Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice 2% cow's milk used for nutrition data
  • 1/4 cup canned 100% pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Method
 

  1. Pour milk and canned pumpkin into a small bowl or mug. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds until hot, but not boiling.
  2. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and spices. Use frother or whisk for 30 seconds, if desired.
  3. Pour hot coffee into a large mug. Pour milk mixture on top. Sprinkle additional cinnamon on top, if you wish.

Notes

  • You could omit or lower the amount of maple syrup if you'd like. This will decrease total carbohydrates and added sugar intake.
  • You can use about 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice in place of the four spices in the milk mixture if you wish.
  • Don't drink too slowly (or you can keep a spoon nearby)! The pumpkin will naturally separate as the drink sits and sink to the bottom of your mug. There's nothing wrong with this, but the texture at the bottom of the mug can become thick and may be off-putting if you aren't expecting it!
