If I don't hold back my four hungry sons (ages 6,5,4 and 2), they'll eat a third of the batch of these moist and tender mini muffins before I get them frosted!

Everyone that I have shared these cupcakes with have loved them. I did change the frosting and used home made cream cheese frosting instead. Excellent!

It makes 7 dozen MINI muffins. I make regular size muffins when I make these. They are so good!! Very moist, the cream cheese frosting goes perfect with the pumpkin!
