Ingredients
Scale
Base 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
Toppings
- Dairy-free whipped cream
Instructions
- Brew Coffee or Espresso: Pull your espresso shots or brew your coffee and set it aside nearby, ready to be mixed.
- Heat Pumpkin Mixture: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and oat milk. Whisk frequently as the mixture warms, making sure it does not boil.
- Add Coffee: Once the pumpkin mixture is warm, turn off the heat and stir in the espresso or brewed coffee. Taste and add more maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.
- Blend for Frothiness: For a frothy texture, transfer the warm mixture to an immersion blender cup and blend until frothy, or place in a regular blender and blend for 30 seconds.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the latte into a mug, top with dairy-free whipped cream, and sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top if desired. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin spice latte!
Notes
- For a richer and creamier latte, use canned coconut milk instead of oat milk.
- To make a caffeine-free version suitable for kids, replace the coffee with more non-dairy milk.
- If maple syrup is not available, organic granulated sugar can be used as a substitute.
- Multiply the recipe to serve multiple guests by doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the ingredients.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, substitute with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon plus a pinch of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Cinnamon alone works too if you are short on spices.
