Still life photography of a warm mug of coffee with frothy topping and spices. Surrounded by autumn leaves and a cozy knit, it evokes a comforting fall atmosphere.

Ingredients

1 cup milk of choice
2 tbsp pumpkin purée
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla extract,
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup brewed coffee
optional whipped topping for serving.

Method

To begin, combine your choice of milk, real pumpkin purée, and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk consistently as the mixture warms, ensuring it does not reach a boil.
Once steaming, stir in the pumpkin pie spice and a splash of vanilla extract for that classic autumn aroma.
Carefully pour the hot pumpkin mixture into a blender or use a handheld frother to whisk the liquid until a thick, airy foam develops on the surface.
Prepare a fresh mug of strong coffee or espresso and slowly pour the frothed pumpkin milk over the top.
Finish your latte with a generous dusting of cinnamon or extra spice before serving warm for the ultimate gluten-free treat.
