Create a cozy, authentic pumpkin spice latte at home using real pumpkin puree and your preferred milk. This recipe offers a balanced sweetness and café-style flavor without the artificial ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk (oat, almond, or dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup hot brewed coffee or espresso
  • Optional: Whipped cream, extra pumpkin pie spice for topping

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not boil.
  2. Stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling.
  4. Pour the hot coffee or espresso into a mug.
  5. Pour the pumpkin-spiced milk mixture over the coffee.
  6. Stir well to combine.
  7. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half.
  • Adjust the maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • To achieve a frothy texture without an espresso machine, you can use a milk frother or vigorously whisk the warm milk mixture before combining it with the coffee.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to store-bought syrups and offers better control over ingredients, similar to what you might find with a quality meal planning service focused on whole foods.
