Welcome to the season of Vegan pumpkin spice lattes. It’s also the season for Pumpkin spice scones, pumpkin spice donuts, pumpkin spice muffins and pretty much everything pumpkin spice. Chances are you have seen at least 5 people walking down the street with their Starbucks branded takeout cups today. But you know what this craze is missing? A vegan version (unless you’re in the UK) and REAL pumpkin!!! Syrup is great, but it belongs on pancakes and not in my coffee.
I wanted a healthier version that I could make at home, so I made this delicious vegan pumpkin spice latte recipe!
I highly recommend you try this one at home. Not only will you save lots of money, but you will know exactly what is in it! Using real pumpkin really does set this apart from the rest. Not to mention the vegan whipped cream you don’t have to feel guilty about or miss out on!
- 2 cups non-dairy milk of choice (I like oat)
- 2 tbsp pure pumpkin (fresh or canned)
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsppumpkin pie spice, plus more to garnish
- 2 shots espresso, or ½ cup of strong brewed coffee
- Coconut whipped cream, to garnish
- In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together milk, pumpkin and maple syrup; and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming.
- Remove from heat, stir in your vanilla and pumpkin pie spice and transfer to your blender and blend for 15 seconds until foamy.
- Pour espresso into a large mug and add the spiced pumpkin milk.
- Top with whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top. Voila, a fall-inspired treat that you can feel good about!
I made this again this fall but I used black tea concentrate instead of coffee and it was equally bomb! Topped off with vegan whip of course:)
I never liked anything to do with pumpkin but this latte is AMAZING. I LOVE it! Thank you for this receipt. Now, I am definitely going to try out the other pumpkin receipts. Wishing you much success.
This recipe was delicious!!! I can’t wait to make it again and again this Fall!
Pumpkin spice latte. Great recipe.
So perfect!
