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?

The Castanyada is a famous festivity of Catalonia celebrated between the October 31 and the November 1. It comes from an ancient funeral ritual feast in which families gathered to remember their deads. During this celebration typical foods of the autumn were consumed, such as chestnuts and sweet potatoes, but also traditional sweets such as panellets. These are sweets based on nuts, potatoes, and eggs.

After several years living in Barcelona, I have been able to try many different panellets, and the truth is that they are delicious. For this reason this year I decided to create my recipe for pumpkin panellets and contribute to the long tradition of this beautiful city. The panellets that I propose to you are 100% vegan so that everyone can enjoy them. I hope you like them 🙂
