👍Health Benefits
- Cashew milk: Cashews may promote weight loss, blood sugar control, and heart health. You can read more about it here.

Maple syrup has also been found to lower cholesterol in mice, as well as prevent inflammation of the liver. Lastly, it may promote brain health. You can read more about the benefits of pure maple syrup here.

📝Ingredient notes
- Cashew milk: Or your favorite tasting plant-based milk.
- Pumpkin puree: Not pumpkin pie filling! You want to use 100% pumpkin puree.
- Pure maple syrup: Make sure to use one labeled 100% pure and not just your average flavored pancake syrup. Those typically contain added sugars and ingredients.
Also, you could serve this drink with cold coffee over ice to make it an iced pumpkin spice latte.
🥛Substitutions
- Cashew milk: You can really use any plant based milk that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options would be oat milk, coconut milk (from the carton) or even almond milk.
- Pure maple syrup or honey are good options for sweeteners.
- Coffee: If you aren't a coffee drinker but want to enjoy this latte, try a common coffee substitute like Dandy Blend tea. It's really good for you and if you brew it strong enough, it tastes like coffee. I enjoy Dandy Blend a lot myself, but read the reviews on Amazon for yourself to see what others have to say!
🗒How to Make a Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte
- In a small pot, whisk the cashew milk and all ingredients except the coffee, coconut cream, and vanilla.
2. Bring the mixture to a light boil for about a minute while whisking. Then turn off the heat and add the vanilla. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
3. Pour over the coffee and top with the coconut cream or dairy-free whipped cream.
Enjoy!
