Last week I realized, though I make them often during the cooler months, I don’t have a pumpkin muffin or a baked pumpkin oatmeal recipe on the blog. Guess what next week’s posts are going to be?
Before we can make pumpkin anything, we need a good pumpkin spice blend. This blend is courtesy of Christina Lane from Dessert For Two. The addition of black pepper is unique to this blend and gives it a subtle pop of flavor. Just make sure to finely grind the pepper or the pop of flavor won’t be subtle. Next week’s posts will be things that use this wonderful pumpkin pie spice blend.
