Ingredients

• 2 cups of milk (any kind you like)

• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (plus a pinch more for topping)
• A splash of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso

Instructions

2. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until everything’s smooth and smells like autumn.
3. Pour in the coffee and give it a good stir. Let it heat for another minute to marry all those flavors together.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Wake up your mornings with this cozy bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal—it’s like autumn in a spoon, ready in minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of old-fashioned oats

• A couple of dashes of cinnamon
• 1 tbsp of maple syrup (because why not?)

5. Serve it hot. Tip: For an extra crunch, top with a handful of walnuts or a dollop of almond butter. Tip: If you’re feeling fancy, a drizzle of extra maple syrup never hurt anybody.
