Pumpkin pie is classic, but these cupcakes are to die for! They’re fun to make with the kids and they’re so moist and delicious. They literally melt in your mouth. That’s how good they are. Seriously, you need to make them this fall!

Whether you are looking for a Thanksgiving dessert or Halloween treat, this recipe is one for the books. Ultimately, it’s one of those recipes that I can guarantee people will be raving about. Anyone who tries a cupcake will be asking you how you did it.

On top of that, you’ll get this wonderful, rich aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg throughout your home. It really gives you that cozy feeling inside.

Gluten-free Pumpkin Cupcakes

I love fall baking, pumpkin, and the flavours and smells that follow. Although, some desserts can be a little over the top. They usually call for tons of sugar, flour, cream cheese, syrups, dairy, or other rich ingredients. Some of which are present in this recipe (don’t be mad at me). This recipe is definitely a treat.

It’s gluten-free because I use almond flour instead of white flour. I’ll admit, it’s not a ‘healthy snack’, but it’s lower in carbs and sugar because of the almond flour substitution. It’s a little bit lighter and better for you, if you ask me. Screw it. It’s okay to indulge once in a while right? Everything in moderation.

When baking comes to mind, it’s imperative to get the ingredients and measurements right on, otherwise recipes don’t turn out as expected.

These cupcakes turned out warm and soft and my daughters kept wanting more!

I made the baking instructions very straight forward and the baking time takes little to no time at all. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below.

Most of all, they’re fun to decorate! You can use any topping you like. Chocolate, caramel, walnuts, pecans, even cream cheese frosting – yes, go ahead. We used light whipped cream and sprinkles of fresh cinnamon. So good!

Originally, I had my oven timer set for 15 minutes. When baking, always stick a fork or toothpick into the cupcakes to tell if it’s cooked through. It’s a little trick that that ensures greatness every single time. If you see batter on the fork when you pull it out, it isn’t ready yet.

Depending on how much batter you scoop into your cupcake liners, the cooking time will be determined. If you fill them right to the top (like I did) you will probably need to bake them much longer. Remember to check them every 5-10 minutes. For me, the baking time was about 20-25 minutes per batch. If you fill them half way, bake them for about 15 minutes. All ovens are different. Be sure to check with a fork or toothpick for readiness.

I hope these pictures do this recipe justice. After all, there’s a very good reason why I end up making these cupcakes each and every year. First and foremost, I always get tons of compliments. Secondly, everyone simply loves them! And trust me, there’s never any left. Not ever. I mean, not even a crumb!

If you love pumpkin and pumpkin spiced goodness, you’ll love my Light Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe.

Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have gone by and the girls have changed so much, so very different in their own unique way, growing and blossoming faster than ever. All I had to do was blink and all of a sudden I have a 9 year old wiser than her years, an 8 year old who says it like it is, and an almost 2 year old who doesn’t miss a beat. 

“Let me love you a little more before you’re not little anymore.” This couldn’t be a more truer feeling for us moms raising older children.

I will never stop loving you. A mother gives and gives, loves and loves with no cap, no end, no limit. When life gets tough, always know that I will forever be here for you, loving you and supporting you every step of the way.
