Description
This homemade pumpkin spice latte is creamy, naturally sweet, and full of rich, comforting flavors — perfect for the colder season. Made with real pumpkin, almond milk, and warming spices, this dairy-free latte is low in natural sugars and packed with nutrients.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup baked pumpkin (skin removed) – baked sweet potato can be used as a substitute
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, divided
- 1 date, chopped
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or more, to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of vanilla
- 1 cup strong coffee (or espresso, for a stronger flavor)
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the baked pumpkin (or sweet potato), 1 cup of almond milk, chopped date, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan, add the coffee, and heat over low-medium heat, whisking regularly. Heat until it reaches your preferred drinking temperature.
- (Optional) If you’d like a frothy topping, heat the remaining 1 cup of almond milk in a separate small saucepan. Use a handheld frother to create foam. Otherwise, add both cups of milk with the rest of the ingredients.
- Serve the latte in mugs or glasses. If you frothed the milk, pour the warm latte first, then top with the froth. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Enjoy warm, or store in the fridge and serve cold over ice.
