As autumn arrives, it's time to indulge in the delicious flavors of pumpkin-spiced treats. Skip the store-bought options and try these tasty recipes that will make your home smell incredible.
Make Your Own Pumpkin Spice
Before starting these recipes, create your own pumpkin spice blend using 3 tbsp ground cinnamon, 2 tsp ground ginger, 2 tsp nutmeg, and 1½ tsp ground allspice. Store it in an airtight jar for easy use.
Pumpkin-Spiced Latte
No need to spend on expensive cafe coffee when you can make your own pumpkin-spiced latte at home. Heat a cup of milk with a shot of espresso, 1 tsp sugar, and ½ tsp of your homemade spice mix in a saucepan. Simmer, stir occasionally, and pour into a mug. Sprinkle a dash of spice on top. Use hot chocolate instead of espresso for a kid-friendly version.
Pumpkin-Spiced Cake
Try a twist on the classic carrot cake by baking an autumn-inspired pumpkin-spiced cake instead. Make your own vanilla sponge using pantry ingredients or grab a Tesco sponge mix for £1.20 and add two eggs. Mix in a tin of pumpkin puree (£1.60, Sainsbury's) and 1 tsp of your homemade spice mix. Decorate with cream cheese frosting infused with a dash of pumpkin spice.
Pumpkin-Spiced Espresso Martini
