Pumpkin Spice Steamer {dairy free}

October 19, 2014 by Erica 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 4 ice cubes for 1/4 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.
Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 195kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk or other dairy-free milk
  • 1 cup water or tea
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch of ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan.
  • Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve. I save left-over latte in the refrigerator and reheat the next day.

      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 🙂
