Let’s dive into September with a couple of recipes that are quick and easy to make at home. These recipes are delicious and just perfect to start your September right. Whether you’re looking to warm up with a cozy drink or indulge in a sweet treat, these tasty delights will bring the flavors of fall straight to your kitchen.

Pumpkin Spice Latte at Home

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of pumpkin spice? For many of us, it’s that iconic pumpkin spice latte! While it’s always fun to grab one from your favorite coffee shop, making it at home is easy and delicious.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of milk (regular or your choice of almond, coconut, etc)
• 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
• 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or sugar substitute (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee or 1-2 shots of espresso
• Whipped cream and extra pumpkin pie spice for topping

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Heat over medium heat until it’s hot, but not quite boiling.
2. Remove from heat and whisk until the mixture is frothy. You can also use a milk frother for this step if you prefer.
3. Pour the coffee or espresso into a large mug, then add the pumpkin spice milk mixture you just made. Stir to combine.
4. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a coffee shop look!

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

If you’re in the mood for baking, these muffins are the perfect treat to kick off your fall mornings or enjoy as a snack. They are moist, flavorful, and make the whole house smell like a fall wonderland. Pumpkin muffins are my absolute favorite fall breakfast (or dessert). I usually get them from Dunkin’, however, it’s easy enough to whip up a batch at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of sugar (or Splenda baking sugar substitute)
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup of orange juice
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
3. In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – it doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
