My latest obsession has been searching the internet high and low looking for pumpkin recipes!
I already have a KILLER pumpkin pie recipe (thanks Mom!), and those amazing pumpkin spice oatmeal cookies I posted a few days ago, but today I get to share my favourite!!!!
Thanks to one of my favourite food blogs “Back to her Roots“, I now have a better than Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte! (okay maybe not better than Starbucks, but pretty darn close!)
I tried it this morning, and definitly drank the entire batch (which according to her serves 2-3…..not sure how big her coffee mugs are, but it only served me my regular 2 cups of coffee!)
ENJOY! :)
Pumpkin Spice Latte
2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp vanilla (no that’s not a typo…trust me it works!)
1/4 tsp pumplin spice
pinch of cayenne pepper (trust me on this one too!)
2/3 cup espresso
Sugar to taste…I like my drinks sweeter than the normal person, so add sugar until it’s sweet enough for you :)
Mix together and enjoy! Keep stirring it as you drink as the pumpkin can sink to the bottom. I tried pushing the pumpkin through a sieve into the glass and that helped TONS!! it was a bit too grainy before!
Today I am heading up to IGA for some EGG NOG! :)
I will DEFINITELY be trying this! What are the chances I could talk you into sending me (or posting) your pumpkin pie recipe????
I definitly can!!! I just have to make them first so I can post a great picture! :) Working on that tonight!
I love pumpkin spice lattes! This recipe is similar to mine, but mine has no syrup or cayenne. To get rid of the grainy texture I whip mine up in a blender before I heat it in a saucepan on the stove. I guess I could microwave it too. :) As an added bonus, it’s nice and frothy!
Good idea!!! :)
