A healthier, delicious homemade take on pumpkin spice latte made in 1 pot with simple ingredients and ready in 10 minutes!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dairy-free milk we recommend cashew milk, but coconut or hemp milk would also work well
- 1/4 cup water
- 2-3 Tbsp pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie mix
- 1/2 heaping tsp ground cinnamon *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes
- 1 healthy pinch ground nutmeg *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes
- 1 healthy pinch ground allspice *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes
- 1 healthy pinch ground clove *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes
- 1 healthy pinch ground cardamom optional // *if using pumpkin pie spice, see notes
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ – 2 tsp maple syrup more or less to taste (or sub stevia to taste)
- 1 shot espresso or sub 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, or 1 ½ -2 tsp Dandy Blend for caffeine-free option
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
FOR SERVING optional
- Coconut whipped cream
- Pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- If adding coffee or espresso, prepare at this time and set aside.
HOT VERSION
- To a small saucepan, add dairy-free milk and water. Bring to a simmer, then add pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, clove, cardamom (optional), black pepper, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.
- Note: A little separation is natural with both the pumpkin and dairy-free milk, so whisk/stir as needed to smooth.
- Add coffee, espresso, or dandy blend and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more spices to taste, espresso coffee or dandy blend for stronger coffee flavor, or maple syrup for sweetness.
ICED VERSION
- Add all ingredients to a jar with a lid and stir to combine. Then add ice, secure lid, and shake vigorously to combine — about 30 seconds.
FOR SERVING
- Serve as is, or top with coconut whipped cream and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
- Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Because of the pumpkin purée and dairy-free milk, separation is natural. Simply stir before serving or whisk when reheating on the stovetop.
