Jump To RecipeHere’s how to make a healthier Pumpkin Spice Latte that tastes just as rich and cozy as Starbucks—without the sugar crash or mystery ingredients:
Ingredients
-
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat, or any milk you love)
-
2–3 tbsp pure pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
-
1–2 tbsp maple syrup (or monk fruit sweetener for no sugar)
-
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove)
-
¼ tsp vanilla extract
-
1 shot (or ½ cup) strong brewed coffee or espresso
-
Optional: dash of sea salt to bring out flavor
-
Optional: unsweetened whipped cream or coconut cream to top
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla.
- Heat until hot but don’t let it boil—whisk often until it's steamy and smells like fall.
- Use a milk frother or blender (careful—it’s hot!) to make it super creamy and frothy.
- Pour into your favorite mug and add the espresso or coffee.
- Top with a little whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice (if you're feelin’ fancy).
