Ingredients
2 cups milk (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Optional: Whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
Place a small saucepan over medium heat and add the milk and pumpkin puree.
Whisk constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is steaming and the puree is fully incorporated.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
Continue to whisk until well combined and fragrant.
Remove from heat once the milk is heated through, avoiding a full boil.
Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently on the stove. Use full-fat oat or coconut milk for a vegan, creamier result. For a frothier texture, use a handheld milk frother after heating. Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick or cocoa powder for a mocha twist.
