HELLO! It’s Amber from Dessert Now, Dinner Later! I’m back with another holiday dessert idea, and let me tell you, put this on your “to make” list ASAP! The Nutella frosting alone, I could eat with a spoon, but paired with the pumpkin cupcakes – PERFECTION!

If there’s one thing I know about fall, it’s that EVERYONE goes mad over pumpkin!!! I can’t even count all the instagram posts I’ve seen dedicated to Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes and the first official day of fall was only 2 days ago! It’s that flavor the everyone looks forward to all year long, that’s for sure!
I brought these pumpkin cupcakes with me to a baby shower and the ladies just hovered over them! I even, accidentally, tipped them over in the car ride there, so they were all “ruined,” but they got scarfed up just the same! That means they must be good, right?!

I won’t even tell you how many of these pumpkin cupcakes I ate…. Make these, just trust me!
Can Cupcakes Be Baked Without the Paper Liners?
You can bake cupcakes and muffins without using the paper liners made for muffin tins.
Just be sure you spray the pan with non stick spray and let the cupcakes cool before removing from the pan.
Can Pumpkin Puree Be Frozen?
You can freeze pumpkin puree in air tight freezer containers or in heavy duty freezer bags.
Frozen pumpkin puree will last several months in the freezer.
Should Nutella Be Refrigerated After Opening?
Nutella should be stored in the pantry, at room temperature.
Make sure the lid is tight to keep the freshness.
If Nutella is refrigerated, it will become hard and impossible to use.
