Instructions

Brew Your Espresso: Prepare 2 shots of espresso or strong coffee using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or French press. A robust coffee base is essential for balancing the pumpkin sweetness.
Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, add the espresso, pumpkin puree, oat milk, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice blend. Mix these together before heating to help the flavors combine uniformly.
Heat Slowly: Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture while stirring constantly with a whisk for 30-40 seconds. Heat it until warm but do not let it boil. Stirring continuously prevents the mixture from sticking or burning.
Sweeten to Taste: Remove from heat and taste the latte. Add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Start with 1 tablespoon if unsure, then adjust gradually.
Froth the Oat Milk: In a separate bowl, froth a small amount of oat milk using a frother or whisk vigorously for at least 30 seconds until creamy and airy. Avoid overheating while frothing to maintain smooth texture.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the warmed latte into your coffee mug. Top with the frothed oat milk. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin spice on top to enhance aroma.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree—not pumpkin pie filling—to avoid added sugars and spices.
Adjust maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
Use a creamy oat milk variant for best frothing and texture.
Do not boil the mixture to preserve espresso flavor and prevent curdling.
Optional: Garnish with a pinch of pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top.
