Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
This homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte blends real pumpkin, warm spices, and maple syrup into a creamy drink with less than half the sugar of a Starbucks PSL.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup to taste
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- brewed espresso or coffee I like espresso
- ½ cup milk I use 2% but you can use any that froths well
- whipped cream optional
Instructions
- In a measuring cup or bowl, add the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Whisk well until combined.
- Brew your favorite coffee or espresso and pour it into the measuring cup as well.
- Whisk again until fully combined and pour it into your coffee cup.
- In the meantime, heat the milk in a medium pot on the stove and then take it off the heat.
- I like to froth it with my hand-held frother, but you don’t have to.
- Pour in as much milk as you like into the pumpkin coffee and top it off with whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes
- Iced Latte: Try an iced version! Let the coffee mixture cool and serve over ice. Use cold milk instead of heated milk.
- Plant-based: For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with a plant-based alternative such as almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk. Use a vegan whipped cream or omit it altogether.
- Pumpkin Chai Latte: Substitute coffee with strong brewed chai tea or a chai tea concentrate to make a Pumpkin Chai Latte.
- Sweeteners: Instead of maple syrup, try another sweetener such as honey, agave syrup, or sugar-free syrup for a different sweetness profile.
