This month always feels like a little turning point. Summer is not quite gone, but suddenly I’m craving slower mornings, something good for breakfast, and a cozy cup of coffee a little more often.
And September gives us two very good reasons for exactly that.
It’s National Breakfast Month and National Honey Month. Honestly, I think those two belong together perfectly.
Let's start with breakfast
If mornings are getting a little busier again, having something delicious ready to go makes them so much better.
My Angel Food Cake Muffins are light, fluffy, and just sweet enough to make breakfast feel like a treat.
For something a little heartier, there are my Fruit and Nut Muffins, perfect with your morning coffee.
And if you are firmly on Team Crunchy Breakfast, try my Cinnamon Granola. It is crisp, warmly spiced, and already has that little hint of fall that fits September perfectly.
And then there's honey... 🍯
Honey is one of those ingredients that can completely change a cup of coffee without making things complicated.
If you have never tried it in a latte, September is a pretty good time to start.
My Honey Latte is the simplest of the three and lets that lovely honey flavor shine.
If you are already ready for cinnamon and cozy fall flavors, make the Cinnamon Honey Latte.
Or, if you are not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet, there is my Honey Lavender Latte. Floral, creamy, and just a little bit summery.
And somehow, those three coffees feel very September to me.
A little summer.
A little fall.
And plenty of good coffee in between. ☕
So instead of trying to celebrate every food holiday on the calendar this month, I’m keeping September simple:
Good breakfasts, honey-sweetened coffee, and the first little hints of cozy season.
Which one would you make first?
Talk soon!
