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.
