Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened cashew OR almond milk - I typically use cashew, it tends to be the creamiest
- 1/4 cup pumpkin purée NOT pie filling
- 1 tablespoon honey and/or pure maple syrup - I like using just a little of both
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon grass fed butter substitute with more coconut oil or coconut butter for vegan option
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups hot strongly brewed coffee
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A couple shakes of ground cardamom
- A dash of ground ginger
- A dash of ground cloves
- A dash of ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Heat cashew (or almond) milk in a small sauce pan over medium low heat. Be careful not to boil the milk, and once it’s become hot, remove it from heat. Add all ingredients, including heated milk, to a blender. Blend for several seconds or until fully combined. A bit of froth should’ve formed after the mixture settles. Give it a quick taste test and adjust accordingly if you wish!
- For example: add more spices if you fancy // if you want it creamier, then add a smidge more butter and/or coconut oil // and if you want it as sweet as Starbucks, instead of adding more honey or syrup, use Stevia to sweeten it to taste! A bit more maple syrup will do the trick too, BUT, it’ll lessen its qualifiers as “Paleo” LOL – enjoy hot and with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top!
