How much money do you spend on coffee/specialty drinks at cafes? Why not save that well earned SBD and make a better, healthier version at home?!
My poppa bear was visiting me here in Bali and although we have some of the most amazing coffee beans in the world here, he would drive everyday 15 minutes into town to get a certain coffee from a certain franchise and nothing could stop him- not even the $5USD price tag!
Not this gal!
However, one day he brought me into the cafe with him and got my cravings all wrapped around a certain Pumpkin Spiced Latte... drool.
You all know though that 1) I'm vegan so latte just means over complication in public and 2) I don't do processed sugar so that means all the liquids and syrups were off the menu too.
No spiced latte for me. :(
Not so fast!
This is the kind of stuff I live for (as you know by now!) soooo, you guessed it! I MADE A HEALTHY AT HOME VERSION! 😍😍😍
Want me to share the secrets with you?
Here you go! Merry Pumpkin Spiced Latte Day!
What you need: (serves 4 small tea cups)
- 1 cup of pumpkin (I used fresh, boiled local pumpkin)
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbs cinnamon
- 1-2 tsp nutmeg
- 1-2 tsp all spice
- 1 tsp star anise powder
What to do:
- Put all of the spices into a skillet and turn on heat to medium (can use about a tsp of coconut oil if you'd like)
- After about 2 minutes, you'll smell the lovely spices.
- Add in the almond (or other nut milk).
- Stir together until heated thoroughly.
- Combine the milk mixture with the pumpkin and blend.
- Serve immediately with some cinnamon on top! Better yet, garnish with a cinnamon stick and it'll be just like that fancy little cafe!
- Enjoy :)
