Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

 It’s fall.  The only good thing about winter on the horizon is pumpkin spice everything, boots, scarves, and cute coats.  Just sayin’.  These cupcakes are the perfect indulgence if you choose to make a healthy treat for all your pumpkin spice cravings.  I am sometimes lazy and if you are too, then you could easily just turn this pumpkin/spice combo into pancakes.  Just take my pancake recipe and change out banana (or whatever other flavor) for pumpkin and add in the spice. Boom. Don’t be lazy.
