Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients:

Excited to know the ingredients of this spicy and delicious Fall drink? Our pumpkin spice latte recipe has all-natural ingredients including real pumpkin. The recipe is flexible enough to have control over sugar and calorie intake. It is pleasant to taste and has a warm flavor profile. 

Try it on a chilling Fall morning. You’ll fall in love with it! Tag along to know the ingredients in detail.

Ingredients:

Espresso Powder:

Espresso powder is a fine powder made from ground coffee beans. It is usually used in spice rubs and baking. Use ½ cup Espresso Powder in the Pumpkin spice coffee recipe.

Pumpkin Puree:

Here comes the signature ingredient. Pumpkins are abundant in fall, so why not try something new with pumpkin? 2 tablespoons of fresh pumpkin puree make the spiced latte all gooey, sweet, and pumpkiny.

Milk:

Milk is a must-use ingredient in our diy spice latte recipe. 1 cup of any milk will do. Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk whichever you like. I used regular milk though.

Whipped Cream:

Love your coffee with creamy topping? No worries! Use 2 tablespoons of foamy whipped cream on top of your mug of pumpkin spice latte. 

White Sugar:

Though the spiced latte will be naturally slightly sweetened with pumpkin, you can use white sugar if you love your coffee sweet. 1 tablespoon will do.

Salt:

Salt makes all the flavors pop in a sweet recipe. Use a pinch of salt in the DIY spice latte recipe.

Ginger Powder:

Dried ginger powder is sweet and spicy. 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder adds a punch to the flavors of our homemade spice latte recipe.

Vanilla Extract:

It is an optional ingredient but using it will not disappoint you. Use ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for intense flavor.

Ground Nutmeg:

Nutmeg has a warming effect when used in any recipe. Use a pinch of ground nutmeg. You’ll love it.

Ground Cinnamon:

Cinnamon powder enhances the flavors in sweet recipes. Use ½  teaspoon of cinnamon powder with pumpkin puree and sprinkle a little on top.

How To Make DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte:

Do you enjoy trying out different seasonal drinks? Our homemade pumpkin spice latte can be your ultimate favorite fall drink.  It is nothing less than Starbucks. It’s rich, sweet, perfectly spiced, and creamy with whipped cream topping. 

And you’d be happy to know that you don’t need any specified equipment to make this recipe–no brewing machine, no milk frother. A small saucepan and a workable whisk. That’s all you’ll need. Here I’ll give you easy directions in simple steps. Trust me, anyone can make it.

Step 1:

Heat the milk in a saucepan over a low heat. Boil it until frothy. Brew the Espresso and keep it aside. 

Step 2:

In another saucepan put the pumpkin puree and sugar. Cook on low heat. Stir in the spices.

Step 3:

Pour the pumpkin spice mixture and brewed espresso into two coffee mugs. Put vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix together then pour the frothy milk on it. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4:

Now put the whipped cream on top. Then dust with more cinnamon. Garnish with a cinnamon stick. That’s it. You can start sipping!

Recipe Tips & Notes:

  • Feel free to use non-dairy milk if you have restrictions on dairy products.
  • Don’t have Espresso on hand? No worries! Use cold brew or any other kind of strong coffee.
  • Concerned with the use of white sugar? Use brown sugar or any other sweetener. You won’t get the original taste without the sweet content.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree or pumpkin extract instead of fresh pumpkin if you like. 
  • If you want a smoother texture in the latte, blend all the ingredients before putting it on the stove.
  • Wanna make a kids-friendly version? Skip the use of Espresso. All other ingredients and proportions will remain the same.
  • Be careful to keep the flame low while cooking the pumpkin puree. Keep stirring as it easily gets burnt.
  • You can strain the pumpkin spice mixture to avoid any bits of pumpkin.
  • Wondering if you can make a cold version? Yes, you can. Refrigerate it until cold. Also, you can top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Trust me! It’s awesome in every way.
