The Best Fall Latte At Home

Is it even fall without a pumpkin spice latte recipe?

I love a good coffee shop as much as the next Millenial, but making a latte at home always feels like an extra special treat. Plus, with this homemade pumpkin spice latte you get to customize it to your liking and save some money at the same time.

This dairy free latte is lightly sweetened with maple syrup and uses real pumpkin – none of the fake stuff. It’s so delicious and simple to make.

Let’s make some cozy lattes!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients

  • strong coffee – You can brew some extra strong coffee or use espresso
  • homemade pumpkin pie spice – You can use store bought or make it using this simple recipe that uses just 4 ingredients!
  • pumpkin – Make sure you’re getting canned pumpkin, and not pumpkin pie mix. You may notice Libby’s canned pumpkin is a deeper orange color compared to off-brands or even organic brands. Just in case you’re looking for that deep orange color, I’ve found the most consistency with Libby’s.
  • maple syrup – For a lightly sweetened latte, maple syrup works great. You could also substitute agave nectar or honey as well.
  • vanilla extract – Always vanilla!
  • non-dairy milk – My favorite dairy-free milk option is oat milk, but you could use almond, cashew, or coconut milk too. Hemp and soy also work! Whatever you have on hand is fine.

How to Make the Perfect PSL

for a Hot latte

Once the weather cools off, there is nothing as good as sipping a warm latte. It’s a fall classic that makes you appreciate the change of the seasons a bit more.

All you have to do for this homemade deliciousness is:

  • Brew coffee to your liking (I prefer a little bit stronger for a homemade latte, unless you’re using espresso)
  • Warm milk (by stovetop, microwave or milk frother)
  • Add all ingredients to blender; blend until smooth. 
  • Taste test for sweetness and spice, adding more if desired.

Sometimes you just have to have those fall flavors, but the weather is too warm or iced coffee is more your jam.

An iced pumpkin spice latte recipe is perfect and simple to make at home!

  • Use cold brewed coffee in place of hot coffee.
  • Add all ingredients to blender
  • OR add all ingredients to blender except milk, then pour coffee mixture over ice and add milk to taste.

Storing Leftover Pumpkin

Since this pumpkin spice latte recipe only calls for a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin, you’re left with a whole can that you don’t know what to do with.

Fall Baking Day

Take this as your cue to have a fall baking day and use one of the many pumpkin recipes on the blog like this pumpkin bundt cake, pumpkin muffins, or these PSL truffles.

Freeze Leftovers

Another option is to use ice cube trays to freeze the leftovers. Depending on the size of the tray, you will have one or two tablespoon pumpkin cubes that you can pull out of the freezer whenever you need your PSL fix!!

Learn how to make a homemade pumpkin spice latte at home! Whether you prefer a hot or iced latte, it’s simple to make and customize to your likely. Make your own dairy free and vegan latte that’s better than Starbucks!

  • Author: Ashley
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x
  • Category: drinks
  • Method: blender
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegan

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup strong coffee
  • 1/2 teaspoon homemade pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 TBSP canned pumpkin (or pumpkin puree)
  • 2–3 teaspoons maple syrup, to taste 
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup your favorite non-dairy milk (oat, coconut milk, almond milk, soy, hemp, etc.)

Instructions

Hot Version

  1. Warm milk in saucepan over low heat until warm, or use microwave.
  2. Add all ingredients to blender; blend until smooth. 
  3. Taste test for sweetness and spice, adding more if desired.

Iced Version

  1. Use cold brewed coffee in place of hot coffee.
  2. Add all ingredients to blender
  3. OR, add all ingredients to blender but milk, then pour coffee mixture over ice and add milk to taste.

 

Notes

Everyone’s taste buds are different so play around to adjust the sweetness and spice to your liking. You can also use pitted Medjool dates to sweeten like this Golden Milk Latte recipe.

If you have a milk frother, another method to make the hot version would be to warm the milk up separately in a milk frother, and add the coffee, spices, pumpkin, syrup and vanilla to the blender until smooth. Then combine the milk and pumpkin coffee into your mug.
