Notes

If you don’t have pumpkin puree, you can easily substitute it with sweet potato puree.
For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk.
Don't forget to allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to ensure the frosting holds its shape.
Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for added presentation and flavor. Enjoy making this delicious fall treat!
