So this is pure pumpkin love in the shape of a cupcake My favorite pastime is to review and reinvent dessert recipes for my dietary requirements. Today was no different. I was inspired by @thecozyplum and @theloopywhisk gorgeous coffee cake recipes and switched up some dietary compliment options for me and the Missy J's peeps. The star of the show, alongside Missy J'carob chips was @iamlenskitchen pumpkin/cardamom spice. You gotta try it.

Oh, and herbal tea of course.
