Pumpkin


I’m a busy mom of two under two and a lot of times it’s a challenge fitting in a proper meal. My husband was out of town recently, and the only time I ate a full meal was when the kids were both napping, which I think happened, like once. During busy times, I sometimes grab an energy bar to tide me over to the next meal. The downfall of these convenience snacks is their price and (sometimes) their artificial ingredients. I decided it was time to try a homemade version, so I chose to make pumpkin spice granola bars.

I love pumpkin spice baked goods. Every fall, it’s become a tradition for me to make at least a few versions of pumpkin spice goodies. My husband always requests pumpkin pancakes and these pumpkin cookies. I’ve also branched out and made these pumpkin Nutella bars, and pumpkin scones, both of which were a big hit at work.

Who else is excited about pumpkin spice recipes? It’s the most pumpkiny time of the year! Now that I live in Boston, I’m really looking forward to the fall. It’s been more than 15 years since I lived in WI and could experience the gorgeous fall leaves. I’ve heard fall in Boston is gorgeous, so I’m really looking forward to the changing seasons. I’m especially excited about eating lots of pumpkin spice recipes this fall.

Who else is excited about pumpkin spice season? It’s the most pumpkiny time of the year! The weather in LA is not very fall-like, but this is the best time for baking if you ask me. I love pumpkin spice baking recipes most of all. There is something so nostalgic about pumpkin spice flavors. Looking back on all of the posts I’ve written in the last 7 years, I realized I am kind of obsessed with pumpkin spice recipes. I have more than a dozen pumpkin spice recipes, but today I’m sharing my 8 favorite pumpkin spice baking recipes.

I love pumpkin spice recipes. I’ve made a lot of pumpkin recipes over the years, but I’ve never made baked pumpkin spice donuts before. There are other baked donut recipes I’ve made (like these baked lemon donuts) but never baked pumpkin donuts. Ironically, one of my most viral pins has always been this 12 baked donuts recipe pin. However, I’ve rarely made baked donuts.

Fall baking is my favorite kind of baking, and nothing says autumn more than pumpkin cupcakes. They’re warm, cozy, and full of spice, perfect for everything from a Halloween party to a Thanksgiving dessert table. This season, I baked a batch a delicious pumpkin spice cupcakes recipe and topped them with swirls of buttercream frosting and adorable little candy melt pumpkins.

It’s officially pumpkin pie season and this year, I’m turning up the heat. Classic pumpkin pie is always delicious, but after making it the same way for years, I wanted something that felt a little more exciting, more flavorful, and honestly… more me. So, I took inspiration from one of my favorite mini-pumpkin pie recipes by Cooking Classy and gave it a bold, cozy makeover.

When October rolls around, I’m so ready for fall and all the flavors fall brings — especially all the pumpkin spice recipes I can find. I like me some pumpkin. I’ve shared my favorite pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin nutella bars, pumpkin scones and pumpkin pancakes before, but I’m always on the hunt for different pumpkin spice recipes.

Are you a pumpkin spice fan? It’s one of my favorite flavors. I love fall because it means I get to bake with as much pumpkin spice as I want. I absolutely adore all things pumpkin spice. If you follow my recipes, you know that I’ve created a lot of pumpkin spice recipes over the years. (cookies, ice cream, coffee cake, bars, pancakes, just to name a few). This year, I wanted to try something completely new. My cousin-in-law recently made these pumpkin spice shortbread cookies, so I knew I had to give this recipe a shot – and my own spin.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It also happens to be the second-biggest U.S. holiday after Christmas. And it’s no wonder why. What’s not to like about Halloween? It’s all about dressing in fun costumes and eating candy! This year, I’ve gotten more into decorating for Halloween too. I was searching for a Halloween advent calendar, but most of them felt really cheesy and juvenile. I decided to make a days until Halloween pumpkin craft because it felt a bit more chic and also interactive.
