Homemade Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte #Foodiemamas
Good morning readers! Today, I’m excited to join this month’s Foodie Mamas recipe roundup. Each month, the Foodie Mama group of food bloggers each posts a recipe on a theme, and this month’s theme is pumpkin – completely fitting for October, don’t you think? There are so many delicious recipes to check out, so make sure to visit the other Foodie Mama’s posts and enjoy all the pumpkin goodness!
I’m a simple gal. A good hot cup of black coffee is my go-to, but there is something about fall that makes me consider hot chocolate and lattes more often. I have never really gotten behind pumpkin spiced lattes from chain coffee shops, even though I try them once a year to see if my tastes have changed. I think it’s because I find them too sweet, even when I always ask for a half pump.
That said, I love pumpkin in general – pumpkin pies, pumpkin loaves, and pumpkin cupcakes. Yum! So I have been making my own healthy pumpkin spice lattes. A lightened up, dairy-free version of the infamous PSL.
Making this dairy-free pumpkin spice latte is as easy as combining coconut milk (or other milk), a few scoops of pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and maple syrup into saucepan and warming it all up to the perfect, comforting temperature.
Once the mixture is heated up, you pour it over a 1/3 filled cup of coffee or espresso, give it a stir and top with some hot frothy coconut milk or coconut whipped cream. Mmmmm….it’s like autumn in a mug.
