Deliciously moist pumpkin cupcakes with a rich flavor.  These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes are made to taste just like Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. Made with pumpkin, coffee, and milk, these buttercream frosted cupcakes pack plenty of real flavor for every pumpkin lover!

Autumn is my favorite season. I find comfort in snuggling up with a blanket, and a good book while sipping on a hot latte with warm spices. I’ve created that same warm feeling into these pumpkin cupcakes.

Every fall, I patiently wait for Starbucks to come out with their Pumpkin Spice Latte. Once it hits the menu, it’s the unofficial start of the fall holiday season even if the temperature outside is much like summer weather.

Nothing beats warm coffee with pumpkin flavor and warm fall spices and that’s where the inspiration for this recipe came from.

Last week I bought a few pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks for the family and headed home to make my first batch of Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes. After thinking about Starbucks pumpkin spice latte ingredients, I put together this easy recipe. The first batch I made didn’t have much of a coffee flavor and paled in comparison to the Starbucks latte in my hand but I quickly got the recipe right and it’s perfect to share now.

I finally found a pumpkin patch near me after years of searching.  Having lived in the Midwest most of my life, pumpkin patches were everywhere. About 10 years ago, my dad started growing his own pumpkin patch on his land and I’ve always had an abundance of pumpkins for the season.

I can’t imagine life without pumpkins.  There is nothing like warm spices, sugar, and pumpkin cheer up a brisk autumn day!

If you can’t get outside to visit a pumpkin patch this season, then this Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcake recipe will suffice.  Just visit your local grocery store and pick up a can of pumpkin puree. There are times where it’s perfectly acceptable bake the whole season away and fall and winter my times!

These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes are full of pumpkin coffee flavor with cream, caramel sauce, warm spices, and buttercream spiced frosting.

If you love Starbucks Pumpkin Latte, then you’ll fall in love all over again with these pumpkin cupcakes!
