Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons pumpkin purée
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice , more if preferred (See note)
• 2 cups soy milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or preferred sweetener), more to taste
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2-4 shots brewed espresso (sub ⅓ -½ cup strong-brewed coffee)

Instructions

• In a small saucepan, warm the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin spice and salt over low heat. Stir constantly to combine well and prevent burning. About 1-2 minutes.
• Turn up the heat to medium and add the soy milk. Whisk for 3-4 minutes until heated throughout (don’t boil). Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
• Place mixture in a blender and blend on high until smooth. (This will make the milk frothy too)
• Add hot espresso to each mug and pour pumpkin spice mixture on top.
• *Optional: Top with vegan whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!
