Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte without Coffee

Pumpkin, a certain variety of squash family is although technically a fruit, still is usually considered as a vegetable. Pumpkins seeds are nutrient powerhouses. But the pumpkin flesh is also rich in nutrients. It is packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals and can be consumed throughout the whole year. Particularly, the bright orange pumpkins are popular symbols of fall time. The pumpkin is less sweet and more savory used vegetable from a culinary perspective. 

Well the theme no 210th of the Foodie Monday Blog Hop foodie group is decided as ‘Ulta Pulta’ which is suggested by Kalyani. She is one of my sweet co-blogger and her blog is full of vegan dishes. And one more thing is if you are a South Indian food lover like me then you should visit her space for many mouthwatering dishes. So as per the theme name, we have to to think out of box and prepare a dish in ulta pulta kind. That means we have to prepare either sweet dish using an usual savory main ingredient or a savory dish using an usual sweet main ingredient. 

Hence I picked the pumpkin as the savory main ingredient to make a sweet beverage as Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte without Coffee for the theme contribution. Although I have on mind to make pumpkin kheer, pumpkin halwa, pumpkin pie but somehow decided to make this beverage. As the rainy weather at my place is going on and also I am down with a cold, so a latte will surely best fit for me rather than any other 😉 So I prepared that.

Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte sounds interesting, isn’t it ? Oh yes, it is. Pumpkin pie spice powder here I have used in the latte. If this spice powder is not available at your place, then a mix powder of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, dry ginger can be used instead of pumpkin pie spice powder. This beverage is completely gluten free and egg free too.

The latte basically topped with a whipped cream. I have skipped that part somehow and simply pour the cream on top after filling the serving glass with latte. One can go for vegan version of this latte, but I have gone with the regular milk here in the preparation. And the result is amazingly yum and one will surely enjoy with each sip. Although I added maple syrup but that can be replaced with honey or even regular sugar. Even no coffee is added too. So do try this yummy and nutritious drink using pumpkin.
