Seeing Starbucks PSL on their signs every fall makes my mouth water. But I can\u2019t justify consuming that much sugar (50 grams in a grande size) plus all the additives. Not to mention it costs about $6+ per cup to consume said sugar!<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to find a way to get that pumpkin flavor without the barista. With my love for pumpkin coffee, I knew I had to find a way to make it at home for less.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-pumpkin-spice-latte-recipe-with-real-pumpkin\">A Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe With Real Pumpkin<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve fine-tuned this easy pumpkin spice latte recipe over the years and now I can\u2019t drink anything else! It\u2019s easy to make for yourself or for a crowd with just a blender and a stovetop (or Crock-Pot).<\/p>\n<p>This pumpkin spice latte tastes very similar to the coffee shop PSL versions without artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners. Oh, and it actually contains pumpkin puree\u2026 because it\u2019s not a REAL pumpkin spice latte without it!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using store-bought canned pumpkin and won\u2019t use the whole can, freeze the rest in ice cube trays and keep them in a bag for future batches. Or use it up in something like this warm <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/coconut-flour-pumpkin-bread\/\">pumpkin bread recipe<\/a>. Check out the end of this post for more pumpkin recipe ideas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-for-a-real-food-pumpkin-spice-latte\">Ingredients For a Real Food Pumpkin Spice Latte<\/h2>\n<p>I like using raw, grass-fed milk, but not everyone can have dairy. This coffee recipe is naturally gluten-free, but you can also make it dairy-free. Sub coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or macadamia milk. (Macadamia is my favorite!) These are easy to find in the store, but <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/homemade-almond-milk\/\">homemade nut milk<\/a> is cheaper and less watered down.<\/p>\n<p>I use a half-teaspoon of <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/pumpkin-pie-spice\/\">pumpkin pie spice<\/a>, but you can use your own blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg if you don\u2019t have pie spice on hand. It tastes similar to chai, but without the cardamom or black pepper. These spices are naturally antioxidant and antimicrobial. Perfect for the time of year when colds and flus like to make their rounds. And the pure <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/vanilla-extract\/\">vanilla extract<\/a> rounds out the warming spices in this coffee drink.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-topping-it-off\">Topping it Off<\/h3>\n<p>A dollop of whipped heavy cream or coconut cream finishes off this recipe and makes it extra decadent. Try a whipped cream dispenser for homemade (and low sugar) whipped cream on demand.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to avoid sugar, then feel free to omit it. I use these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sweet-Liquid-Stevia-Pumpkin-Spice\/dp\/B00GU0ALLM\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">pumpkin spice stevia drops<\/a>, and don\u2019t miss the sugar one bit! I also like to add a tiny bit of vanilla to my homemade whipped cream. If you need to skip the dairy, no worries. You can easily make this <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/coconut-whipped-cream\/\">coconut whipped cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-203243\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"203243\" data-servings=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-wm\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-intro\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"Pumpkin_Spice_Latte\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pumpkin_Spice_Latte-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pumpkin_Spice_Latte-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" src=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/pumpkin-spice-latte\/?tp_image_id=496064\"\/><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte<\/h2>\n<p>\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" style=\"display:block;width:0px;height:0px\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-33\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"33%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"33%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-50\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"50%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"50%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-66\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"66%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"66%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: block;\">This delicious pumpkin spice latte is easy to make and made with real food ingredients.

However, homemade or barista-style almond or cashew milk also works well. Avoid thin nut milks, which don\u2019t froth as easily. Macadamia nut milk is especially delicious here!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortcut tip:<\/strong> Many electric milk frothers can heat and froth at the same time. So you can warm the milk, pumpkin, and spices together right in the frother before pouring into your mug.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want more you can easily double, triple (or quadruple!) the recipe for more people. I\u2019ve even increased the ingredients by 10X before and keep it warm in a slow cooker or carafe. For an iced version use a strong cold brew. Or cool the coffee first and blend all ingredients in a blender with 1\/2 cup of ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For an extra protein boost sometimes I\u2019ll add a tablespoon of grass-fed collagen or a scoop of <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/protein-powder-healthy\/\">healthy protein powder<\/a> for more protein.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Pumpkin Recipes<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some recipes to use up the rest of the pumpkin puree after making your pumpkin spice latte.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your favorite fall seasonal flavors?
