Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk regular, almond, oat, or your preferred milk substitute
  • 1 shot espresso or 1/3 cup of strong brewed coffee if you don't have an espresso machine
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling – look for pure pumpkin puree
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener adjust to taste; you can also use maple syrup for a natural sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice store-bought or mix your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish
  • whipped cream optional
  • ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice optional
  • caramel syrup optional drizzle

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker or mason jar
  • measuring spoons

Method
 

Heat the Milk
  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat your milk over medium-low heat until it's warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Alternatively, you can warm it in a microwave.
Mix the Pumpkin Base
  1. Whisk the pumpkin puree, sugar (or sweetener), vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice into the warmed milk until the ingredients are fully combined. Heat for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will help the flavors infuse beautifully into your base.
Brew the Coffee/Espresso
  1. While your milk mixture is heating, brew a fresh shot of espresso or a strong cup of coffee. The better your coffee base, the better your latte will taste, so use high-quality coffee if possible.
Combine the Base and Coffee
  1. Pour your espresso or brewed coffee into a large mug. Slowly add in the milk and pumpkin mixture, stirring gently.
Add Toppings
  1. To make the latte extra indulgent (just like Dunkin would!), top it with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and a drizzle of caramel syrup.
Sip and Enjoy
  1. Curl up with your steaming mug and soak in all the autumn feels.
