Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 cup Barista oat milk or other creamy plant milk
- 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- dairy-free whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Coffee: Pull your espresso shots or brew your coffee and set it nearby ready for use.
- Warm Pumpkin Mixture: In a small pot over medium heat, combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and oat milk. Whisk frequently as it warms to combine flavors but avoid boiling.
- Add Coffee: Once the mixture is warm, turn off the heat and stir in the espresso or brewed coffee. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
- Blend for Froth: (Optional but recommended) Transfer the warm mixture to an immersion blender cup or regular blender and blend for about 30 seconds until frothy.
- Serve: Pour the latte into a mug, top with dairy-free whipped cream, and sprinkle a little more pumpkin pie spice on top if desired. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a creamier latte, canned coconut milk works wonderfully instead of oat milk.
- To make it caffeine free for kids, substitute the coffee with additional plant milk.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with organic granulated sugar if preferred.
- Scale up the recipe as needed to serve multiple guests by doubling or more.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon plus small pinches of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg or just cinnamon alone.
