Notes
Tips from Our Test Kitchen
- For the creamiest latte, use a barista-style oat milk or full-fat coconut milk. These options froth beautifully and add a luxurious texture.
- Don’t skip the blending step—it’s the secret to achieving that smooth, velvety finish, especially if you’re making an iced latte.
- If you don’t have pumpkin spice on hand, make your own by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Want to save time? Prep the latte base ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just blend or reheat when ready to serve.
Variations, Leftovers, and Storage
One of the best things about this dairy-free pumpkin spice latte is how customizable it is. Here are a few ideas to make it your own:- Swap the espresso for decaf coffee or even chai tea for a caffeine-free option.
- Use honey or agave syrup in place of maple syrup for a slightly different sweetness.
- For a protein boost, blend in a scoop of your favorite unflavored or vanilla protein powder.
- Store any leftover latte in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Shake or reheat before serving.
