The BEST Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes. EVER.

I've made Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting three times in the last two months, they make my belly happy. These are the most moist cupcakes I've ever had, here's what's in them:

I dump all my ingredients into my mixer & let it do all the work.

I fill 24 cupcake liners about 2/3 full.

& bake

Prepare frosting as you are cooling cupcakes. Once completely cooled, frost those little babies & enjoy immediately! 

Store in the fridge, they make an excellent breakfast...or snack...or dessert.
