These are delicious! I made these following the recipe exactly. I will be making more for Thanksgiving and for tailgating the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

I have made this recipe twice in the past couple of weeks. They are very easy to make and tasty. I made mini-cupcakes and the recipe made 48 cupcakes. I followed the advice of other reviewers and used oil instead of butter and increased the spices to a rounded measuring spoon. Since I was using a mini-cupcake pan, they only took 13 minutes in my oven. They were delicious. I increased the frosting by 50% and piped it on so it was nice and thick. Plus, they looked really pretty. It is a great fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving recipe.

I doubled the amount of pumpkin and omitted the cloves and allspice. I also only used about half the amount of cinnamon in the frosting. Before they were frosted, they tasted like muffins. Once frosted, they tasted like cupcakes.

These were better then I thought. I'm not a real pumpkin person but these were really good. The flavors blended well. The pumpkin was not overwhelming. The icing was not so good. It was runny and way to much sugar. I think less of that would be much better.

I tried some modifications as well. I added a couple teaspoons of pumpkin seed oil to give it a seedy flavor, 1/4 cup of apple sauce and definitely change the baking temperature and time!!! That makes a whole difference: 350 degrees for no more than 19 min!!! It came out PERFECT!!! Thx!! These are mini cupcakes...

I use metric system, I don't know if something went wrong when I used AllRecipe's automatic converter, but I did not care for these cupcakes at all. (And I doubt it was the converter's fault, I've never had a problem with it so far.) I'm not a big fan of too-spicy food, and I saw other pumpkin spice cupcake recipes involved a lot less spice, so I didn't put cloves and allspice, and I made my own pumpkin puree that I always make instead of store-bought can, followed everything else. They still tasted WAY too spicy-salty like. The only good thing was frosting, that was okay. If you still decide to make these and try yourself, my best advice to you will be... make only 4-6 cupcakes and NOT try it when you have guests or something.
