Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee or espresso
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Brew one cup of strong coffee or espresso and keep it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon powder, and ground nutmeg.
Whisk the mixture continuously until it begins to steam and is well blended, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Once steamed, remove the saucepan from heat and use an immersion blender to froth the milk mixture until foamy. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend for about 30 seconds.
Divide the brewed coffee or espresso between two mugs.
Pour the foamed pumpkin milk mixture over the coffee in each mug, using a spoon to hold back some of the foam for the top.
Spoon the remaining foam over the top and sprinkle a pinch of additional pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy pumpkin spice latte!
