I know that when most of you all think of chai spices that you automatically think of lattes, but this warm & toasty blend of spices is absolutely amazing in some of your favorite fall recipes as well. Chai spices make the perfect addition to soft & fluffy cinnamon rolls, warm & cozy cocktails, perfectly spiced desserts, and so much more. 






The spicy & comforting blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, & a touch of black pepper complements your favorite flavors of fall (think apple, pumpkin, pears, even chocolate) perfectly.






Each & every fall, I whip up a jar of my DIY Chai Spice Mix & use it in place of just plain ole cinnamon for the entire season. I sprinkle it over toast with butter & a little sugar. I add a teaspoon of it into pancake & waffle batter. I stir a little bit of it into into my morning oatmeal. 






This warm blend of spices instantly gives everything a tasty fall makeover. This DIY spice blend will also work perfectly in each of these 25 cozy chai spiced recipes for fall that I am sharing with you all today. :)






From breakfast to dessert to happy hour, I got you covered with the most cozy & comforting chai spiced recipes to enjoy all throughout fall & the holidays...

When it comes to the flavors of fall, pumpkin is by far my favorite. Now, don't get me wrong. I also happen to love all the apple things & chai spiced goodies (especially when those chai spices happen to be paired with pumpkin ;) ), but pumpkin has always held a special place in my heart. 



While I do love a good pumpkin donut or ice cream, classic pumpkin pie has always been my favorite pumpkin treat. Nothing fancy- just a creamy pumpkin filling nestle inside a homemade pie crust topped with a dollop of whipped cream. 



I could probably eat a slice of pumpkin pie everyday during fall, but I don't think that my waistline would be very pleased with that choice. 



Luckily, I have come up with a way I can enjoy all the deliciousness of a slice pumpkin pie for breakfast, but still keep it on the healthier side with these Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt Pancakes...
