Recipe Ingredients

• 1 to 2 cups (235 to 470 ml) of brewed coffee or espresso (adjust to taste for a stronger coffee flavor)
• 2 cups (470 ml) of vanilla-flavored almond milk or non-dairy milk of choice mixed with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 ml) of maple syrup, depending on desired sweetness
• 3 tablespoons (46 g) of pumpkin purée (use homemade or canned; see “Perfect Pumpkin Purée” for homemade)

How To Make Maple-sweetened Pumpkin-spiced Latte In Slow Cooker

1. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the brewed coffee or espresso, almond milk with vanilla, maple syrup, pumpkin purée, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg into your slow cooker. Whisk everything together thoroughly to make sure all the spices blend well and the pumpkin purée incorporates smoothly.
2. Set the Cooking Time: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 3 hours or on high for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. This lets the flavors blend slowly, creating a comforting, warm latte with a depth of pumpkin spice.
3. Stir Before Serving: Before you serve, give the mixture a good stir since the pumpkin tends to settle at the bottom. Make sure all ingredients are well mixed to get that balanced flavor in every sip.
4. Serve with Cinnamon Sticks: Pour the latte into mugs and garnish with a cinnamon stick, if desired. The sticks are not only a stylish touch but also let you stir the drink to keep it well mixed while enjoying it.

Recipe Tips

• For Extra Creaminess: Blend the pumpkin purée and almond milk in a high-speed blender before adding to the slow cooker. This makes the drink smoother and prevents the spices from separating too much.
• Sweetness Level Adjustments: Adjust the maple syrup to match your preferred sweetness. Start with 2 tablespoons, then taste halfway through cooking and add more syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
• Make It Frothy: If you enjoy a frothy texture, use a milk frother on the almond milk before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients. This adds a café-like creaminess to your latte.
• Change Up the Spices: You can adjust the spice blend to your taste by adding a pinch of cardamom for an exotic twist, or by increasing the cinnamon for a more classic fall flavor.
