Tis the season to bake everything in Pumpkin Spice! Thus, in this post, I will be bringing you guys a few of my favorite all natural yet totally delicious Pumpkin Spice Pie flavored treats. From pop tarts, to cakes, to (yes) even a drink or two, this post is inspired by all things 'basic white girl', ugg boots and yoga pants OPTIONAL. Without further ado, let's go!
This GLORIOUS dessert-for-breakfast dish, linked above to the direct recipe, is marvelous, mouth-watering, coma-inducing...and all things AUTUMN wrapped up in a pretty and delicious treat. If you don't quite understand how this works, you can either bake it the morning of (which I assume is part of the original recipe/instructions on the Love & Lemons website), or do it "overnight style" which doesn't involve baking/heat, yet yields just as yummy the result. If you wish, I will post an alternate recipe below, for my fellow finicky eaters who still yearn to indulge in this delectable seasonal fare.
Brioche Bread
Almond Milk, Vanilla/Sweetened, or Dark Chocolate (for added decadence)
Pumpkin Pie Puree, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Coconut Sugar
Instructions (measure out according to your liking/needs):
Dice Brioche slices into cubes, then set aside in a cool glass bowl. Then, empty some (or all, depending on your needs) of the Pumpkin Pie puree into a separate bowl and add in the cinnamon, coconut sugar, and JUST A PINCH OF NUTMEG (I'm so for serious on this one because a tiny nutmeg goes such a long way, and it's flavor can totally ruin a dish if left unsupervised), stirring until completely combined. Grab your baking dish and butter the interior, then place the cubes of Brioche into the pan. Cut a ton of this so that there is an overflow, because it will all "bake" down whilst working itself out overnight. Once the cubes are in the dish, pour in your milk till it covers the cubes but isn't "overflowing". Next, smear a bit of the puree mixture onto the top, just enough for the flavor to sink into the cubes and all over the pan during the sitting process. Place into oven for 5+hours (hence the whole 'overnight' thing), and once you wake up, it should look similar to the above picture. Smear on some more puree to your liking, add whatever you want to the top (whether it be confectioner's sugar or dark chocolate chips) and heat a little until it melts then serve alongside Mimosas...because it's Mimosas, and they seriously go with everything.
This, right here, in all of its deliciousness...should be criminal. It really should be illegal, but alas, it is very much legal, and can be made right in your very own kitchen. Linked above is the recipe and website of origin, but I found this on Buzzfeed, so please go thank their writers for showing us all this lovely masterpiece of frozen delight.
This right here will undoubtedly remind me of all those frigid New England mornings at the bus stop waiting for my ride to school inside of Dunkin Donuts because we would've gotten frostbite otherwise. It's hot cocoa, with pumpkin spice, and all of the warmth of a cozy winter morning, so naturally, every basic white girl will be drinking it this season...and I will be, too. Hell, why not be basic for the winter? That time of the year all but demands us to wear ugg boots, fleece lined leggings, layered sweaters, and faux fur hats/mittens/coats. Let's all be basic white girls, shall we?? WE SHALL!!!!
Bien Provecho!
