Maple Cupcakes with Pumpkin Spice Frosting
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was fantastic! Friday, my mom, sister and I spent the day making lots of holiday candy! 14 lbs of bark (white chocolate peppermint, white chocolate tangerine, dark chocolate peppermint and milk chocolate toffee), 2lbs of white chocolate pretzels, 3 lbs of holiday spiced pecans and 6lbs of holiday spice walnuts! Then we bagged it all up! It was an amazing day but, after that sugar, I am in need for a healthy treat! These cupcakes are so healthy that you could eat them for breakfast! I hope you enjoy! Have a great start to your week!

Instructions
- Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees

- Mix together your wet ingredients
- Combine wet and dry ingredients
- Evenly divide batter among 6 muffin cupakes

- *I made these twice. First time using cupcake liners and second time spraying the tin. They stuck to the paper liners, so if you would like to use them, I recommend spraying the inside of a foil liner with nonstick spray.
