By now it’s a bit of a cliché, but we’re as crazy for pumpkin spice lattes as the next person. Since going to the coffee shop to get our fix every day gets a little pricey, we scoured the internet for a version we could make ourselves.
After testing a lot of recipes we discovered this awesome recipe from Brenda who blogs at A Farmgirl’s Dabbles.Unlike some of the other recipes we tried that were syrup-based, this recipe is milk-based, which results in a super creamy latte that’s perfectly sweet.
We couldn’t help but think this mixture would have many other uses beyond the traditional latte, and we were right! We put it to work in a variety of breakfast items, including a yogurt parfait, oatmeal and pancakes with great success. Hop on over to Brenda’s site for the base recipe, then give some of the recipes below a try.
