Every fall, I find myself craving the comforting flavors of pumpkin spice, and this recipe is my go-to for satisfying that craving.
I remember the first time I made it—my kitchen filled with the aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg, and I couldn't wait to share it with friends.
It's a little ritual for me; I love making it on chilly mornings as the leaves change color outside.
Plus, it's a great way to enjoy all those nourishing pumpkin benefits!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond milk for this recipe, but oat milk or soy milk also works beautifully. If you're looking to cut down on sugar, you can reduce the maple syrup or even use a sugar-free sweetener. And don't forget, homemade pumpkin pie spice is super easy to make with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice!
Tips & Notes
- •I love adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors—try it, you'll see!
- •If you like it extra spicy, add a bit of fresh grated ginger or a dash of cayenne for a kick.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll blend in a banana for added creaminess and sweetness—it's a fun twist!
- •For a chocolatey twist, you can stir in a tablespoon of cocoa powder; it’s like a pumpkin mocha!
Storage & Freezing
Keep any leftover pumpkin mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before using it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pumpkin mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for a couple of days. Just heat it up again when you're ready to enjoy.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
- 2
Once the mixture is warm, reduce the heat to low and let it gently simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows those lovely spices to infuse the milk.
- 3
Meanwhile, brew your espresso or strong coffee. I usually do this while the pumpkin mixture is simmering.
- 4
Once the pumpkin mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and use a frother or whisk to give it a nice frothy texture. If you don’t have a frother, a blender works well for this too.
- 5
Pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mugs and then add the frothy pumpkin mixture on top.
- 6
Garnish with a cinnamon stick and, if you’re feeling indulgent, a dollop of coconut whipped cream. Enjoy your cozy drink!
