Notes

  • For an extra touch of fall flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cloves to the cupcake batter.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to ½ cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Decorate with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a small candy pumpkin for a festive look.
