Oh My Gourd

Like clockwork, the amount of pumpkin spice-related objects in the world spikes the first week of October. We can't judge: We love a good stack of pumpkin pancakes or a savory pumpkin salad.

Here are the best pumpkin spice recipes on the internet, from a homemade latte to fragrant French toast.

① This oatmeal tastes like a slice of pie dive-bombed into your breakfast bowl.

② Do your wallet a favor and make a pumpkin spice latte at home, rather than spend a fortune at coffee shops.

③ Pumpkin spice marshmallows are a one-way ticket to perfect fall s'mores.

④ Just because it's getting cooler doesn't mean you stop eating ice cream—especially if it incorporates actual pumpkin and freshly grated nutmeg.

⑤ Spice up ordinary French toast with a double dose of pumpkin flavor.

⑥ When you want a hot drink but could do without espresso's caffeine, opt for a mug of this hot chocolate instead.

⑦ Pumpkin pie spice can go on everything from ice cream to buttery pasta sauce, so make your own jar to last all season long.
