Easy Pumpkin Spice Latte


So Fall is here, although in Arizona it still feels like summer.
To help get us in the mood here at home ive been making Pumpkin Spice Latte's to satisfy our fall craving for pumpkin. My version is semi healthy and figure friendly but doesnt dissapoint on the flavor. Heres what you'll need.

1 Shot of Espreso or STRONG double strength coffee

1 tablespoon of canned 100% pumpkin Puree (Not pumpkin pie mix)

1 table spoon of Brown sugar (I also use agave nectar, regular sugar, or even raw sugar)mainly whatever you like to sweeten your coffee with.

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

3/4 cup of milk of your choice (half and half or heavy cream is good too) whatever you like in your coffee.

And last but certainly not least: Pumpkin Pie spice


Start off by brewing your coffee extra strong. In a separate cup , mix all of the other ingredients together.









Microwave for about 1 minute watching carefully in case it bubbles over. Once your pumpkin milk has been steamed, I like to froth the milk, hence Latte. To froth your milk you dont need a fancy schmancy milk frother like this, you can do it with a jar that has a tight lid on it. Ive even used a french press, all you do is plunge like 20 times and you have capuccino style froth.



Then you pour in your coffee carefully on one side to preserve the foam. and dash a little more spice over top and enjoy!


Save your self a bazillion calories, and 10 bucks in stead of going to you know where for a pumpkin spice Latte.




Happy Fall! Let me know what you think!
