Ingredients
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 to keep warm.
- Heat Ingredients: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice mix, and oat milk. Whisk frequently while warming, but do not allow the mixture to boil.
- Combine Coffee and Mixture: Once the mixture is warm, turn off the heat and stir in the espresso or brewed coffee. Taste and add more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter latte.
- Blend the Latte: (Optional but recommended) Transfer the warm mixture to an immersion blender cup and blend until frothy, or pour into a regular blender and blend for about 30 seconds to create a creamy texture.
- 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. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer, creamier latte, substitute oat milk with canned coconut milk or use soy milk according to your preference.
- To make this caffeine-free for kids or sensitive drinkers, replace the coffee with additional non-dairy milk.
- If maple syrup is not available, organic granulated sugar can be used as an alternative sweetener.
- This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled to serve more people.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, substitute with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon plus small pinches of ground ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, or simply use cinnamon alone if spices are limited.
