Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

So a friend of mine posted an easy recipe for Pumpkin Spice cupcakes that were only 3 ingredients and lowfat as well/. I added my own cinnamon cream cheese frosting and it made for a perfect taste.  I thought I would share the recipe with those of you looking for a yummy easy fall treat:)  (sorry I didn't get a picture of them before they were devoured).

Cupcakes
Spice Cake Mix
2 cans pumpkin
2 tbsp. vanilla

Mix all three ingredients until well blended. Batter will be a little thick. Spoon into cupcake pan and bake on 350 for 25 minutes.  (Note:  these tend to be very dense so may not appear done but they are)

Allow to cool then add frosting.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

1/4 stick of butter (softened)
1 block of cream cheese (softened)
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tea. vanilla
2 teas. ground cinnamon

In stand up mixer beat butter and cream cheese until blended. gradually add powdered sugar until desired texture is reached.  stir in cinnamon and vanilla. Let set up in fridge for 30 minutes then apply generously to cupcakes:)

These were so much better the 2nd day after they had set over night.

Happy Fall Yall
