I have yet another pumpkin recipe to share with you. Pumpkin is something you either love or hate and I LOVE everything pumpkin.
You should be starting to find the Pumpkin Puree in Aldi stores soon if it isn’t already there. This recipe can be made with ingredients you can find at Aldi, which makes it a budget friendly recipe. {Read why I love Aldi here.}
These cupcakes are healthier for you than your average cupcakes with the addition of the Pumpkin Puree. Pumpkin puree is high in vitamin A and has a significant amount of fiber.

Hello Briana,
Thanks so much for the recipe! It turned out great. The only switch I did was the flour and used rice flour since my son has wheat allergy. The frosting came out a bit watery more like icing however it was DELICIOUS. Loved it! I should have done half the amount because it’s just way too much for 22 cupcakes. That’s ok since I plan to do more pumpkin desserts in these coming weeks. I’ll keep the frosting in the fridge and hope it keeps well.
Take care!
Lillian
