Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix

Ingredients:

4 cups chex cereal (I used the honey nut flavor but cinnamon would work great too!)

2 cups Reese’s pieces
2 cups mixed nuts
1 egg white
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp brown sugar

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the mixed nuts.
In a small bowl combine the pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar
In a separate bowl, crack an egg, keeping the egg white.
Drizzle the egg white over the nuts coating evenly.
Sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice mixture over the nuts and toss. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, tossing over every once in awhile.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the other ingredients.
Add the nuts once cooled and toss.

Enjoy! If not eating immediately, store in an airtight container or mason jar. Or in this cute pumpkin glass jar below!

Keto pumpkin spice latte

Enjoy your favorite fall coffee drink and stick to your diet with this healthier

Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe.

My husband and I recently started keto this past week. What a time to start – this is the time of year when I crave all of those yummy comfort foods and of course my fave pumpkin spice coffee drinks that are full of sugar. So I was determined to come up with a recipe to duplicate my beloved bevy but make it keto friendly. Here is my Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe, at only 2 grams of net carbs.

Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte

Ingredients:

2 cups of fresh brewed coffee
1/4 cup of pumpkin puree
2 Tbsp of butter
1 cup of almond milk
2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice (make sure there’s no added sugar)
3 packets of stevia
2 Tbsp of heavy whipping cream
Optional – MCT oil or coconut oil

You will need:

A handheld frother. I literally have a love affair with mine. Click here for mine.

Directions:

In a pot over medium heat mix together pumpkin puree, butter, almond milk, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. (Make it a bulletproof coffee by adding a little MCT oil or coconut oil!) Bring to a bubble.
While the pumpkin mixture warms in the pot, brew two cups of coffee.
Stir the coffee into the pumpkin mixture stirring well.
Add the heavy whipping cream and stevia.
Using a handheld frother (linking mine here), gently whip all together in the pot.
Pour into two mugs and enjoy either hot or cold.
Optional – Top it off with a little extra whipped cream and some pumpkin pie spice. (To make homemade whipped cream, mix some whipping cream and a sprinkle of stevia in a mixing bowl with a blender until whipped cream forms).

Sooooo much better than the typical sugary version at your local coffee shop and healthier too!
