Takes 15 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 240 ml oat milk 1 cup
- 60 ml strong brewed coffee or espresso ¼ cup
- 60 ml pumpkin purée ¼ cup – homemade or canned
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp pecans roughly chopped
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Blend:
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground allspice optional
Instructions
Heat the milk and pumpkin purée:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 240ml (1 cup) oat milk and 60ml (¼ cup) pumpkin purée. Stir constantly until heated through but not boiling, about 3–5 minutes.
Add the flavourings:
- Once the oat milk is hot, stir in 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp pumpkin spice, and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Continue to heat and stir until well combined, for another 1–2 minutes.
Make the coffee:
- Brew 60ml (¼ cup ) of strong coffee or espresso. Divide it equally between two mugs.
Combine and froth:
- Pour the warm pumpkin milk mixture over the coffee in the mugs. Use a frother or whisk to create a light foam on top of the latte.
Top with pecans and serve:
- Top each latte with a generous spoonful of whipped cream, if desired. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp roughly chopped pecans on each and a light dusting of pumpkin spice for extra flavour.
Enjoy!
- Serve your pumpkin maple latte warm, and enjoy the autumn flavours with each sip.
