3 Pumpkin Spice Recipes for The Whole Family

Wondering what to do with your babe's leftover Pumpkin Spice Babyblend? We've got three recipes so the whole fam can enjoy a little pumpkin spice.

At Little Spoon, we don’t play favorites….BUT, if we did, our seasonal Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Babyblend would be a clear winner. With organic pumpkin, creamy coconut milk and a touch of seasonal spice, this blend is addictively good. So, naturally, we couldn’t resist making a few recipes for us big kids that incorporated PSB. 

Pumpkin Spice Granola

Ingredients: 

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • ⅓ cup raw cashews
  • ⅓ cup raw almonds, sliced or chopped
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ⅓ tsp pumpkin pie spice (you can also add an extra dash cinnamon and a tiny pinch of cardamom and allspice if you have)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup (or sub honey)
  • 1 Little Spoon Pumpkin Spice Babyblend

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 340℉.
  2. Mix the oats, nuts, spices, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup, and Pumpkin Spice blend, and whisk. Pour over the dry ingredients and quickly mix with a wooden spoon.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly onto two parchment-lined baking sheets (or bake in two batches) and bake for 23-33 minutes, stirring a bit near the halfway point—we stirred every 10 min and swapped baking sheet racks. If you prefer chunkier granola, don’t stir as it breaks up the clusters. Instead, just rotate the pans at the halfway point to ensure even cooking.
  5. Once the granola is golden brown (usually about 25 minutes), remove from oven and let cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container. The granola should keep for a couple weeks or you can store in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months!

  1. Preheat the oven to 425℉ and take pie crust out of the freezer to thaw.
