Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.
I found a way to cram a full ½ cup of pumpkin into just 4 cupcakes. It’s one of my gifts, I tell ya! Which reminds me, have you seen my Pumpkin Nutella Muffins yet? It feels like pumpkin spice is getting all the love this year, when really, chai lattes are just waiting for us all year to enjoy them. I love a good pumpkin spice latte for sure, but my everyday drink is a chai. While I can only wait for my favorite coffee shop to carry a pumpkin chai latte, I had to make cupcakes in the meantime! This is a small batch recipe for pumpkin chai cupcakes with a spiced buttercream. You can use any spices you like, or leave them all out and use vanilla instead. Whatever you want to frost your pumpkin cupcake with is up to you! If the only spice you have is cinnamon, that’s super yummy here, too.
How to decorate pumpkin chai cupcakes:
I used a Wilton star tip to make the little star frosting decorations, and it couldn’t have been easier! Even I am impressed with myself, hah! Other pumpkin desserts for two that I love include: pumpkin creme brulee, pumpkin whoopie pies, and my small pumpkin cake roll. If you’re looking for ways to incorporate pumpkin into breakfast, you have to check out my small batch pumpkin scones for two.
Okay, I’m leaving you in a pumpkin haze to enjoy the Fall weather! I hope you love these pumpkin chai cupcakes! Oh, since you might ask, YES you can double this recipe is you need more than a small batch of pumpkin cupcakes. These would be so great to share!
