Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

11.08.11
Pin It PIN IT!

I apologize if I’m scarce this next week and a half. Our big event at work is next week and it’s GO GO GO time here! But, I promise I still love you. And I have some AMAZING, FAN-FREAKING TASTIC news to share, but I’ll hold off until after the event! I know, I’m such a tease 😉

How’s your Tuesday? It feels like Wednesday to me, but that’s probably because I have Friday off. Woo! Any big weekend plans friends? Well, I have plans for you. I know, how rude of me. But I promise you’ll LOVE me for these plans. I want you to make these pumpkin pie cupcakes.

Aren’t they so freakin’ cute? Well, they aren’t JUST cute either, friends. These little cakes are incredible. My favorite part?

The ooey, gooey center!! Each “cupcake” is basically a mini pumpkin pie! The flour and sugar in the batter form the crust around the pumpkin pie filling! I know, totally ingenius right? Plus, the top caves in when they are cooling which makes the perfect little spot for a big spoonful of whipped cream!

I know “cyber-bullying” is bad, but, I’m going to bully you now. You have GOT to make these. You’ll never look at a pie the same way again. Plus, portable pie with no need for fork or knife? Is there anything better?

Surprise your family with this unique Thanksgiving dessert or just hoard them to yourself and eat 5 in a sitting. Either way is fine by me! For the recipe, check out She Knows!

    These look absolutely fantastic. My favorite part of pumpkin pie is the filling anyway! Yum!

    These look so gooey and delicious! I would much prefer the flavor of pumpkin pie in things like cookies and cakes rather than the pie itself...these are right up my alley!

    Smaller desserts are always better!  They're so cute and so much easier to eat!
