5 Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Latte - The Recipe

Like the Starbucks version but healthier (and lower in sugar), this drink is utterly delicious, However, unlike the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, this version is made from only nourishing ingredients.

Just pumpkin puree, spices, maple syrup and plant milk go into this warming drink. The coffee is totally optional, and you don't need to add it to the drink if you don't want to.

I love to top mine with coconut whipped cream as it adds extra creaminess and a dash of pumpkin spice for flavour, but this is totally optional.

Pumpkin Spice Latte FAQs

1) Why is pumpkin spice latte so popular?

Great question. Pumpkin and warming spices are just a really great flavour combination, and when you add creamy milk, you've got the perfect sweet treat. People love pumpkin-flavoured anything when it comes to Fall, and I think this, combined with Starbucks creating a pumpkin spice latte that has amassed a cult following means it will be around for a long time to come!

2) Can pumpkin spice latte be made dairy-free?

Totally! You can easily make this drink dairy-free by using your favourite plant milk instead of dairy (almond, oat or soy work well) and topping it with coconut whipped cream instead of dairy if you wish. This recipe is naturally dairy-free as it is.

3) How do you make pumpkin spice latte from scratch?

Very easily! Just mix pumpkin puree with spices, your sweetener of choice, plant milk and coffee (if using). Heat them gently et voila! That's it. Follow my simple recipe below to get the best results.
