Description
A cozy and creamy Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte that combines pumpkin puree, warm spices, and rich espresso with dairy-free oat milk, perfect for a comforting fall-inspired drink.
Ingredients
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 aside nearby so it’s ready when your milk mixture is warm.
- Heat Pumpkin Mixture: In a small pot over medium heat, combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and oat milk. Whisk frequently to blend the ingredients and warm the mixture evenly. Be careful not to let it boil, as that can affect the texture and flavor.
- Add Coffee and Adjust Sweetness: Turn off the heat once the mixture is warm. Stir in the espresso or brewed coffee. Taste the latte, and add more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Froth the Latte: For a creamy and frothy texture, blend the warm latte mixture using an immersion blender for about 30 seconds or pour it into a regular blender and blend until frothy.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended latte into a mug. Top generously with dairy-free whipped cream and sprinkle a little more pumpkin pie spice on top if desired. Enjoy your comforting vegan pumpkin spice latte!
Notes
- Use Barista oat milk or any creamy plant-based milk to get a rich and smooth texture.
- Adjust the level of maple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
- Blending the latte is optional but highly recommended for a frothy, café-style finish.
- For a caffeine-free version, substitute espresso/coffee with hot water or steamed plant milk and add a double dose of pumpkin spice.
- Make sure not to boil the pumpkin mixture to preserve the flavors and avoid curdling.
