Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- whipped cream (optional)
- cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is warm and fragrant.
Add the almond milk, ensuring you stir continuously. Heat the mixture until it is steamy and hot, but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup.
Transfer the mixture into a blender. If desired, carefully blend on high for about 30 seconds until the milk is frothy. Be cautious with blending hot liquids; ensure there is proper ventilation to avoid pressure buildup.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug.
Gently pour the frothed pumpkin almond milk over the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam.
Stir to combine the coffee and milk. Top with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick if using and serve immediately.
