Pumpkin Spice Latte Or Cafe Au Lait (Dairy, Gluten and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
You know fall has arrived when Starbucks comes out with their Pumpkin Spice Latte.  I have not been brave enough too look at their ingredients...and maybe this is best.  I had some leftover roasted pumpkin in the fridge so decided to try making my own.  I am not a typical coffee drinker but this was fantastic.
A latte does use espresso so I should call mine a cafe au lait as I used brewed coffee.
Ingredients (serves 2)
  • 1 3/4 cups non dairy milk (I used unsweetened almond)
  • 1/2 cup roasted or pureed pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee (or more depending on taste)
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
  1. Place all ingredients into a pot and heat.
  2. Using a blender, puree until smooth.
  3. Serve, adding some foam created while blending on the top.
