Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Latte

If you enjoy a pumpkin spice latte from any coffee shop, you'll probably reallllly like this recipe! This latte was mentioned this morning on Good Morning America. At first I was concerned I wouldn't be able to find canned pumpkin (it calls for 2 tablespoons), but my grocery store had plenty! Maybe you've heard of the recent canned pumpkin shortage...it's been such an ordeal! (Okay, I've been a little dramatic about it.) But apparently pumpkin is back. I also bought a couple 'pie pumpkins' and plan to try making my own pumpkin puree!

Three cheers for canned pumpkin!


And here's a link to the recipe. What do you do with the rest of the can of pumpkin? Make pumpkin muffins!! I would have if I didn't already have gobs of leftover desserts around the house. My extra pumpkin is in the fridge waiting to be baked later this week! Back to the drink...I really liked this 'latte'. I will say that I haven't purchased many from coffee shops because I'm so cheap, but I did have one a few weeks ago and this tastes pretty close, in my opinion. I thought it was delicious! You could maybe up the spices a little, but it was really nice as is! Enjoy!

p.s. This really only makes enough for a couple of people to enjoy, so you might double or triple it for company!

How funny--2nd time in 2 minutes to hear about the canned pumpkin shortage--just read Heather's blog. I hadn't heard of this problem before. So glad you found some. Strange how all of a sudden I have this need to go buy me some canned pumpkin--maybe just to see if I can???

3 cheers for canned pumpkin! HipHipHooray(x3)! I hoped to go get some last night but didn't have time. I going to buy some today, as my spies have spotted several locations that have some. I can't believe that I went to the one super w-mart that didn't have any.
I will have to try this latte, I love the one at S-bucks!

a friend of mine posted a recipe for choc. chip pumpkin bread/muffins. I'm dying to make it...maybe for Friday and I'll take it to my class at church (or invite people over afterward...)

Love you, miss you
