Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

I LOVE Pumpkin! Pumpkin in every recipe would be ok with me. Usually you hear about the typical Pumpkin bread or Pumpkin Pancakes. I was determined to make a pumpkin cupcake. I have a small obcession with making cupcakes. They are the right portion for a sweet treat. Keeps my jeans buttoning up nicely.

I thought to be even more figure friendly, so I made mini Pumpkin Cupcakes.

I'm not much of a fan of frosting from the can, I prefer to make my frostings homemade.



Since Pumpkin reminds everyone of fall, why not put little candies on top?
