Can I use something other than pumpkin puree?

Pumpkin puree is the key ingredient for that authentic pumpkin flavor. You can try using butternut squash or sweet potato puree as a substitute, but it may alter the taste slightly.

How do I make pumpkin pie spice if I don't have it on hand?

You can make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves together. Try my homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe here!

Is there a way to make this drink sugar-free?

Yes, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar. Adjust the amount to taste.

Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed espresso or coffee?

Yes, you can use instant coffee, but it won't have the same depth of flavor as brewed espresso or strong coffee. Dissolve instant coffee in hot water and use that as a substitute.

Can I make a decaffeinated version of Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Absolutely! Simply use decaffeinated coffee or espresso to make your latte.

Can I make a vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Yes, you can make a vegan version by using non-dairy milk like almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk, and skipping the whipped cream or using a dairy-free alternative.

How can I adjust the sweetness level to my liking?

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar or sugar substitute to your taste. Start with a small amount and taste-test before adding more.

What can I use as a garnish if I don't have whipped cream?

You can use a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, or even a drizzle of caramel or maple syrup as an alternative garnish.

How long can I store leftover Pumpkin Spice Latte?

It's best to consume your latte right after making it for the freshest flavor. However, you can refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat it as needed.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup milk
1 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small saucepan, heat the milk, pumpkin puree and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and add in the pumpkin pie spice. If you have a frother or immersion blender, blend the mixture to a froth before adding to your mug.
Next, brew fresh espresso or strong coffee. Pour the coffee into a mug and top with the pumpkin spice latte mix. Top with your favorite topping. Traditionally, whipped cream and ground cinnamon are topped on a pumpkin latte, but you can use your favorite toppings of choice.
This recipe makes enough for two 12 ounce lattes. Double or triple the recipe as needed to make more. Store leftover latte mix in the refrigerator. Rewarm the mixture when ready to use again, or mix in a warming milk frother.
