Pumpkin spice lattes are all the rage during the autumn month of October but they tend to be filled with sugars, calories and additives; thankfully food blogger Amy's Health Baking has adapted the popular recipe to be a skinny latte reduced sweetness and fat. This is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the popular pumpkin hot drink as a more wholesome beverage.
Alongside this beverage being a healthier take on the popular pumpkin spice latte, the drink can also be made entirely at home. The recipe calls for nonfat milk instead of whole and stevia rather than syrup or sugar. Both are simmered along with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and pumpkin puree to create the drink's base that is then topped off with a shot of extra strong coffee.
