How to Make this Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte
Start by brewing 1 cup of coffee using your preferred method.
While the coffee brews, combine 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla syrup, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking continuously until the mixture is warm and well-blended.
Pour this aromatic mixture into your favorite mug, add your hot brewed coffee, give it a gentle stir to combine all those cozy fall flavors, and top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you’re feeling extra lavish.
Step 1. Brew Fresh Coffee Properly
Brew your preferred coffee using a coffee maker or French press until you have 1 cup of hot, fresh coffee.
For ideal flavor, use freshly ground beans and filtered water at 195-205°F.
Let it brew completely before moving on to the next steps of creating your keto pumpkin spice latte.
Step 2. Warm Milk Mixture Gently
In a small saucepan, combine almond milk, pumpkin puree, sugar-free vanilla syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
Heat over medium heat while whisking continuously until the mixture is warm and well-blended, but not boiling.
Watch carefully to prevent scorching and maintain a smooth consistency.
Step 3. Combine Coffee and Milk
Pour the warmed milk mixture into your mug, then add the freshly brewed coffee.
Gently stir to combine the two liquids until they create a uniform, creamy consistency.
The warmth from both components will help them blend seamlessly, creating your perfect keto pumpkin spice latte.
Step 4. Add Optional Toppings
For the finishing touch, top your latte with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and dust lightly with additional pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
You can also add a sprinkle of nutmeg or sugar-free cinnamon powder for extra warmth and visual appeal.
