I don't know about you guys but I'm sooooo excited fall is just around the corner. I'm ready for boots, scarves, windows open, hot chocolate, coffee on the patio......but most of all pumpkin!!! I love the smell of pumpkin lingering through the house while baking.
This recipe is a great pre or post workout snack. Or your late night goodie. ;-)
