Low FODMAP Pumpkin Spice Latte

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 2 cups lactose-free milk (or low FODMAP milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree (ensure no added sugars)
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend (combine ground ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon)
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee (or espresso)
• Whipped lactose-free cream (optional, for topping)
• Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Method:

1. 1. In a small saucepan, combine the lactose-free milk, canned pumpkin puree, and pure maple syrup over medium-low heat. Whisk together until well combined.
   2. Add the pumpkin pie spice blend and pure vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.
   3. While the milk mixture is heating, brew a cup of strong coffee or espresso.
   4. Once the milk mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat and use a hand blender or a regular blender to blend it until frothy.
   5. Divide the brewed coffee or espresso between two mugs.
   6. Pour the frothy pumpkin spice milk mixture over the coffee in each mug.
   7. Enjoy!
   Optional: Top with whipped lactose-free cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for extra indulgence.

NOTE: Although, coffee is not a FODMAP, caffeine can be a common gut irritant. As we are all different and have different tolerances, it is good to assess your own tolerance.
