Pumpkin Spice Steamer {dairy-free}

Oct 19, 2014 (updated Nov 1, 2024) (4 Comments)

Pumpkin Steamer - Comfy Belly

I love this time of year. Fall colors, Indian summer days, and pumpkins. Here's a personal favorite: a pumpkin steamer.

I just finished roasting a very large butternut squash, which means I'm ready to share some more recipes using pumpkin. Yep, my oven is on fire. Get ready for a couple of baking posts. And some opportunities to get an apron or cookbook.

This spiced pumpkin steamer is the essence of pumpkin pie flavor in a slightly thick, warm beverage. I only occasionally add tea, and you can also add coffee in place of water or tea, according to your liking. When I don't mind filling up on some caffeine, I use my favorite Chai spiced tea instead of water.

Pumpkin Spice Steamer {dairy-free}

In order to have this at a moment's notice, I freeze some roasted butternut squash (pumpkin puree) in an ice cube tray. Each cube is about 1 tablespoon, and for this recipe an estimate is good enough. I add 3 to 4 iced pumpkin cubes for ¼ cup of pumpkin puree. If you think ahead, thaw a few cubes in the refrigerator a few hours or overnight before heating up this delight.
To make this Keto or low carb, use sugar-free maple syrup or another low-carb sweetener.

      Good to hear! Thanks. Yes, I bet you could add a bit of ginger and/or turmeric for a slight boost of anti-inflammatory spices 🙂

      Ah, yes, for a latte you can replace the tea with coffee 🙂
