These pumpkin cupcakes are a perfect choice for a Halloween party treat or fall dessert. The moist pumpkin cupcakes are perfectly spiced with a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and they get extra texture from chopped walnuts or pecans.
Top these cupcakes with fluffy caramel cream cheese frosting or a basic cream cheese frosting. Or top with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.
