Pumpkin Brown Butter Cupcakes

Happy Monday everyone, it’s reveal day for the Secret Recipe Club! My assigned blog this month was Jess’s blog, Life’s Simple Measures.
I spent some time browsing through all her different recipes and finally settled on the Pumpkin Brown Butter Cupcakes. They sounded so good and I had a can of pumpkin in my pantry that was begging to be used.

My little guys ride the bus home from school and have gotten in trouble a few times recently over rowdy behavior. (Too loud, getting out of their seats, etc. I told the bus driver to separate them.) I have been having to check with the bus driver every day for a report. They both had been good every day this week so I decided to get out my mini cupcake maker and make these adorable (and tasty) mini cupcakes as a surprise after school snack.

I followed Jess’s recipe almost exactly except I didn’t make the Brown Butter Frosting. (I know, I know, that was an important part of this cupcake recipe, but I was running out of time and wanted the cupcakes finished and put away before the kids got home. Plus we were leaving for a camping trip that I hadn’t even begun to start packing for.) I had some cream cheese cool whip frosting in the freezer, so I just mixed in some pumpkin pie spice and used that, and of course finished them off with these cute fall sprinkles.
Yummy! I had some happy kids…

They look fantastic!
I LOVE browned butter! These look so yummy!
These sound delish, and your take on the frosting makes it a very simple finish! Sprinkles make anything extra special!
Cute little cuppys. I love minis. Just a biteful.
Brown butter is always a good idea. Especially in pumpkin cupcakes 😉
Happy SRC reveal fellow Group C SRC'er!
So glad to see you made these! I hope you like them as much I do!! Next time you'll have to try the brown butter frosting, it really sets these apart! Happy to bake with you!
These look great. A good way to celebrate Halloween next week.
These look and sound wonderful. Bet they did not last long at your house. Glad to be part of SRC group C with you.
Pumpkin butter is my life! So trying these this week 🙂
Well kids will be kids … and when they have such a treat to look forward to, it certainly is an incentive for good behaviour. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I'd be good on the buss too if I could come home to these =o) I love that they are mini too.
Look absolutely delicious!!
I love anything with browned butter! I have some pumpkin in the refrigerator too, I totally need to make these! Thanks!
