Iโve been keeping quiet about this pumpkin spice oatmeal latte, but now that October is here, itโs finally time to share the recipe with you guys!
I held out all September long, I didnโt share any pumpkin recipesโฆbut now that we are two weeks into autumn, itโs time! And you guys? Let me put it this way, I have five too many pumpkin recipes to share this year. I donโt know what to do. Iโm trying to space them out over the next two months, but I canโt share them allโฆbecause there is totally such a thing as too much pumpkin.
Thing is? I LOVE all pumpkiny the ideas.
Ugh. I canโt help it, fall recipes are my favorite. Please let me know in the comments what youโd like to see this month. Hoping you opinions can help me make some decisions.
Serious Question:ย How much pumpkin is too much? Still trying to figure this outโฆ
Ok, and moving right alongโฆ
Ever since late last October, Iโve been dreaming about this pumpkin spice oatmeal latte. Yes, a full year ago. Hereโs the thing, I first made this probably around the middle of last October, but I just never got the recipe or the photos the way I wanted to, and since neither were perfect I ended up scratching the latte because by the time November rolled around I was onto all things Thanksgiving (whoโs excitedโฆI am, but Halloween first!).
This year though, I was determined to share this fun latte recipe and I am happy to report that it is now perfected and delicious.
So, what is a pumpkin spice oatmeal latte?
Well, itโs pretty simple. Think of a pumpkin spice latte, add some oatmeal, whipped cream, and granola and you have the oatmeal version of a pumpkin spice latteโฆI know, kind of weird, but trust me on this.
It. Is. So. Good.
I was inspired to create this recipe by a little coffee shop in Breckenridge, Colorado, Cuppa Joe. They make an oatmeal latte that is probably one of the coziest things you could ever sip/eat on. If youโre in town visiting this fall, please go and try it for yourself. Yummm!
Their oatmeal latte kind of got me thinking, โwhat if I put a fall twist on this? Like um, pumpkin pie spice! yes, yes, yes, I need to do thisโ.
My brain, itโs weird, but at least it can come up with some pretty yummy recipes, so I got that going for meโฆ
Anyway, once the idea was in my head, I knew it would be so good, and even though this recipe took a bit of time to perfect, it was well worth the wait.
Creating this latte is actually pretty easy. Just steam some milk with a little pumpkin, oats, pumpkin pie spice, and a splash of vanilla. Then give that milky/oaty mix a good whisk to create some foam. Then just pour into a mug, add espresso, and top with granola.
And yes, the granola is an absolute must. Again, just trust me.
Youโll want to both sip and use a spoon to consume this latte. The oats make it thick and creamy, almost like a smoothie, so it is still sipable, but youโll be wanting a spoon for when you get down to the bottom of the mug. Those soaked oats and pieces of granola?
The best part.
And also? This is the perfect on-the go breakfast because you get your coffee and your oats all in one. Love.
So are you guys into this or what? I know the idea is a little out there, but I hope you will give it a try! Itโs pretty much the perfect Tuesday treat, and that Starbucks pumpkin spice latte has nothing on this.
Nothing.
Lastly, I may just have a thing for creating homemade latte recipes, see this toasted coconut chocolate latte, thisย coconut pumpkin spice latte, and this gingerbread latte with caramel sugar (oh how I love that recipe).
And done. Happy Latte Tuesday!

Hey Kiersten,
Awesome!! Thanks so much for making this recipe and sharing your feedback, I am thrilled to hear that it was enjoyed! xx
Really loved this as a breakfast! Came together quickly. Since I used thiner plant milk, added a spoon of almond butter to help thicken. Adding granola really took it to next level!
