Healther Options: Pumpkin Spice Creamer
8:00 AMThe $361 million in revenue raked in during fall last year for pumpkin spice products tells me I'm not alone in my desire for pumpkin flavored foods when the first cold weather hits. But often, the end result of those manufactured products suspiciously lacks the very gourd it represents, and in its place, you'll find ingredients you can't pronounce, along with a whole lot of sugar.
But there is another way! You can still enjoy that warm, comfortable flavor of fall, with minimal effort and clean ingredients. For National Coffee Day, I posted a recipe for pumpkin spice lattes, but if you don't have the time to spend on creating one, you can make this pumpkin spice creamer to keep on hand in your fridge, as a quick option. If you're not a coffee drinker, this one works great in chai tea, as well.
