To make the best dairy free pumpkin spice latte, you need a few key items: - 1 cup dairy-free milk (choose almond, oat, or coconut milk) - 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree - 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or another sweetener you like) - 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 shot of brewed espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee These ingredients work together to create a warm and inviting drink. The dairy-free milk gives it a creamy texture. The pumpkin puree adds rich flavor, while the maple syrup sweetens it just right. The spices bring warmth, making every sip a cozy delight. You can make your latte even more unique with these optional items: - Whipped coconut cream for topping - Ground cinnamon for garnish Adding whipped coconut cream creates a lovely finish. A sprinkle of cinnamon gives it that extra festive touch. Feel free to play around with flavors and toppings to find your favorite blend. Dairy-free milk options are great for many reasons. - Almond milk is low in calories and high in vitamin E. - Oat milk has fiber, which is good for digestion. - Coconut milk has healthy fats that may support heart health. These milk choices can be easier to digest and can fit various diets. They often contain fewer allergens than regular milk, making them great for many people. By choosing dairy-free, you can enjoy your pumpkin spice latte without worry. Start by pouring 1 cup of your favorite dairy-free milk into a small saucepan. I love using oat milk for its creaminess, but you can try almond or coconut milk too. Add in 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree. This gives the latte its rich flavor and creamy texture. Next, mix in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. This sweetens your drink naturally. Then, add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice blend and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a warm taste. Whisk these ingredients together over medium heat. Keep stirring until the mixture is hot and slightly frothy. Be careful not to let it boil. This step is key for a smooth latte. While your milk mixture heats, brew your espresso or coffee. You need 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee. If you have an espresso machine, use it! If not, brew a strong coffee with your preferred method. Pour the brewed coffee or espresso into a large mug. This will be the base for your latte. Once your milk mixture is ready, gently pour it over the brewed coffee. Stir to mix everything well. Taste your latte and adjust the sweetness if you want. Add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. For a fun twist, top it with whipped coconut cream. This adds a creamy layer on top. Finally, sprinkle some ground cinnamon over the whipped cream for a festive touch. Enjoy your homemade dairy-free pumpkin spice latte! To get that creamy texture, choose the right dairy-free milk. Almond, oat, and coconut milks work well. Oat milk often gives the best creaminess. Heat the milk mixture slowly. Whisk it gently to create foam. Avoid boiling, as that can change the texture. Maple syrup is my go-to sweetener. It adds a nice depth to the flavor. You can also use agave or honey if you prefer. If you want it sweeter, add more syrup. Taste as you go, and find what works for you. Using espresso gives a stronger flavor. Brew a fresh shot for the best taste. If you prefer coffee, use strong brewed coffee. Aim for a rich brew that can stand up to the milk and spices. Adjust the ratio to match your taste. You can mix espresso and coffee for a unique blend. {{image_2}} You can use many types of milk for this latte. Here are some great choices: - Almond milk - Oat milk - Coconut milk - Soy milk Each milk adds a unique flavor. Almond milk gives a nutty taste. Oat milk is creamy and sweet. Coconut milk adds a tropical touch. Try them all to find your favorite. You can change up the flavors for each season. Here are some fun ideas: - Add a dash of peppermint for winter vibes. - Use chai spice instead of pumpkin spice for an autumn twist. - Try vanilla or caramel syrup for a sweet kick. These small changes can make your latte new and exciting. Get creative and enjoy the fun of mixing flavors in your cup. Want a vegan or low-calorie option? Here’s how to make it happen: - Use a low-calorie sweetener instead of maple syrup. Options include stevia or monk fruit. - Skip the whipped coconut cream for a lighter drink. - Choose unsweetened dairy-free milk to cut extra sugar. These swaps keep your latte tasty while fitting into your diet. You can enjoy your drink without worry! If you have extra pumpkin spice latte, store it in the fridge. Use a sealed container to keep it fresh. It will last for about three days. When you want to enjoy it again, check for any changes in smell or texture. To reheat your latte, pour it into a saucepan. Heat it on low to keep the flavors. Stir it gently to mix the ingredients. Avoid boiling, as this can change the taste. If you prefer, you can also use a microwave. Heat it in short bursts, stirring in between. This way, it warms evenly. You can make a big batch if you love this drink. Just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you want. After making it, let it cool. Then, pour it into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers. This method makes it easy to thaw just what you need. When you want a quick latte, just thaw a cube in the fridge overnight. Then, reheat and enjoy! No, regular milk is not dairy-free. This recipe focuses on dairy-free options. You can use almond, oat, or coconut milk. These give a great taste without dairy. Each type has its own flavor and texture. Almond milk is nutty, oat milk is creamy, and coconut milk is rich. The best milk depends on your taste. Almond milk is light and nutty. Oat milk offers creaminess and sweetness. Coconut milk is thick and rich, perfect for a latte. If you want a thicker drink, use full-fat coconut milk. Try different kinds to find your favorite. To make this latte sugar-free, skip the maple syrup.
