The best homemade pumpkin spice latte you'll ever make. Made with basic pantry ingredients: pumpkin puree, brewed coffee, milk of choice, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Brew 1/2 cup of your favorite coffee. You may desire more coffee, so make a little extra if desired. Set the coffee aside and keep warm.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm the milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree. Whisk the ingredients until the milk begins to bubble on the sides. Turn off the heat and add the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm milk in a large bowl or work in the saucepan. Use an immersion blender or milk frother to create the milk froth. If you don't have a immersion blender or milk frother, vigorously whisk the milk in the saucepan (with a fork or whisk) as the bubbles begin to form (while heating the milk).
Pour the frothy milk into a large coffee mug. Then carefully pour the coffee into the frothy milk.
Serve the coffee warm.
If you'd like to serve your latte with whipped cream topping, use this recipe. Add the whipped topping directly to the top of the latte before serving. Serving Suggestion: The latte is delicious to serve with almond flour pumpkin bread or einkorn pumpkin muffins.

Notes
Non-Dairy Milk: Make this latte without dairy by using an unsweetened non-dairy milk: oat, almond, cashew, or coconut milk all work well. Use a milk that will froth well. Any milk that's very watery (skim/reduced fat) doesn't usually froth the best, so using a full-fat milk is the best choice.
Espresso: Instead of using 1/2 cup of brewed coffee, use 2 shots of espresso if you have an espresso machine at home.
Sweetener: Instead of maple syrup, which adds a lovely fall flavor, use honey, stevia drops, or even brown sugar instead.
