KETO RECIPE: Pumpkin Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

I love, love, love this recipe. I’ve been making it for years, I originally got it from an interview I did with @livinglowcarbhighfat and I’ve made it so many times. Whether you make a cake or cupcakes, it’s amazing. For a little added pumpkin you can drizzle some Choc Zero Pumpkin Syrup on top which is a delicious seasonal flavor they do, or caramel would be awesome too.
