Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer

Love it or hate it, it’s pumpkin time. I love pumpkin spice coffee creamer and usually buy it in the fall. I’m a half and half in my coffee drinker, but I make an exception for the spicy goodness of this flavorful creamer. If you love pumpkin spice coffee creamer like I do, you can just as easily make your own. It’s super simple.

A lot of coffee creamer recipes involve heating up the milk and sugar on the stovetop. This recipe involves zero cooking because you use sweetened condensed milk. There’s no sugar to melt. Simply whisk everything together and that’s it. You can adjust the spices to your likeness. Half and half works well in this creamer, but use your preference of milk.

The flavor of this homemade creamer is more subtle than the store bought stuff, but very good in my opinion. It’s nice to make your own creamer and know exactly what ingredients are inside. Pumpkin spice coffee creamer would make a nice hostess, teacher, or holiday gift.

Happy Eating!

Pumpkin Bars

FullSizeRender (1)

It’s that time of year. Pumpkin time. Pumpkin everything is everywhere. It wasn’t that long ago that the only big thing happening pumpkin-wise this time of year was the now infamous pumpkin spice latte. If you got your hands on one of those, then you felt pretty special. Now, pumpkin has taken over all aspects of food from yogurt to cereal, and even candy. We are pumpkin obsessed for some reason. For the non-pumpkin eaters, I’m sorry. For the rest of us, yay!!

In honor of all things pumpkin, I give you pumpkin bars. You’re welcome.

The bars are really more like a moist delicious cake. The pumpkin flavor is there, but it’s subtle, not overpowering. And, the piece de resistance, cream cheese frosting. The combo of the scrumptious cake and sweet icing make this dessert irresistible. It’s hard to stop at one. Pumpkin bars are addictive. You’ve been warned.
