Nothing says autumn like pumpking spice cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting, although technically, these can be served any time of the year, thanks to the radical (said semi-sarcastically) invention of canned pumpkin. Combine said pumpking with a whole fleet of spices, including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and a dash of maple syrup, along with standard cupcake ingredients. After baking, top these beauties with homemade maple cream cheese frosting. Yum.

Monkey Bread Cupcakes with Banana and Chocolate
Monkey bread is sticky, gooey, covers in cinnamon and sugar and just plain tasty. These monkey bread cupcakes take that idea and spin it a bit. The dough is rolled into a ball around some banana slices and chocolate bits, before dunked in melted butter and cinnamon and sugar. Each ball then goes into a cupcake liner (although it’s more fun to squeeze two into one liner to evoke the real thing) and baked before being coated in a sugar-y, cinnamon-y glaze.

Rolo Cupcakes
Caramel, chocolate and vanilla go together very well, especially when they are in the form of these Rolo cupcakes. The chocolate cupcake batter contains a secret ingredient: a frozen Rolo shoved into the middle. The batter also has chocolate pudding, which makes these into a very moist, flavorful treat. Each cupcake is topped with homemade vanilla and caramel buttercream, and before chocolate ganache is drizzled over it. Add on another Rolo, just for kicks, and serve!

Black Bottom Cupcakes
It’s true: chocolate and cheesecake almost go together better than chocolate and peanut butter do. And nothing proves this theory better than these black bottom cupcakes. All that they are is a chocolate cupcake mix with cheesecake (chock full of chocolate bits) inside of and on top of them. Hence the name — the chocolate is on the bottom. The results are what look like cheesecake cupcakes, until you open the liner and bite into one. So tasty that they don’t even need frosting!

Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes
No one ever said that cupcakes had to be sweet. They can also be savory and served for dinner, instead of for dessert. These buffalo chicken cupcakes fall into that category. Made from pizza dough, boneless chicken, onions, butter, mozzarella cheese and buffalo sauce, they make great hand-held appetizers, or even a whole meal, if you’d prefer. Simply brown the chicken and onions, roll up in the pizza dough, add cheese and bake. Serve with a side of buffalo sauce – or blue cheese, if you prefer.
