Pumpkin Spice Coffee
This version is naturally low in sugar, rich in antioxidants from the spices, and full of fiber from real pumpkin. The balance of espresso with creamy milk and warm spices makes it taste indulgent, but it’s still under 70 calories per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup barista-style almond milk (or oat milk for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso
- 1 ½ tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or coconut sugar, to taste
- 1 Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and sweetener.
- Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Froth with a handheld frother or stirrer until smooth and foamy.
- Pour over coffee or espresso, stir, and serve hot—or let cool and pour over ice.
NOTES
