Two Easy Pumpkin Recipes to Try This Fall: Syrup for Lattes and Dunkable Cookie Sticks
Tired of half-used cans of pumpkin? Together, these two recipes use up a full can of pumpkin — or you can double either one if you prefer to make just the syrup or the cookies.
Fall is here, which means pumpkin spice season is officially in full swing. Like everyone else, I couldn’t wait to make my own pumpkin spice lattes at home. But when I tried the recipes I found online, I ran into two problems.
- They were grainy and gritty. The pumpkin would sink to the bottom of the mug, leaving a pulpy last sip that was anything but cozy.
- Every recipe left me with half a can of pumpkin sitting in the fridge, daring me to find a use for it before it spoiled.
So, I went back into the kitchen and started experimenting. After a few test runs (and plenty of coffee ☕), I landed on the perfect solution, which I’m excited to share with you. I hope you’ll love this as much as I do!
✨ The Perfect Pairing
- Pumpkin Spice Syrup: A smooth, barista-style syrup that stirs right into your coffee — no grit, no clumps, just cozy pumpkin spice flavor.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Stick Cookies: Crisp, spiced cookie sticks made for dunking, and the perfect way to use up the rest of the can.
Two recipes, one can of pumpkin, and a cozy fall ritual that will carry you through the season.
🍂 How to Make It a Ritual
Make the syrup once, and you’ll have a jar ready to turn any cup of coffee into a pumpkin spice latte all week long. Pair it with a fresh batch of pumpkin dippers for the ultimate café-at-home experience. Dunk, sip, repeat.
📸 Make It Yours
If you try this duo, I’d love to see it. Snap a photo of your latte and dippers, then leave a comment or tag me on Pinterest or Instagram so I can cheer you on.
