It's that time of year when pumpkin springs up everywhere. Pies, lattes, soups, risottos, stuffed - you name it, there's a recipe for it.

I didn't grow up eating a lot of pumpkin, but I must admit as an adult I'm a big fan. It's such a versatile ingredient and adds sweetness and flavour to any recipe!

And there's no autumn recipe more popular than a pumpkin spice latte! Sweet, creamy and lightly spiced, it's a delicious dairy-free latte that's perfect as the weather gets cooler.

INGREDIENTS

Pumpkin puree - Gives a seasonal, sweet flavour to the latte.

Pumpkin spice - Adds spice and a touch of cinnamon to give it that 'fall' flavour! Try making your own pumpkin spice blend here. If you're in a pinch, you can always use cinnamon instead.

Maple syrup - My favourite sweetener. You could also use agave, coconut nectar or regular sugar if preferred.

Dairy-free milk - Makes this latte vegan. My favourites are almond, soy or oat. You can also use coconut if you want a really rich, creamy flavour. Personally, I like to make my pumpkin spice lattes with oat milk.

Espresso (optional) - For a hit of caffeine!

Coconut whipped cream - Also optional but extra fun! I love topping my dairy free lattes with this - it makes them look extra fancy and tastes delicious. You can use store-bought or make your own coconut whipped cream.

EXPERT TIPS

Don't have a blender? - The blender really helps to give this pumpkin spice latte a smooth, silky feel. But if you don't have one feel free to just whisk all ingredients together in a jug or bowl until combined.

Sugar-free - Maple syrup or sugar really adda cosy fall flavour to this latte and in my opinion are fairly essential! That said, if you want to make a sugar-free version you could try using stevia drops or xylitol.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER PUMPKIN PUREE

You'll likely have quite a bit of pumpkin puree left over (because you usually buy it in a 400ml can).

I like to pour it into ice cube moulds and store it in the freezer until I'm ready to use it. That way you can make ice pumpkin spice lattes all season long!

FAQs

Is pumpkin spice latte vegan?

Traditionally, no because dairy milk is used. Starbucks typically use dairy for their lattes, although I believe you can request dairy-free milk now. This recipe however is completely vegan and dairy-free!

What does pumpkin spice latte taste like?

Like a hug in a mug! It's like drinking fall (in the best possible way). Imagine a warm, creamy cup of blended cinnamon, cloves and sweet pumpkin, and that's a pumpkin spice latte!

Does pumpkin spice latte have caffeine?

It's completely up to you! Traditionally, it does contain caffeine as you add coffee, but this iced pumpkin spice latte can be made decaf by omitting it. The taste will just be slightly milder if you don't use it, and the spice flavours will come through more.
