It’s topped with optional whipped cream and extra pumpkin spice for that perfect festive finish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Latte

  • 2 shots espresso (or substitute 1/2 cup hot freshly brewed coffee)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (preferably oat milk for frothing)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (start with 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, to sweeten
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional but recommended)

For Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice (Optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: Pour 1 cup of your chosen milk into a small pot and heat it over medium-low heat until hot and almost simmering. Be careful not to let it boil to preserve the best flavor and texture.
  2. Prepare the Coffee Base: Brew 2 shots of espresso, or use 1/2 cup of hot freshly brewed coffee if espresso isn’t available. Pour the coffee into a large mug or glass mason jar. Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Froth the Milk: Use a milk frother to froth the heated milk for about 30 seconds or until it develops a nice foam. Pour the frothed milk over the pumpkin coffee mixture in the mug. Reserve some of the foam and spoon it on top for a creamy finish.
  4. Add Toppings: If desired, top your pumpkin spice latte with whipped cream. Sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for added aroma and flavor to elevate the presentation and taste.

Notes

  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, make your own by combining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice.
  • For best results, use milk that froths well such as oat milk, but feel free to use any preferred milk or dairy-free alternative.
  • This recipe can be adjusted in sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup from 1 to 2 tablespoons.
  • The latte is best enjoyed immediately while warm and frothy.
