Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Note: If you LOVE spice, feel free to add some extra spice in here (pumpkin! allspice! more cinnamon! - you can add another 1/2 to 1 teaspoon if you'd like) as this isn't overly spiced. I prefer less spice in my pumpkin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sugar, yogurt and oil. Once smooth and combined, whisk in each egg one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until combined and no large lumps remain.
Fill the cupcake liners ¾ of the way full. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
Cool the cupcakes completely. Frost with the coffee cream cheese frosting. Serve!
espresso cream cheese frosting
Beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy. Beat in the sugar and espresso powder until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. Frost the cooled cupcakes! I like to keep the cupcakes in the fridge because of the cream cheese frosting - plus we love cold cake. But they are fine out at room temperature for a few hours!
