DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte will satisfy your craving for a spiced up latte with real pumpkin, not the syrupy stuff from the local barista. Easy to make and you’ll never spend $6 again!
Why I Love this Recipe
As soon as the fall weather hits, I start craving all things pumpkin and especially a Pumpkin Spice Latte! It’s my kryptonite, truly. This recipe uses real pumpkin puree, but you can substitute pumpkin flavored syrups if you choose, but I highly recommend making it as written the first try. It’s a real keep of a recipe for a homemade pumpkin spice latte.
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Milk, of choice
- Pumpkin Puree, canned or homemade (but not pumpkin pie filling)
- Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Pumpkin Pie Spice, homemade or store bought
- Strong coffee or espresso
- Whipped cream, fresh or canned
How to Make
Add the milk, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring almost to a boil, stirring constantly – if you allow it to boil it will get thick (yuck). Whisk the mixture until it starts to froth, about 1 minute. Divide milk mixture between two mugs. Add the coffee slowly down the side so you don’t disturb the milk froth, add a squirt of whipped cream and a pinch more of the pumpkin pie spice.

I really love this recipe and hope you will too!
It would be nice to be able to find the recipe. Looked at the page a dozen times. Cannot see any recipe. Just pictures and dairy advertising.
Whenever I head north to visit my parents, I’m always jolted back into the reality of the shorter days. Even that extra hour makes a difference! This latte is just the thing I need right now to warm me up.
