Warm the Base: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until the ingredients are fully mixed and warmed, but do not let it boil. This step helps release the flavors of the spices and creates a rich base for your latte.

Add Non-Dairy Milk: Gradually stir in the non-dairy milk, continuing to heat the mixture until it is warm but not boiling. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent any scorching.

Combine with Coffee: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the brewed coffee or espresso. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired. If you like it sweeter or more pumpkin-flavored, feel free to add more pumpkin puree or syrup.

Froth the Milk: If desired, froth the mixture using a milk frother or by shaking it in a jar with a lid until foamy. This step adds a luxurious texture to your latte, making it feel even more indulgent.

Serve: Pour the latte into your favorite mug. Top with vegan whipped cream, if using, and sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top for a festive touch. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin spice latte warm!
