Author:Treat yourself to a cozy Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte without leaving home. This delicious dairy-free latte is loaded with sweet, warmly spiced pumpkin flavour and is just the pick-me-up you need on a chilly fall day!
Ingredients
For the pumpkin spice syrup
- 2 to 3 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup
- OR 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
For the latte
- Approx 1 cup (240 ml) plant milk , oat milk is my preference for this
- 2 shots (2 fl oz / 60 ml) espresso or very strong coffee
- vegan whipped cream , as much as your heart desires
- OPTIONAL pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, for decoration
INSTRUCTIONS
If using pumpkin spice syrup
- Add a few tablespoons of syrup to a mug.
- Pour over the hot espresso/coffee then top up with enough hot milk to almost fill your mug. Stir really well to combine.
- Top with dairy-free whipped cream then dust with some pumpkin spice or cinnamon.
- If you want to skip the cream, you can froth the milk with a handheld milk frother, OR pour the syrup, hot milk and coffee into a high speed blender and blend until nice and frothy before pouring into your mug.
If NOT using pumpkin spice syrup
- To a small saucepan add the oat milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar/maple syrup and pumpkin spice. Whisk together well over medium heat until hot.
- Pour the hot espresso/coffee into a mug, then top up with the pumpkin/milk mixture. Top with dairy-free whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin spice or cinnamon.
- If you want to skip the whipped cream you can pour the hot pumpkin milk mixture and the coffee into a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds or so to make it really frothy before pouring into your mug.
NOTES
To make it iced:
- Fill a jar with some ice. Add a few tablespoons of pumpkin spice syrup and the espresso/strong coffee, pop the lid on and shake until foamy.
- Pour the contents of the jar into a glass, add a bit more ice if necessary then top up with creamy oat milk.
