Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes, keto-ized

Often I wonder "why do I love cooking so much, and when did that start?" and then I think, maybe the eating part? When I lived at home I rarely cooked (mum always made the best food. duh).

You can still have these things, and easily make them low carb! Unlike low-carb baked goods,...
