Pumpkin pie spice is a delicious and simple blend of spices that you can add to breads, cakes and apple sauce or use to make a pumpkin spice latte for you and a warm spicy milk for your little ones. We’ve even made a version of our chocolate balls featuring this delicious spice, spicy ginger & coconut balls.
Spices are a great way to add taste instead of adding sugary sweetness and they are healthy too. Cinnamon has anti-bacterial properties and is known to lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugar. It is also high in manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium. Ginger helps with digestion and is an anti-viral so it is used to boost immunity.
This is a recipe you can make with your toddler or child, he will love pouring the spices into a bowl and helping you mix them. Cinnamon is quite a strong spice and some are allergic to it, so we have put it as an 8-month plus recipe to err on the side of caution.
