Whether you like it or not, autumn is also informally reocognized as pumpkin spice season. Although the flavor blend has become a subject of contention in recent years, we are of the opinion that this heavenly mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice remains as delightful as ever. So don't let the pumpkin spice haters get you down—celebrate the season by whipping up one of our 25 favorite pumpkin spiced recipes.

DIY Pumpkin Spice with Just 5 Ingredients

DIY Pumpkin Spice with Just 5 Ingredients Recipe

Saying goodbye to summer means welcoming sweater weather, boots all day, every day, and pumpkin spice everything. Save a few extra bucks this season by making your own pumpkin spice at home. Sure, your favorite neighborhood coffee shop has pumpkin spice lattes—trademarked by Starbucks as “PSL”—but they cost roughly $4 a cup. And a bottle of store-bought pumpkin spice is just as pricey—if not more pricier. With this homemade pumpkin spice on hand, you’ll be able to make pumpkin pie-flavored drinks, cakes, pies, cookies, and more for much less. You’ll only need five ingredients—typical fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and clove—and a mason jar for shaking and storing. DIY pumpkin spice will make your whole life smell like PSL heaven. 

DIY Pumpkin Spice

Directions

Combine the ingredients in a mason jar and shake until well combined. Use it whenever you want in whatever you want.

Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Candied Walnuts Recipe

Yet another way to enjoy pumpkin spice this season. Gift these to friends as a festive treat, or enjoy them yourself with an autumnal beer. Make sure to use pure maple syrup, as pancake syrup will taste artificial and will likely overwhelm the spiced flavor.

Use Your Pumpkin Spice Latte to Make a 3-Ingredient Breakfast Casserole

Use Your Pumpkin Spice Latte to Make a 3-Ingredient Breakfast Casserole Recipe

All year long, pumpkin spice lovers anxiously await the day when the Pumpkin Spice Latte returns to Starbucks. Now that the season is finally upon us, it’s time to feed your PSL addiction and try some bizarre foods like pumpkin spice peanut butter, pumpkin spice English muffins, pumpkin spice wine, and an all—literally all—pumpkin spice breakfast, including this pumpkin spice latte French toast casserole. Yes, that’s right. Imagine PSL and French toast had an affair that unexpectedly but thankfully produced a love child. All you need is three ingredients: a loaf of brioche, a venti PSL, and eggs. The sprinkling of brown sugar and an extra dash of pumpkin pie spice is optional, but highly recommended.

French toast and French toast casseroles traditionally call for an egg-and-milk bath for the bread. Here, I’ve simply replaced milk with a Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte (you could even use the newly popular pumpkin nitro latte mashup). A whole loaf of sweet brioche is torn apart and tossed in a greased pie dish (or pan, if that’s how you roll), and then doused in an egg and pumpkin spice latte mixture. 

The best part of making this baked French toast is its undeniably easy prep and make-ahead magic. Assemble the entire dish at night and leave it soaking in the fridge while you get some beauty sleep, and just pop it in the oven when you wake up.

Pumpkin Spice Fudge

Pumpkin Spice Fudge Recipe

We turned the classic pumpkin pie (and the trendiest of fall spice blends) into a tasty confection. Fudge doesn't require the tempering, rolling, and shaping of other made-from-scratch candies. If you don't have a candy thermometer, do the cold water test: Drop a small amount of the cooked sugar mixture in cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the mixture is ready for pouring into the prepared pan.

Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Bites

Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Bites Recipe

For a guilt-free, vegan dessert that's sure to get you in the fall spirit, there's no better option than these adorable mini pumpkin spice bites. Encased in a simple walnut-pecan-date crust, the key to this autumnal treat lies in the silken tofu filling. Providing a creamy consistency without affecting flavor, silken tofu is the best kept vegan dessert secret.

Single-Serving Pumpkin Spice Latte

Single-Serving Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

What if we told you that you could make your favorite, Starbucks-inspired pumpkin spice latte, right there in the comfort of your own home kitchen? Rather than calling for a big batch of homemade pumpkin spice syrup, we've streamlined the process so that you only make as much pumpkin syrup as you need for one latte. Feel free to scale the recipe up if you're preparing more. If you don't have access to an espresso machine, any strongly-brewed coffee will do. In addition, alt-milks or lower-fat milks can be substituted, although whole milk will be the richest and most satisfying.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Pie with Coffee Liqueur Whipped Cream

Pumpkin Spice Latte Pie with Coffee Liqueur Whipped Cream Recipe

Whether or not you’re a fan of the infamous, seasonal Starbuck’s beverage, we’re willing to bet you won’t have any regrets about swapping your typical pumpkin pie for this caffeinated uptake this Thanksgiving. We were surprised by just how amazing a hint of coffee sets off creamy, spiced pumpkin pie filling, but the depth of rich flavor speaks for itself—this PSL-inspired pie is in a league of it’s own. Served with a coffee liqueur-spiked whipped cream, this fall dessert reaches a level of decadence a basic pumpkin pie could only dream of. Note: If you opt to create a decorative lattice effect as we did here, be very careful when placing your dough strips atop the pie—the pie’s surface will be very hot and not fully set.

Candied pecans and a rich, buttery icing turn a simple pumpkin Bundt cake into a grand finale dessert. For the smoothest texture and most impressive presentation, make sure the icing is still warm when you spoon it over the cake.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Coffee Glaze

Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Coffee Glaze Recipe

Full of warming fall flavors, these easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies are just about the perfect after-dinner treat to pair with a cup of coffee. After all, they’re basically everyone’s favorite seasonal latte delivered in cookie form. If you plan to share these pumpkin spice cookies at any sort of fall potluck and nut allergies are a concern, you can certainly leave the ground pecans out of the batter—simply replace them with 1/3 cup more all-purpose flour.

If you’d rather skip the booze in the coffee glaze, try replacing it with 2-3 tablespoons of cold coffee. Or you can opt for a different glaze altogether; the maple glaze used here or this toasty tahini glaze would both work great for these pumpkin cookies.

Savory Pumpkin Spice Dutch Baby

Savory Pumpkin Spice Dutch Baby Recipe

This festive dish is essentially a large pumpkin pancake that is perfectly fitting for your fall brunch spread. Featuring cracked pepper, bacon, and roasted onions, this dish is a unique and savory take on pumpkin spice flavors.  Of course, if a sweet pumpkin spice version is more to your liking, the recipe can be adjusted to fit your sweet tooth cravings. Simply omit the black pepper and exchange the bacon and thyme roasted onions for a sweeter topping instead, such as sautéed apples, honey, or powdered sugar.

Pumpkin Spice Battenberg

Pumpkin Spice Battenberg Recipe

A Battenberg cake has two flavors of sponge cake with a layer of jam wrapped up in a thin layer of marzipan, like a present. When cut, the layers look like a two-colored checkered pattern. Here's a tip: Coat your pan with cooking spray because that's what will keep the parchment paper divider in place for the pretty pumpkin and vanilla layers. Marzipan can be found in specialty stores or ordered online.
