Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped coconut cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. Once brewed, set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of almond milk and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree. Stir well to combine the pumpkin puree with the almond milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently heat the mixture, stirring frequently. Do not let it boil; you want to warm it until it’s hot but not bubbling.
- Once the almond milk and pumpkin mixture is heated, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed and heated through.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the warm pumpkin spice mixture into the brewed coffee. Stir well to combine the flavors.
- If desired, top your latte with whipped coconut cream for an extra indulgent touch. You can either make your own whipped coconut cream or use a store-bought version.
- Serve immediately in your favorite mug and enjoy your delicious Easy Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte!
Tips
- Use freshly brewed, high-quality coffee for the best flavor profile
- Opt for pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- Adjust maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level
- For extra creaminess, use barista-style almond milk
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, make your own by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves
- For a more luxurious topping, chill your coconut cream can overnight before whipping for better texture
- Experiment with different plant-based milks like oat or cashew for unique flavor variations
