Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix
- 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk of choice (almond, soy, coconut, cashew)
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, or 1–2 shots of espresso
- Optional: Vegan Whipped Cream
Instructions
-
In a small pot over medium heat, add the maple syrup and pumpkin puree. Stir, then add the pumpkin pie spice mix and the non-dairy milk. Warm, but do not bring to a boil.
-
Once warm, turn off the heat and add the coffee (or espresso shots), and stir. Taste for sweetness: Add more maple syrup for a sweeter drink; I found 2 tablespoons to be just right.
-
Pour into a mug and, if desired, add some vegan whipped cream. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top and enjoy.
Notes
- If you want a really creamy and rich beverage, use canned coconut milk.
- To keep it caffeine-free for kids, replace the 1/2 cup of coffee with more non-dairy milk.
- You can also just use organic granulated sugar instead of maple syrup if that’s what you have.
- Double, triple, or quadruple the recipe to make enough for a group!
- Don’t have pumpkin spice mix? Use this instead: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a tiny pinch of ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. You can just use cinnamon if you’re short on spices.
