In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and bring out their flavors.
Add the milk to the saucepan and whisk together with the pumpkin mixture. Heat until the milk is steaming, but do not let it boil. Stir frequently.
Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the milk mixture until frothy. Be careful if using a regular blender to allow a vent for steam to escape.
Pour the brewed espresso or strong coffee into a large mug.
Pour the frothed pumpkin milk over the coffee in the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon if desired and then spooning it on top.
Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your low sodium homemade pumpkin latte.
