Ingredients
Scale
Drink Base
- 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
Topping
- dairy-free whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare Coffee: Pull your espresso shots or brew your strong coffee and set it aside nearby to use later.
- Heat Ingredients: In a small pot over medium heat, combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and oat milk. Whisk frequently as the mixture warms up, being careful not to let it boil.
- Add Coffee: Once the mixture is warmed through, turn off the heat and stir in the espresso or brewed coffee. Taste and add more maple syrup if you want extra sweetness.
- Blend to Froth: For a frothy beverage, transfer the warm mixture to an immersion blender cup or a regular blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until frothy.
- Serve: Pour the blended latte into a mug. Top with dairy-free whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For a creamier, richer latte, canned coconut milk can be used instead of oat milk.
- Use soy milk or other preferred plant milks if you do not have oat milk.
- Replace coffee with extra non-dairy milk to make a caffeine-free version suitable for kids.
- If maple syrup is unavailable, organic granulated sugar can be substituted for sweetness.
- Multiply the recipe quantities to serve multiple people at once.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon with a tiny pinch of ground ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, or just cinnamon alone.
