Tis the season for pumpkin spice and everything nice! If you’re a pumpkin spice lover and want to learn how to make some of your favorite treats at home, check out these easy recipes.

1. Pumpkin spice latte

Everybody raves over the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte every year, but you don’t have to worry about waiting. There’s a way for you to make a pumpkin spice latte that tastes just as good as Starbucks’ in your own home. The ingredients you’ll need for four mugs of this pumpkin spice latte are:

  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 600 grams of white sugar
  • 500 millimeters of cold water
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoons of pumpkin flesh
  • 600 ml full milk
  • 300 ml coffee
  • Whipped cream (optional)

To make the syrup, mix the sugar and water and boil it on low heat until the sugar dissolves. After the sugar melts, add the cinnamon sticks, spices, and pumpkin pulp while mixing for about five more minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat, allow it to cool, and then strain it into a strainer. Pour the syrup in a sealed container and refrigerate. To make the latte, heat up the milk until it’s almost at boiling point, then put two tablespoons of pumpkin syrup in each cup. Pour the hot coffee and milk in the cup and blend it until it becomes foamy. If you want, you can add whipped cream and enjoy your copycat Starbucks pumpkin spice latte!

8. Pumpkin spice muffins

For the pumpkin spice muffins:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Blend the two mixtures together until you don’t see any lumps. Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin pan, then bake for about 20 minutes. Let it cool before you dig in.

To make the cinnamon sugar topping, mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. While the muffins are still warm, dip the top of each one into the melted butter, shake off any excess, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar bowl.

9. Pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls

These are your favorite cinnamon rolls, but with a twist! Lovers of pumpkin spice will definitely want to try these out. Here are the ingredients needed:

  • 2 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cups warm water 110° to 115°
  • 4 eggs large
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup warm milk 110° to 115°
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/3 cup instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 7 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

For the filling:

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

For the icing:

  • 6 tbsp water
  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 3-4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then dissolve the yeast in a large bowl with the half cup of warm water. Add the eggs, shortening, pumpkin, milk, sugars, pudding mixes, salt, and six cups of flour, then beat it until it’s smooth. Slowly stir in one more cup of flour until it becomes sticky. Spread a half-cup of the flour on a flat surface and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover it and keep in in a warm spot so it can rise or double in size. This should take about an hour. Punch the dough down, fold it in half, roll each side into a rectangle, then spread butter on each side. Mix together the brown sugar and pumpkin spice and sprinkle it all over the dough.

Start rolling your dough like you’re making a jelly roll, and then cut it into about 12 slices. Place them on a greased pan with the cut side facing down, and cover them to let them rise for about half an hour. Put them in the oven for just under 30 minutes or until they’re golden brown. In a separate small bowl, mix your water, pumpkin pie spice, and butter, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until it turns out smooth. Spread this mix over your warm pumpkin cinnamon rolls, and voila! Dessert is served.

10. Pumpkin spice cupcakes

Take your pumpkin spice muffins up a notch and make them into cupcakes when you add cream cheese frosting and follow this easy recipe! Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

For the frosting:

  • 6 oz low-fat cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 4 cups icing sugar
  • 2-3 tsp whole milk
  • turbinado sugar for garnish (optional)

To prepare the cupcakes, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and add some paper liners to your muffin tin. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, and oil with a whisk until everything is combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt together, then pour this mixture into your first mixture. Mix everything together until everything is combined and the flour disappears. Use a spoon to scoop the mix into your muffin tins and bake the cupcakes for about 20 minutes or until they have a golden-brown color. After you take them out, set them down to cool.

To make the frosting, mix the cream cheese and butter together. Add the icing sugar one cup at a time, then add the milk one teaspoon at a time, keeping a careful eye on the frosting’s texture. Mix again until it’s light and fluffy. One the cupcakes have cooled completely, spread the frosting on each cupcake or pipe it on with a Ziplock bag with a hole cut in the corner or piping bag. If you want to garnish your cupcake with the turbinado sugar, sprinkle some of it on there and enjoy your pumpkin spice cupcake!
