bring for holiday gatherings.  TO. DIE. FOR. Seriously! They are moist, flavorful, and ridiculously easy to make.
Go ahead and do yourself a favor and whip these puppies up…everyone will love you and you will love how quick and easy it was. Keep reading for the recipe.
What you will need to get started. So far so good…..
Take a minute to add some of your measured flour to the chocolate chips. Keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
Now go ahead and sift the rest of the dry ingredients and set aside. I know what you’re thinking “2-3 tsp of pumpkin pie spice? Isn’t that crazy talk?” Trust me, it works and it is awesome!
Start by mixing your sugar and oil.
Go ahead and add in the eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin.
Now here is the part where your house will start to smell heavenly.
Baked to moist, golden brown, deliciousness. The hard part is waiting for them to cool down.
You can certainly enjoy them as is, they make for a crazy good muffin. If you want to do it right, frost them with the worlds bestest cream cheese frosting. It will be the best decision you’ll make all day! I’ll leave a link for that below.
One of the best things about this recipe is that it makes enough to share! Go ahead and wrap them up cute and share the love.
