Recipe from Stacey Fogarty-Brown MA, RD, CSP

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup whole-fat milk
  • 2–3 Tbsp pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or ¼ tsp cinnamon, ⅛ tsp nutmeg, ⅛ tsp ginger)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee or 1 shot of espresso

Topped with a dollop of whipped cream (optional, but highly recommended!)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat the milk mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin spice. Heat until steaming, but don’t boil.
  2. Add flavor: remove from heat, then whisk in vanilla extract.
  3. Blend for froth (optional): for a creamy coffee shop feel, blend the hot milk mixture with a handheld frother or carefully in a blender.
  4. Combine with coffee: pour hot coffee or espresso into a mug, then add the pumpkin milk mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Top and enjoy: add whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice or cinnamon.
