Ingredients

½ cup milk (any variety)
1 ½ tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup , or to taste
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
pinch of salt (optional)
½ cup brewed coffee

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well. Start brewing a cup of strong black coffee, as well. (If you have leftover cold coffee, you can heat it up with the milk.)
As soon as the mixture starts to bubble around the edges of the pan, stir it well to ensure it's evenly warmed, then remove it from the heat. Add in the black coffee and make any adjustments to taste. You can add more sweetener, if needed, or more black coffee to make it taste less sweet. This recipe is best served warm right away, as the pumpkin will start to separate as it sits, but you can simply give it a stir to reincorporate everything again.

Nutrition information is for the whole batch, using soy milk. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Blender Version: You can make a blender version by combining 1 cup of brewed coffee, 1 teaspoon of almond butter, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Blend until smooth and creamy, and serve right away for a more concentrated coffee flavor that tastes like it was made with espresso.
