As I write this, it’s September. And September always means an explosion of pumpkin spice recipes on the web. That being said, I started seeing this recipe floating around on Facebook well before that. If memory serves, this seemed to go viral at the beginning of August, the second the kids started going back to school.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one that has a hard time waiting for Autumn to arrive! All it’s flavors, textures and colors make me feel alive and well. I truly enjoy the flavors that pumpkin and pumpkin spice offer this time of year and so I felt it was simply my duty to give you guys a clean version of this recipe.
While I’m sure the original is simply fabulous, for those of us who eat clean, this cleaner version is a perfect fit. Enjoy the autumn weather and revel in the pumpkin flavors. Tis the season after all!!

Tiffany,
This looks great! Two things: I didn’t see a link for the pumpkin spice recipe and (2) In the video, it looked like one of the ingredients added was cinnamon, but I don’t see that in the ingredient list. Is that part of the pumpkin spice recipe? Thanks as always for these healthy, clean recipes that you provide I enjoy your website and making some of these foods.

Paula – Thanks for the heads up! I added the link to the pumpkin pie spice. As for the video, if it’s what I think you mean, it was probably the pumpkin pie spice. Hope that helps!
