The Pumpkin spice latte is a trendy drink that was created by the Starbucks coffee chain. This drink is a mixture of coffee, milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, spices, and cream; Even though it is delicious, it is a drink very rich in sugars, so I have created my healthy version of this recipe to be able to take it daily.

Caffeine-free
While the original Pumpkin spice latte is with coffee, my version is caffeine-free as I use a coffee substitute. You can use the coffee substitute that you like best.

Carnival is coming, and during this time we can find a lot of original and tasty sweets. Each country and each region has its own traditions. This year, I decided to prepare a recipe from Canarian tradition: the carnival pumpkin pancakes.

It is an ancient recipe, dating back a few centuries when, on carnival dates, men dressed as women and women as men. They went from house to house where they were offered carnival pancakes and rice pudding. These pancakes are usually served with honey, although they are excellent sprinkled only with cinnamon or even alone. The recipe that I propose, today is my healthy version and much lighter. I hope you like it. What about you going to eat at the carnival?
