Brown Butter Pumpkin Cupcakes

November 4, 2019 by Grace 2 Comments

Brown butter pumpkin cupcakes made with a decadent cream cheese frosting, moist, with a nutty aromatic fall flavor these cupcakes bring out the autumn in all of us.

Now that spooky season is over, it is time to pull out the pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice, pumpkin butter, and these brown butter pumpkin cupcakes. I know that we have already had two pumpkin recipes this fall including these pumpkin harvest muffins and these chocolate pumpkin cupcakes, but there still might be one or two more pumpkin recipes in the works.

I really love the flavors that are associated with fall, cinnamon, squash, sweet potato, apples, and pumpkin are some of my favorite flavors if you don’t include chocolate.

Even though fall is pretty much over in Minnesota, (November is basically winter in my opinion.) It is nice that we still get to enjoy pretend it’s fall for the next month before winter officially sets in.

When I started making these cupcakes, I knew I wanted the nutty flavor of brown butter. Browned butter adds a rich flavor that elevates just about any dessert. It’s super easy to make and so worth it.

These cupcakes are super moist, the addition of pumpkin ensures it. Whenever you make a recipe with pureed pumpkin, it should always be moist. Always. If not, something is wrong.

How to Make Brown Butter

Some people are really intimidated by making brown butter but it is actually very easy to make. All you need to do is place some butter in a saucepan, and heat it over medium heat while stirring consistently until it is an amber color. That’s it!

One thing that you should keep in mind when you are making brown butter is that you need to stir, stir, stir once it starts bubbling. If you don’t stir the butter constantly the milk solids will stick to the bottom of the saucepan and cause the brown butter to burn.

When you make these cupcakes, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram so that I can see what you’re baking! Also, remember to save this recipe to Pinterest so that you can find it again later.
