Tis the season for all things pumpkin! Add a drizzle of Pumpkin Spice Syrup to whatever your heart desires—coffee, ice cream, a spoon, your finger—you get the idea!
Pumpkin Season
It’s officially October, which means that now it’s pumpkin season for real. I feel like there’s some controversy over whether September is ok for pumpkin flavors, or if it’s strictly an apple month. But now that it’s really “Pumpkin Month” I’ve got a new recipe for you. Pumpkin Spice Syrup! This stuff is soooooooo good! You can drizzle this syrup on ice cream, coffee, milk, granola, brownies, a spoon, your fingers…..you get the idea!
Now that we’ve gotten into the swing of the school year, Jonathan and I have been enjoying lots of time together (including my photo shoots, as demonstrated above!). It’s been so fun to see his little personality shine without the being overshadowed by his larger than life big brother (sorry David, we love you, but you have a LOT of personality!). He’s learning his ABCs—or maybe he already knew them and we just couldn’t hear him saying them? He likes to sing songs—current fave is the “Itsy Bitsy Pider.” And he is LOVING the chance to be “first stool” in the kitchen for cooking projects!
Both of my kids are loving this yummy syrup! I’ve been making them “Pumpkin Spice Milk” —just a tablespoon or two of the syrup swirled into a glass of milk—and they love it!
And I’m loving it as another quick way to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte!
Look how easy it is to make Pumpkin Spice Syrup at home!

Don’t forget to pin this recipe!
I would put this on everything…including a spoon straight into my mouth! Hooray for all things pumpkin!
That’s the goal—spoon into mouth! So good!
I think we should be able to have pumpkin year-round! Why save something so good for just one or two months out of the year? I’d definitely use this syrup on ice cream in the summer!
I think you’re onto something!!!
Yummy! I really would drizzle this on everything including a big stack of fluffy pancakes…. 😛
Yes! I love it on waffles!!!
This looks amazingly delicious! I need to make some for my next hot chocolate!
Yes, it would be PERFECT for that! We’re expecting a big storm this weekend (you probably are too) so I think I’ll make some with lots of hot chocolate. The boys will be very happy!
I love everything about this post! Not only does the recipe look awesome, Jonathan is so amazingly cute! I’m looking forward to more appearances from your new little helper. 🙂
Aw, thanks! Yes, he’s pretty cute! And a total two year old! But he does love to help in the kitchen!!!
Yum! I love pumpkin so now I’m going to want to put this sauce on everything!
Yes, totally! My favorite delivery system is a spoon 🙂
What a cutie! And i really like your pumpkin syrup too!
Thank you—he is cute and mischievous! And the syrup and delicious!
This looks delicious, and how cute is your polkadot pumpkin??
Target dollar bin for the win! Woot woot!
That’s so cute that Jonathan is excited about being “first stool.” I can see how much fun it is to get him on his own, where he is able to shine outside of his brother’s shadow.
Yes, exactly! He’s enjoying the extra attention for sure! And I’m finding that I’m learning so much about him—had no idea he liked to cook as much as David!
