    Why This Recipe Works 

    This vegan pumpkin spice latte is perfect for sipping on chilly mornings or whenever you’re in need of a comforting treat. It’s a spin-off of the delicious famous Starbucks fall drink, but it’s much healthier, entirely plant-based, and it doesn’t contain as much sugar. 

    So if you want to save some money and calories, just make your own! And making this recipe is a real breeze. All it takes is six ingredients and five minutes. With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you’ll have a steaming cup of homemade pumpkin spice latte ready to uplift your spirits.

    Instead of cow’s milk, I used almond milk, which I like best for this drink. Maple syrup is the perfect sweetener. It’s much healthier than white sugar and goes perfectly with the pumpkin puree. 

    I used a store-bought pumpkin spice mix to make things super easy, but you could also make your own. I added a bit of extra cinnamon to enhance the cinnamon flavor. 

    My recipe calls for real pumpkin puree and not just pumpkin syrup, which makes the pumpkin flavor much more authentic. 

    Top it all off with a bit of coconut whipped cream. It’s the perfect vegan alternative to traditional whipped cream and the light coconut flavor goes perfectly with the pumpkin spice. It’s a fall dream!

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    ingredients that go into this recipe on a marble countertop with labels
    • Pumpkin Puree – I usually make my own puree from butternut squash, but you could also use canned pumpkin puree. 
    • Cinnamon – my favorite is Ceylon cinnamon 
    • Almond Milk – I use unsweetened almond milk. You could also use oat or soy milk instead. 
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice – I used a store-bought spice mix, but you could also make your own. 
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Maple Syrup 

    How To Make This Recipe 

    almond milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a pot

    1. Step: Froth up the almond milk either with an espresso machine or an electric milk frother. Add the frothed milk together with the remaining ingredients to a small pot.

    2. Step: Stir with a whisk until well combined. Heat it to your preferred temperature on the stove top. 

    Tips & Tricks 

    • I used an espresso machine to make the milk froth. You could also use an electric milk frother. 
    • Barista almond milk is the best plant-based milk to froth. It’s specifically made for coffee and it forms a foamy layer, which is perfect for coffee or other hot drinks. 
    • If the latte is not sweet enough for you, just add more maple syrup. You could also add a teaspoon of coconut sugar.

    Storing 

    If you don’t finish all of the latte right away, you can store it in a mason jar in the fridge for 1-2 days. Just reheat it on the stove top when you’re ready to drink it. 

    Making This Recipe without a Milk Frother or Espresso Machine

    This recipe works best with an espresso machine or an electric milk frother. However, you can still make it without either one. 

    Just place all of the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend for 30-60 seconds on high for a frothy top. 

    Version with Coffee

    Coffee lovers can add an espresso to their pumpkin latte.

      First, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have never had a Starbucks PSL, ever. Can’t thanks to a wicked allergy to all things cow milk.
      Second, when I decided to go on the hunt for a non-dairy version I was slightly shocked at how many new vegan sites I discovered (yay me – more yummies!).
      Third I scared my cat when I burst out laughing at the line “Coffee lovers can add an espresso to their pumpkin latte.”
      What can I say, it never occurred to me to make a latte without the espresso (I am a fan of coffee). But then it hit me that without the espresso (gasp!) I could indulge in this lovely warming tummy cuddler in the evening! What a lovely cool weather alternate to herb teas and golden milk!
      So thank you for the recipes (I’m always on the hunt for plant based foods even if I am not yet fully veg) and thanks for the giggles! Laughter is considered aerobic exercise, so you started my morning off healthier even before I’ve tried the recipe! ;-)
