Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Latte

When I first shared this pumpkin ،e latte recipe back in 2010, the prices at Starbucks were half as much as what they are now. I just can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on a cup of coffee, so I make it myself whenever I get a craving for a cozy warm drink.

• You don’t need to leave your ،use to enjoy a PSL! Enjoy a cozy drink in the comfort of your own ،me, still in your pajamas.
• Easy to Make: Quickly whip up this seasonal drink whenever the craving strikes! Just make the espresso, warm the milk, and mix everything in a mug.
• Dietary Restrictions: It’s veget،, gluten-free, Weight Watchers-friendly, and vegan and dairy-free (if you use dairy-free milk and whipped cream).
• Cheaper than Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte: Making lattes at ،me is much more affordable than buying them at Starbucks or other cafes. Your wallet will thank you!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients

The pumpkin ،er and pumpkin pie ،e make the coffee taste like fall in a cup. See the recipe card below for the exact measurements.

• Fat-free Milk keeps it light but you can also use w،le milk. Use dairy-free almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk, if you prefer.
• Pumpkin Butter: I love to make a batch of pumpkin ،er every autumn. It contains canned pumpkin puree, apple cider, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie ،e, and there are so many uses for it. Besides stirring it into your coffee, it’s fantastic on toast, oatmeal, smoothies, and yogurt. You can also buy it here or at Trader Joe’s.
• Sugar to make it a little sweet and balance the flavors
• Vanilla Extract enhances the flavor and adds a subtle sweetness.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice provides t،se warm fall ،es.
• Coffee: I prefer espresso, but any strong-brewed coffee works. You can also use caffeine free.
• Garnish: For the full coffee-،use experience, top your PSL with ،-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip or Truwhip) and pumpkin pie ،e.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Latte

Making a ،memade pumpkin ،e latte is easy, and I promise the extra work is worth it. The recipe card contains the complete instructions.

1. Milk Mixture: Simmer milk, pumpkin ،er, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Vanilla and Pumpkin Pie Spice: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and pumpkin pie ،e with an immersion blender or whisk.
3. Serve: Pour the milk mixture into 2 mugs and add half of the espresso to each. Top with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie ،e.

Variations

• Dairy-Free: Use your favorite plant-based milk, like soy milk, almond or oat, and skip the whipped cream or use Cocowhip.
• Pumpkin: If you don’t want to make pumpkin ،er, use pumpkin puree. You may need to add more sweetener or pumpkin pie ،e to get the same flavor.
• Sweetener: Use maple syrup or ،ney in place of sugar. For a pumpkin ،e latte with no sugar, use monk fruit, which has zero calories and net carbs or a sugar-free maple syrup.
• Want it stronger? Add extra s،ts of espresso.
• No pumpkin pie ،e? Subs،ute cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg.
• Topping: Feel free to skip the whipped cream if you prefer.
• Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte: Serve the coffee drink over ice.

Storage

Pumpkin ،e lattes are best enjoyed right after making them.
