What Do You Need to Make Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin puree: To make a pumpkin latte, you can use homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree. I usually use homemade and fresh pumpkin puree.
- Spice: I really like the combination of cinnamon, ginger, and a little nutmeg along with the pumpkin flavor.
- Milk: You can use dairy milk or non-dairy milk for this latte. I used barista oat milk in this recipe because it creates a velvety foam.
- Coffee: A traditional latte is made with espresso shots mixed with steamed milk and a creamy layer of foam on top. Some people prefer to make a latte using strongly brewed coffee instead.
- Vanilla extract: Do not forget to add a little vanilla extract.
- Sugar: Use, brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey to sweeten your latte.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Latte With Oat Milk
- For the pumpkin puree, peel the pumpkin, cut it into small cubes, and cook it in the steamer for 15 minutes. Puree with a fork or blender.
- My pumpkin spice consists of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. You can change the spice measurements according to your taste.
- In a small pot or saucepan heat all the ingredients(oat milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and spice mix) except espresso on the stove until the steam rises. But make sure you do not boil the milk! You can use granulated sugar or brown sugar instead of maple syrup.
- Pour the mixture into glass cups and top off with espresso. Serve with whipped cream and sprinkle with ground cinnamon or spice mix.
Pro Tips
- Oat milk was used here, but any milk, dairy, or non-dairy will work just fine. Use barista oat milk for a foamier texture and creamier latte.
- If you’re looking to make an iced pumpkin spice latte with oat milk at home first fill the glasses with ice cubes. Combine oat milk, spices, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree in a blender until frothy. Add the milk mixture to the glass and finally top it off with espresso.
