Halloween Cupcakes With Pumpkin

Cupcakes for the occasion of the Halloween Party. How do you spend Halloween? I'd say start with some cupcakes :-)

Halloween is just a week away, and because pumpkin is in high demand these days, I thought I might use it in a cupcake recipe, how about some Halloween pumpkin cupcakes?

This time, the muffins with baked pumpkin also contain cinnamon, and the dessert is delicious. I recommend these muffins, especially for the little ones.

I used a pumpkin for pie (attention: not from the round and yellow one, used for decorations), which I peeled and grated. I bought a 3 kg pumpkin, about half of which can be used for cooking, the other half being peeled.

For these cupcakes I used only 300g of pumpkin, so I have enough left for a future recipe, which I keep in the freezer.
