Among the most beloved of these flavors is the classic pumpkin spice latte. Today, we are celebrating this cozy favorite with a twist, a Malk Pumpkin Spice Latte.
What Is Malk Pumpkin Spice Latte?
The MALK Pumpkin Spice Latte is a seasonal, plant-based latte made with MALK Organics nut milk (typically their almond or oat milk) combined with pumpkin purée, warming spices (like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves), and usually a natural sweetener.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Malk (Almond, Oat, or your favorite variety): Malk provides a clean, rich flavor as a dairy-free base.
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree: Use pure pumpkin puree for a natural taste.
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or preferred sweetener): Maple syrup pairs well with pumpkin and spices.
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice: A mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: Vanilla rounds out the flavors.
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee: Adjust the strength to your preference.
- Optional: coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for garnish.
Instructions:
- Warm the Malk and Pumpkin Mixture: Pour Malk into a small saucepan. Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
- Heat Gently: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Warm the mixture, whisking occasionally, until steaming. Do not let it boil.
- Blend for Froth: Use a milk frother or small blender to blend the mixture for 20-30 seconds. This step gives a silky, foamy texture.
- Prepare the Coffee: Make a shot of espresso or brew strong coffee. Pour into your favorite mug.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the warm, frothed pumpkin spice milk over the coffee. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish: Top with coconut whipped cream and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, if desired.
Tips For The Perfect Malk Pumpkin Spice Latte:
- Choose the Right Malk: Almond or oat varieties work particularly well, bringing creaminess and subtle flavor.
- Pumpkin Puree: Use canned pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and seasoning.
- Maple Syrup: Start with less, tasting as you go, to find your preferred level of sweetness.
- Spice Level: Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to your liking. Add more cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
- Blending: Blending is key for that café-style froth. An immersion blender or hand frother creates the best foam.
- Serving: Serve immediately for peak warmth and flavor. Enjoying your latte with a sprinkle of spice or a dash of vanilla heightens the sensory experience.
What To Serve With
- Pumpkin Bread: A slice of moist pumpkin bread complements the latte’s flavors wonderfully. You can enjoy it plain, or try it with a light glaze or a spread of almond butter.
- Spiced Muffins: Cinnamon, apple, or pecan muffins echo the seasonal notes in your cup. Their tender crumb makes for a satisfying bite between sips.
- Oatmeal Cookies: Oatmeal cookies, especially those with dried cranberries or golden raisins, bring a chewy texture and warming flavors that pair well with pumpkin spice.
- Vegan Scones: A flaky, dairy-free scone served warm with a bit of fruit preserves or a touch of vegan butter makes a delightful addition. Maple or vanilla scones harmonize especially well with the latte.
- Granola Parfait: Layer crunchy granola with dairy-free yogurt and a spoonful of pumpkin puree or cinnamon apples. This treat offers both texture and an autumnal touch, playing off the flavors in your drink.
- Apple Slices with Nut Butter: Fresh apple slices dipped in almond or cashew butter create a crisp, wholesome snack. Sprinkling a hint of cinnamon on top ties in with the pumpkin spice.
- Simple Toast with Pumpkin Butter: Thick slices of toasted bread spread with pumpkin butter provide a delicious, autumnal pairing. You can sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top for added warmth.
- Dark Chocolate Squares: Rich, dairy-free dark chocolate enhances the deep, earthy tones of the latte while adding another layer of indulgence.
- Mixed Nuts: A small bowl of roasted or spiced nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, offers both crunch and a complementary nuttiness alongside your warm beverage.
- Pear or Apple Tart: A slice of fruit tart with a flaky crust and naturally sweet filling brings a wonderful finish to your coffee break. These flavors mingle beautifully with the warm spices in your latte.
