A recent fall make & take essential oils class prompted a little creativity with essential oil infused recipes.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins – I love the ease of making Weight Watchers muffins (and the consistency of the batter).
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. can of pumpkin
- cake mix (spice, carrot or vanilla)
- clove essential oil, nutmeg essential oil, ginger essential oil
- (or Thieves essential oil)
Directions: Simply add a 15 oz. can of pumpkin to a cake mix (I chose French vanilla this time) and mix. Adding water is optional. I did add about 3/4 c. Mix in 2-4 drops of essential oils. Spoon into muffin cups and bake 20-25 minutes. I topped mine with cream cheese frosting and dust with powdered cinnamon or embellish with edible acorn (Hershey’s Kiss, Nutter Butter mini for top and chocolate chip…but obviously no longer low cal with toppers). Makes 24 muffins!
Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Party Mix
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of each Chex cereal: wheat, cinnamon, honey nut
- crushed white chocolate covered pretzels (I used 2 small snack sized bags)
- bag of pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 drops of cinnamon bark essential oil
- 2 packages of mini waffle bowls (24)
Directions: Add everything to a large bowl (with lid) or bag. Shake. Serve in mini-waffle cone bowls.
Apple Cider Punch (adapted from BHG)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 gal. apple cider
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 750 ml bottle of sparkling grape juice
- serve over ice with a drop of cinnamon bark or lemon essential oil
Add everything to punch bowl or beverage decanter and stir.
Cheese & Cracker Tray – add your choice of essential oils to create a cream cheese spread, a delicious dip or a drop or two to hummus. Add some fresh organic fruit and nuts, etc.
Pin for future reference!
