Variations: For an extra flavor twist, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. If you prefer a bit of crunch, mix in some chopped pecans or walnuts.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, make your own mix using ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Agave syrup can be used in place of maple syrup for a slightly different sweetness.
