Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte

Happy first of October, y’all! It’s October, and if you’re readin’ this, it might even be the second, but who’s countin’?

It’s the time for Halloween, carvin’ pumpkins, pickin’ apples and the high time of autumn leaves!

I’ve spent all day messin’ with recipes usin’ a heap of pumpkin puree I whipped up yesterday. Seems about right for the season!

Autumn is my top-pick season. I’m over the moon about them colorful leaves, sippin’ on piping hot milky tea and diggin’ out my cozy sweaters and warm socks once again.

Above everything else though, I’m all about that wonderfully spiced, comforting food that comes with fall. Pumpkin spice (just ’bout anything) is one of my most cherished flavors.

So when summer starts to dwindle and autumn rolls on in each year, I can’t help but feel a little peeved that canned pumpkin puree ain’t available here in the UK. Why? Can’t tell ya!

This go around though, I’ve got a plan. Each week this season will start with me whippin’ up a fresh batch of homemade pumpkin puree to keep in the icebox ready for cookin’ or bakin’, or just in case that hankerin’ for one of those irresistible pumpkin spice lattes hits me again.

It’s turned into my favorite thing to do when I’m hankerin’ for a comfy afternoon curled up on the couch with a good book ‘n hot drink.
