It’s hard to think of the Autumn season without dreaming of the cozy foods that come along with the cooler weather - warming soups, oatmeal bowls, baked treats and of course, the ubiquitous (and delicious!) flavor of Fall, pumpkin spice. Come to think of it, it’s hard to go pretty much anywhere without coming across that harbinger of the season: we recently read that there are over 400 pumpkin spice products in a given grocery store during the Autumn months. That said, do our taste buds, our digestive tracts, our skin, our energy levels - our bodies - really crave the heightened number of manufactured additives and sweeteners that are so often found in pumpkin spice products at this point? We put forth a resounding “No”! Which is why we were so happy to usher in the Fall and enjoy pumpkin spice and all the cozy vibes with our friends at Simple Mills: their Pumpkin Muffin & Bread mix contains just eight ingredients, all of which are straightforward, recognizable and comforting. We loved making baked pumpkin spice donuts with the clean, yummy baking mix and topped them with an all-natural, dairy-free glaze - check out the recipe here!
