Over Yet?

I know what you're thinking. This whole pumpkin thing was over, wasn't it? It's not fall. Pumpkins aren't infiltrating every part of our minds anymore. What the hell am I doing posting a pumpkin recipe?

Well, when you have a half dozen cans of pumpkin just sitting in your pantry and they continue to be sold for $1.25/ can, how can you not continue to indulge in pumpkin? How can you not still be craving little mini pumpkin pies in cupcake form? Do you hate puppies and kittens too? Come on!

These are essentially mini-pies in cupcake form. They are best eaten after being chilled, but can definitely be gobbled up at room temperature. They were pretty quick to come together and are relatively low in sugar compared to regular cupcakes and pies.
