Pumpkin Spice? BASIC. Jack-o-lantern spice? EDGY. I love a PSL, but a Jack-o-lantern spice latte is the dark warming, spicy latte (okay, mocha really) for the hardcore Halloween lover. No pumpkin.

Well, we already know that I hate baking, which to be honest, does not make any sense, even to me! But this Gingerbread Coconut Butter surely makes me want to bake more…
Just so we are clear, I am a lazy-ass bitch who doesn’t like baking. BUT! These Green Banana Flour Mug Buns are a gluten-free and Paleo game changer.
