Easy Pumpkin Cupcakes
IT'S OFFICIALLY FALL!
Or, Autumn, as it's called in England. The thing is, Autumn doesn't rhyme with y'all. So, I'm keeping Fall.
I've shared this recipe before, but I'm sharing it again because I seriously love it! It's a one bowl wonder and so delicious. I've made a few alterations, but if you'd like the original, click here!
Enjoy!
xoxo, Kat
