WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE HEALTHY PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE AT HOME:

You need the following ingredients to make this Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte:

• Unsweetened almond milk – Almond milk adds a nice nutty flavor, but any plant-based milk works for this recipe.
• Pumpkin puree – I’m using homemade pumpkin puree. You can substitute for canned pumpkin. Read how I make my homemade pumpkin puree below.
• Maple syrup – A dash of maple syrup is perfect in pumpkin spice latte. Use any syrup of choice. Stevia also works well.
• Pumpkin spice mix – It wouldn’t be a pumpkin spice latte without the fall spice flavors. Read below how I make my homemade pumpkin spice mix.
• Ground cinnamon – For more cinnamon flavor. You can skip this if you like.
• Brewed Coffee – Use 60 ml (=1/4 cup) of your favorite brewed coffee. You can also use one shot of espresso and add more milk.

Equipment you need:

• Frothing jug/milk jug (or any mug instead)
• Mini electric whisk
• Mug

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN SPICE MIX:

Making homemade pumpkin spice is easy. You’ll need to combine the following ingredients:

• 4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp ground allspice
• ½ tsp ground cloves

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PUREE:

Homemade pumpkin puree is usually made either by roasting the pumpkin or boiling it or steaming it and then blend into a puree. Roasting the pumpkin will add better flavor to the puree. But I often choose to cook the pumpkin in water. It’s up to you how you make it.

How to make pumpkin puree:

Cut the top of the pumpkin (I use orange Hokkaido pumpkin/red kuri squash) and then carefully halve the pumpkin. Hallow out all the seeds using a spoon. Take off the skin by using a sharp knife. Slice the pumpkin, cut into large cubes.

Put the pumpkin into a pot, cover with water, bring to boil, and let simmer for about 20-30 minutes until soft, depending on how big cubes you cut.

Drain the water (you can keep it for some recipes), and let the pumpkin cool down for at least 5 minutes.

Then add the pumpkin to the blender and blend until smooth (use blender tamper to push down the pumpkin to make it easier to blend). If the consistency is too thick, add some boiled water or water from the cooked pumpkin.

Store the pumpkin puree in a mason jar or container with a lid in the fridge after it cools down. It will last for about 5 days.

Making this Pumpkin Spice Latte is super easy:

To frothing jug, add warm unsweetened almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin spice mix, and ground cinnamon. Whisk everything until combined using mini electric whisk *. It should create foam on the top.

To a mug, pour your favorite brewed coffee. Then add the pumpkin milk mix.

Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice mix. Or top with vegan whipped cream!

Stir and enjoy!

*if you don’t have a mini whisk, you can add all the ingredients to the blender and blend until combined

WHAT TYPE OF PLANT MILK IS BEST FOR HOMEMADE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE?

Any plant-based milk works for this recipe, so it’s your choice based on what you like the most. I usually use almond milk because it adds a nutty flavor to it, which I like, or soy milk, which has a neutral taste (at least to me). Coconut milk will make the latte creamier but won’t be the best option if you want to make the milk foam. For creating the best milk foam, I recommend using barista plant-based milk (usually oat, almond, and soy-based).

VEGAN CARROT CAKE OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE

Overnight oats are one of the simplest nourishing make-ahead breakfast. And they are perfect for meal prep – to eat them after a workout, at school, or at work. Prepare the oats the night before, place them in the fridge overnight, and the next morning your breakfast is ready to be eaten. 8 ingredients, 10 minutes, plus you’re adding a veggie to your breakfast.

For this recipe, I used almond milk and plant-based yogurt for extra creaminess. It really does make a difference in adding yogurt to your overnight oats. Maple syrup gives it just the right bit of sweetness. And it’s perfectly spiced by cinnamon and nutmeg.

These overnight oats, full of carrot cake flavor and walnuts, remind me of my favorite cake. No raisins for me in these overnight oats! Sorry, I don’t like them. But feel free to add them if you’re a fan.

Overnight are meant to be served cold, but you can absolutely enjoy them warmed up.

THIS CARROT CAKE OVERNIGHT OATS ARE:

• vegan
• dairy-free
• gluten-free (if using certified gluten-free oats)
• sweetened with maple syrup
• creamy
• healthy
• nourishing
• delicious
• satisfying
• filled with carrot cake flavor
• done in a few minutes
• perfect breakfast for a busy morning

WHAT ARE OVERNIGHT OATS?

Overnight oats are (usually) rolled oats soaked in liquid in the fridge overnight and don’t require any cooking. It’s a simple grab-and-go breakfast or snack, perfect for meal prep, that is eaten straight from the refrigerator.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE BEST CARROT CAKE OVERNIGHT OATS:

You need the following ingredients to make this Vegan Carrot Cake Overnight Oats:

• Rolled oats – You can’t make overnight oats without oats! Rolled oats, also called old-fashioned oats, are best when it comes to overnight oats. You can use quick oats instead, but they can turn a little mushy and less creamy.
• Ground or chopped walnuts – I always add walnuts to carrot cake, so they can’t be missed in this carrot cake overnight oats.
• Ground cinnamon and nutmeg – These are essential for carrot cake flavor.
• Grated carrots – It wouldn’t be carrot cake without carrots! Feel free to add as much you like to the overnight oats.
• Plant-based yogurt – Yogurt adds extra creaminess to the overnight oats. I used plain, unsweetened soy yogurt, but coconut or cashew yogurt works well.
• Unsweetened almond milk – Almond milk adds a nice nutty flavor but use any plant milk you have. If you run out of milk, use water instead (the overnight oats will be less creamy).
• Maple syrup – You can substitute for any liquid sweetener, such as agave syrup, date syrup, coconut nectar, or stevia. I find maple syrup fits the best for carrot cake flavor.
• Favorite toppings – You don’t have to add any topping to the overnight oats. However, I always add something on top to make it super delicious. Read my favorite overnight oats toppings below.

Equipment you need:

• Mason jar, bowl, or container with a lid 
• Spoon

OVERNIGHT OATS TOPPINGS

If you in a hurry, you can entirely skip this. But I love my overnight oats with some toppings.

These are my favorite overnight oats toppings:

• Granola – For nice crunch.
• Chopped nuts – Walnuts or pecans are the best for the carrot cake overnight oats.
• Hemp seeds – Great basically on everything. You can never go wrong with hemp seeds.
• Chia seeds – Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.
• Goji berries – I know many people don’t like them, but I love them.
• Cocoa nibs – It’s my new addiction.
• Shredded coconut or coconut flakes/chips – If you feel extra, use toasted coconut.
• Peanut or almond butter – My must-have on any sweet breakfast. Use your favorite nut butter.
• Fresh fruit – Chopped apple fits the best to the carrot cake flavor but feel free to add strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries
• Extra syrup – For more sweetness! I used homemade vegan honey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

CAN I USE QUICK OATS INSTEAD OF ROLLED OATS FOR OVERNIGHT OATS?
