Notes

TIP: Watch out when you are at the grocery store that you buy pure pumpkin purée and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
 
TIP: You will not want to use paper cupcake liners for this recipe as the cupcakes will stick to the liners just make sure to spray the cupcake pan really well with nonstick spray.
 
TIP: And don’t fret – these cupcakes deflate and sink down a little as they cool. That’s just how they’re supposed to be!
