    Homemade Pumpkin Nilla Wafers

    September 8, 2015 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Nilla wafer cookies get a makeover for the fall season with these homemade pumpkin nilla wafers. 

    There is something missing in the aisles. Everything has gone pumpkin. The orange jack o'lantern has grown from a mere 2.2 million dollar industry several years ago to close to 13 million in sales last year. But one little yellow box has failed to go orange. That's right, Nilla Wafers have maintained their yellow brilliance even in the darkest of winter.

    But not anymore. They are the one cookie I've always thought would be amaaaazing infused with a little bit of pumpkin and spice. And today, they are.

    About Me

    minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes! many recipes are gluten free, dairy free and FODMAP friendly too!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!
