Ingredients:

• 2 shots espresso (or sub 1/2 cup hot freshly brewed coffee but I prefer espresso)
• 1 cup milk of choice, preferably a milk that froths well (we love oat milk)
• 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, to sweeten
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream for topping (optional but recommended)

Instruction:

1. Pour milk into a small pot and heat over medium-low heat until it is hot and almost simmering, but do not boil the milk.
2. Make your espresso and pour it into a large mug or glass mason jar. Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla and stir until well combined.
3. Use a milk frother to froth your milk for about 30 seconds or until foamy, then pour into the mug on top of the pumpkin espresso mixture. Reserve the extra foam, and spoon it on top.
4. Feel free to top with whipped cream if you wanna get a little fancy. Sprinkle with a little extra pumpkin spice or cinnamon.

The Best Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

Make the popular coffee house pumpkin spice latte at home. Canned or homemade pumpkin puree both work well in this recipe. Here’s our recipe for making pumpkin puree from scratch. Recipe Update: Since publishing this recipe in 2012, some readers have commented that the latte doesn’t have a strong enough pumpkin flavor. If you are worried about this, one thing you might try is to cook the pumpkin puree down before adding it to the milk mixture. (I’d simmer it until reduced by one-third). This way, the pumpkin flavor will concentrate. I’d imagine that you could do this in a larger batch and then keep the concentrated puree in the fridge for when you are ready to make your next latte. I hope that helps! – Joanne
