I’m not a big pumpkin fan.  I like them for sitting on my porch, but that’s about it.  I do, however, like pumpkin bread.  yum.  And I found this great recipe for little pumpkin cupcakes.  Absolutely worth making.  I added a little cream cheese frosting (that’s supposed to be a ghost).  Delish.

Here’s the recipe (adpated from a recipe from Cupcakes: From the Cake Mix Doctor)

1 yellow cake mix

1 cup canned pumpkin

1/3 cup vegetable oil  *here’s where I adapt…I use less oil, like 1/4 cup and add about a 1/3 cup of applesauce*

1/2 cup milk

3 large eggs

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Beat ingredients on medium for about 2 minutes or so.  Scoop into cupcake papers. Bake according to yellow cake mix box…about 15-18 minutes.
