Best Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Foods? Yes, Please!

Pumpkin spice is probably best known for coffee, but there is more to breakfast than beverages.

In recent years, food makers have been rolling out pumpkin spice breakfast foods to capture the never-ending craving for this taste of autumn.

But what pumpkin spice breakfast foods taste the best?

To find out, we tried out several new pumpkin spice breakfast cereals, toaster pastries and cookies. (It was a tough job, but someone had to do it).

How We Pick Products To Recommend

We often turn to our readers (3 million strong!) to find products to recommend. We ask our parent readers for their favorites and consider their real-world experiences in our recommendations.

When we test a product, we always purchase it with our our own monies. We do not take free samples, as we believe that compromises our independence.

We also fact check manufacturer information with our own measurements. If a maker claims a product weighs X pounds, we will weigh it to make sure. If the battery life is supposed to be six hours, we will see how the stands up in the real world.

In some cases, we will do additional interviews with experts in the field to get additional feedback on products.

To get hands-on time with products, we regularly meet one-on-one with gear companies and even tour manufacturing facilities. (When we do this, we pay our own travel expenses).
