Start with 1/4 cup of hot espresso or strongly brewed regular coffee.

In a mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of unsweetened original oat milk.

Add 2 tablespoons of pure pumpkin puree to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the bowl.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.

Stir the mixture to incorporate the ingredients without worrying about mixing it completely.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a small hole in it for ventilation.

Microwave the bowl for about 1 minute or until the milk starts to froth (note: it took about 2.5 minutes in their microwave).

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, as it will be hot.

Whisk the mixture to froth it up, noting that oat milk may not froth as well as whole milk.

Pour 1/4 cup of the brewed coffee into mugs.

Top the coffee with the frothed latte mixture.

Optionally, add whipped cream or foam on top and sprinkle more pumpkin spice if desired.
