Getting Through Pumpkin Season
This time if year is really rough for me. All my favorite fall flavors surround my senses. Peppermint, Candy Cane, and my all time personal favorite pumpkin! Pies, donuts, coffee and cake --- any way it's made I will eat it. Normally I do not even bother to lose weight during this time of year. But since I'm on a mission to drop 50 pounds before we have the next baby --- I was in desperate need to satisfy my pumpkin craving without putting on the pounds. This recipe has become one of my favorites. I did have to alter the recipe to truly get it to taste like pumpkin pie for my tastes. This recipe is truly versatile and has some wiggle room to add some additional ingredients. I have provided the original recipe which was too sour, and not sweet enough for my tastes and then my personal version. You can choose whichever you like.ORIGINAL RECIPE (source amyhealthysbaking.com)

I generally have mine with my caramel latin style coffee or hot chocolate... OMG it is soooooo goood and this is how I'm surviving pumpkin season LOL. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
PS. If I'm craving chocolate, sometimes I replace the raisins with 2 tbsp of chocolate chips and it really hits the spot.
