Cheers to pumpkin spice!Pumpkin French Toast Casserole | Little Spice Jar The best thing about a casserole like this is that you make it the night before, stick it in the fridge and the next morning you just bake it and dig in, or take it to work to further endear yourself to co-workers. The choice is yours!

Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins | Sally's Baking AddictionHow can you resist something called Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins? They just sound perfect, don’t they? Psst… I’ll share my favorite tip with you, but don’t tell anyone else! Make the crumb topping first thing and then stick it in the freezer while you make the muffin batter. Then take it out and chop it up with a fork and top the muffins with it before it goes in the oven. The crumb topping will stay nice and crumbly and won’t seep into the muffins.

See the easiness?Pumpkin Dump Cake | Cookies & CupsI don’t normally get excited about “dump cakes.” There’s just something off-putting about the name for me. However, I trust Shelly Jaronsky (see my review of her cookbook here) and as usual I’m glad I did! This was stupid easy and crazy delicious. It was an amazing half pie/half cake concoction that thrilled all of my taste-testers.

Actual footage of cake tester.BONUS RECIPE!I had a bit of a panic attack when I started gathering my ingredients to bake and realized that I had no pumpkin pie spice! I almost had to send my daughter to the store to buy it for me (I ask her all the time and she totally hates it) but then I realized I might have the ingredients to make my own. Here’s the recipe that saved her from an annoying 10 minute round trip:
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Mix thoroughly and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
