Pumpkin, pumpkin, and more pumpkin… I know you’ve seen a ton of it flying around the blog world these days, but if you’re like me, I can’t complain one bit! I don’t care if everyone is posting recipes about it and talking about how much they love it, because I love it too! The more pumpkin recipes, the better, in my opinion.
Well, good news – I have yet another pumpkin recipe for you! It’s not a pumpkin bread, or muffins, or cupcakes, or oatmeal, but yep, you guessed it – a pumpkin spiced latte! Unfortunately, I can’t in any way take credit for this. My aunt gave it to me, and she found it on the Crock Pot Girls Facebook page. It looks like they have a website too, so make sure you check it out!
Let’s just be honest here first though, who doesn’t like one of these bad boys?!
Let’s be honest again… Who doesn’t like spending $4-5 on one of those amazing and addicting Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Lattes?! (Umm, I sure don’t!)
Ok, well problem solved with this ingenius pumpkin spiced latte recipe! Plus, it’s in the Crock Pot, and you know what that means – easy peasy!
