Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Fall seems to be all about the Pumpkin Spice Latte. While I love a piping hot coffee as much as anyone, what if you could combine all those flavors into a baked good?

Well I just did! These Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes  contain real pumpkin and a punch of real coffee. You may want to eat these pumpkin spice cupcakes for breakfast, and that’s fine with me. No judgement zone here!
