Ahh Fall, you gorgeous creature. You’ve been playing hard to get for nine months and now you’ve officially arrived. While you have so many admirable qualities, the 3 things collegiate women love most about you are the signature sweater-boot combo, pumpkin spice lattes (or basically anything pumpkin related for that matter), and all the delicious fall-inspired treats. I could go on and on about all three, but I’m going to focus on the last, but most certainly not least, fall favorite—those yummy baked goods.
The second the leaves change color and I start to smell pumpkin and apples in the air, I immediately have the desire whip up something delicious. Whenever I get the urge to bake, I turn to my trusty sidekick Pinterest to point me in the direction of the most delicious (and not too complicated) recipe. After careful scouring and abundant taste testing, here are six amazing fall treats to make, courtesy of Pinterest and yours truly.
Apple Cider Maple Spice Cupcakes
Apple cider? Check. Maple syrup? Check. Pumpkin spice? Check again. These cupcakes hit all the major fall food groups, so they’re sure to be a hit with everyone.
You can dip so many things in this treat—apples, vanilla wafers, pretzels, graham crackers, a gigantic spoon…it tastes amazing with basically everything.
As the weather turns colder, the only thing better than curling up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate is curling up in a blanket with a plate of these cookies—or both.
Step back, apple cobbler, because this pumpkin pecan version takes the cake. It’s pecan pie meets pumpkin pie meets cobbler, and the result is simply out of this world.
Want the treat without the trick? These muffins give you the sweet, fall taste you’re craving while putting a healthier twist to it.
Calling all my lazy ladies! I completely understand the desire to have a sweet treat while also wanting to put in as little work as possible. The answer to this conundrum is this recipe for 3 ingredient, no bake brownies. I mean, how much better can it get?
Take a break from the stress of school, work, and the inevitable dropping of the temperature, and celebrate fall to the fullest by making one of these tasty treats!
