This deliciously creamy coffee beverage is based on my Creamy Keto Coffee but this time with a warming fall twist.
It tastes like pumpkin spice latte but it's thicker, creamier and way healthier than its Starbuck's alternative. We're using egg yolks and collagen, both of which make this beverage nutritious and satisfying to replace a full breakfast meal.
Don't worry, the egg yolks won't scramble. In fact, they will make this drink incredibly smooth and creamy, almost like drinkable pumpkin spiced custard! And if you want to take this recipe to the next level, simply add some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
Recipe Tips
Are you avoiding caffeine? Instead of regular coffee, you can use Swiss water process decaf coffee, black tea or even your favourite herbal tea.
We're using gut-healing collagen for extra protein. You can add another tablespoon or two for a more satisfying drink. Make sure you use collagen powder (hydrolyzed gelatin) and not regular gelatin, as regular gelatin will clump like glue.
If you prefer your coffee less creamy, closer to a classic latte, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60-120 ml) of hot unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk.
Want to make your own pumpkin spice? For my non-US readers, here's a DIY Pumpkin Spice Mix in case you can't find it in your grocery store. It's easy!
We're using raw egg yolks so make sure you're using pasteurized eggs. (This should be the case for all grocery store eggs but make sure you check your local regulations.) To pasteurize eggs at home, simply pour enough water in a saucepan to cover the eggs. Heat to about 60 °C/ 140 °F. Using a spoon, slowly place the eggs into the saucepan. Keep the eggs in the water for about 3 minutes. This should be enough to pasteurize the eggs and kill any potential bacteria. Let the eggs cool down and store in the fridge for 6-8 weeks.
