Traditionally speaking, pumpkin anything with cream cheese frosting dolloped on it or in it, is totally acceptable in my book.  The flavors are to die for.

They melt in your mouth, with happy explosions of yumminess and these Plush Pumpkin Cupcakes with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting are no exception.

I'll give you some ChocolaTess Trivia!

Did you know consuming more iron from plant sources such as pumpkin, appear to promote fertility for women, according Harvard Medical School's Harvard Health Publications. That is, if you're trying to have a 'little peanut', you might want to stock up on pumpkin, right? It can't hurt!  The vitamin A in pumpkin is consumed as beta-carotene then converted to vitamin A in the body.  It is also essential during pregnancy and lactation for hormone structure.  Who knew?  🙂

Pumpkin is one of the best-known sources of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant giving orange vegetables and fruits their vibrant color.

Eating foods rich in beta-carotene may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer, offer protection against asthma and heart disease, and delay aging and body degeneration.

For even more benefits, check out this informative All the Powerful Health Benefits from Eating Pumpkin and see for yourself how pumpkins rate as a superfood!
