I know pumpkin spice has been super trendy ever since a certain coffee shop got a hold of it, but I’ve been a pumpkin “Spice Girl’ back since 5rd grade when I brought home a pumpkin spice muffin recipe to replicate that my class made for a Thanksgiving feast (that was 40 years ago, y’all). sugar free pumpkin spice latte with collagen
