At the beginning of a new season I always feel inspired, creative and overwhelmed with ideas. I do grumble a little (ok maybe alot!) when summer comes to an end, but when this has passes I welcome autumn with huge open arms and embrace it fully. Autumn is a season full of beautiful and rich colours, seasonal fruits and vegetables, an abundance of wonderful fabrics and textures and some amazing food.
Here’s just a small snippet of some of the things about autumn that is inspiring right now:
On a cold crisp morning like today I was definitely feeling inspired by all things autumnal and decided to whip up a breakfast worthy to start such a beautiful Sunday…
*Apple Cinnamon Crumble Pancakes*
Ingredients (vegan, makes 6 pancakes)
- 1 cup of soya flour
- 1 1/2 cups of vanilla rice milk
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 2 tsps of almond butter
- 1 chopped apple
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/3 tsp of nutmeg
- 1/2 of ground ginger
- a granola of your choice
Mix all of the ingredients together (except the apple and granola) to make a smooth batter. Once everything is well combined stir in the chopped apple pieces. Pour into a hot prepared frying pan in equal portions to make small pancake shapes. When the batter appears to form bubbles on the surface it mean that the pancakes are ready to flip over to cook on the other side.
I served mine with an extra dusting of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, almonds, apple slices and some pink apple granola for some added crunch. These were so delicious and reminded me of everything that I love about autumn.

Oh, those apple pancakes look like the perfect autumn food! And I love that yellow coat, I wish I could find something like that here. I love how colourful and inspirational season autumn is, it is full of possibilities 🙂
The coat is stunning! I really want something similar. I love autumn too. 🙂
Lovely images, I like to do that for each month and just posted something similar on my Tumblr account. I’m a visual person so stuff like that is great for me! Those pancakes look lovely!
I love picking out snippets of inspiration and storing them too. I love to look back at them when I’m in a creative mood.

I love autumn and winter!! I love cosy days in, and wrapping up warm for walks! It also makes me appreciate my bikram yoga more, going in out of the cold!! Xx
I have NO idea, but I want one too! 🙂
Those pancakes look lovely 🙂 I love coming in to the warm after being outside in the cold.

I love autumn so much! I’m finding it hard to find time to read at the moment though – too much working. :(. Perhaps I shall make time tomorrow.
I’m struggling with the reading too, but when I do find the time it makes me appreciate it a little bit more.

I am currently inspired by delhi fashion week that i have been attending for 2 days. crazy bright colours on the catwalk, the total opposite of your pictures but that makes me enjoy your website even more!
Thanks! I love the colours of India, hopefully I will get to go there some day.
