Fall vibes are in full swing, and I’m here to spill the beans (literally) on my latest cozy obsession: a Harvest Oat Pumpkin Latte that’s as comforting as your favorite sweater and more delicious than a crisp autumn morning.

When the autumn leaves start to descend, I adore concocting my Harvest Oat Pumpkin Latte, which is delicious and dairy-free. This warm blend of autumn goodness has brewed coffee with creamy oat milk; the essence of pumpkin puree defines its flavor.

How to Make this Harvest Oat Pumpkin Latte Dairy Free Recipe

1. Make your preferred coffee, intending for it to have a robust flavor that pairs nicely with the other ingredients.

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix the oat milk and pumpkin puree well. Heat the mixture until it is thoroughly warm but do not let it come to a boil.

3. Add the ingredients below to the saucepan; stir to combine.

4. Take the saucepan off the heat and put the brewed coffee into the mixture. Stir gently to combine.

5. With a milk frother or immersion blender, froth and smooth the mixture. It should be frothy and smooth.

6. Sip the latte and then decide if you need to sweeten it further. If you do, add more maple syrup until it tastes just right. Add it slowly and stir well; it has a tendency to sink.

7. Fill a mug almost to the top with the latte, but don’t fill it all the way. You want to leave room for some froth.

8. Add a pinch of sea salt to the top to make the flavors pop.

FAQ

• Can I use a different type of milk?Indeed, it is permissible to swap oat milk for any nondairy milk of your choice, such as almond milk or soy milk.
• Is there a way to make this recipe caffeine-free?Of course, you can utilize decaffeinated coffee or substitute coffee with a caffeine-free coffee alternative.
• How can I make this recipe sweeter?An additional tablespoon of maple syrup can be added, or you can sweeten it with a bit of your favorite sugar substitute.
• What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?It’s possible to create your own version by blending small quantities of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
• Is fresh pumpkin puree better than canned for this recipe?Both options are perfectly fine, but there’s something about using the canned version that makes life so much easier. The consistency is always spot on with canned puree, which is not always the case with fresh pureed pumpkin. And we all know how mixing a frothy something into a cake batter can affect the end result.
• Can I prepare this latte in advance?The mixture of pumpkin can be made ahead of time, but it is far better if you make it a day or two before serving. The chilling process allows the flavors to meld. Once you’re ready to fill your pie shell, let the mixture come to room temperature first.
• What can I use if I don’t have vanilla extract?Omit it or replace it with a hint of cinnamon or almond extract for a different flavor profile.
