Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

I stocked up on canned pumpkin last year when they were talking about a shortage and now I have 3 cans of it sitting in my pantry that I need to use. I found the recipe for the cupcakes and the icing here: Pumpkin Cupcakes & Cream Cheese Icing . I did follow the recipes exactly except for adding cinnamon to the icing.

The one thing that I liked about this recipe over others I found was that it doesn't have oil. Some of the other ones I found called for oil and butter or to use a cake mix. These are good but I think next time I will add more pumpkin to the cupcake batter and a little more cinnamon to the icing. I need to make sure I buy unsalted butter too.

I had to laugh when my in-laws came from Illinois, they bought a bunch of cans of pumpkin here in Colorado because they couldn't find any there.

I make a pumpkin bread that has the same ingredients... my daughter and I are going to make the cupcakes this weekend. Thanks for sharing the recipe... yummy!
