While we may be in the middle of the PSL season, true holiday baking has yet to really hit. With Halloween right around the corner and Thanksgiving on its coat tails it's time to brace yourself for pumpkins galore and a sugary round of holiday baking.
To make sure you continue to celebrate the season right, we have found 9 pumpkin recipes for your Chico apartment that will make you wish it was fall, all year long!
1. Pumpkin Spice Latte (Better than Starbucks)
Of course, we had to add the drink that started the craze! Faith from the Kitchn whips up a delightful PSL that you'll want to make all year long. Caution: Dangerously addictive. We advise you to save this rich latte recipe for fall time only!
2. Pumpkin Spice White Russian
Nutmeg Nanny makes an amazing White Russian with Pumpkin Spice with a subtle kick of Kahlúa. Top her recipe off with fresh whipped cream and chocolate sauce to turn it into a dessert you can sip. (Please sip responsibly!)
3. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars
This is the type of delicious baked good that mere mortals can't resist, even if they are still hot from the oven. Sara’s recipe from Mom Endeavors looks like it would be heaven in your mouth. Have patience my friend, and try to wait for them to cool off!
