For me, the pumpkin spice latte is simply a must-have for autumn—that warm, spicy feeling in the cup is like a hug on gray days. I used to treat myself to it occasionally at Starbucks, but eventually I wanted a healthier, sugar-free version that I could enjoy at home without feeling guilty. So I started experimenting—and now here's my favorite recipe for a creamy, aromatic pumpkin spice latte that brings autumn home.
Note for coffee lovers
Wie du an meinem Rezept erkennst, habe ich keine hochwertige Kaffeemaschine oder Siebträgermaschine, sondern bereite meinen "Espresso" in meiner Bialetti (Advertising / Affiliate). Of course, you're welcome to use your fully automatic or portafilter machine to make the espresso and/or froth the milk. Just a reminder that you can also enjoy this coffee experience with simple means and on a budget!
Inspiration for this Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
I was inspired for this Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe by this YouTube video by Patrick Meyer He used to be a barista at Starbucks and supposedly reveals the original recipe in his video—or at least it's said to taste exactly the same!
I made a few adjustments, especially to make the Pumpkin Spice Latte sugar-free. Patrick Meyer also makes an iced pumpkin spice latte in his video, but I prefer my coffee pleasantly warm in the fall. So, I skipped the ice cubes and replaced the sugar with erythritol.
Basic Recipes needed for this Recipe
In this recipe I use four recipes that I have already shared with you on “sizzling & frizzling".
One of the main ingredients for this Pumpkin Spice Latte is of course the Pumpkin Spice Syrup . This creamy pumpkin spice syrup is the perfect base for an autumnal pumpkin spice latte – completely sugar-free! Sweetened condensed milk gives it a subtle caramel note, while erythritol provides sugar-free sweetness. The result is a flavorful, low-carb alternative to the classic Starbucks original.
To make this Pumpkin Spice Syrup you need the following three recipes:
- Pumpkin Puree: This recipe shows you how to make fresh pumpkin puree in just a few steps – without expensive convenience foods. It's perfect as a base for autumn cakes, bread, or other pumpkin dishes.
- Sugar-free Sweetened Condensed Milk: This recipe is made with erythritol, making it perfect for a low-carb diet. It's ideal as a base for various sweet recipes, such as syrup for pumpkin spice lattes or creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker. It's easy to prepare and provides a versatile alternative to classic sweetened condensed milk.
- Pumpkin Spice: Pumpkin spice is the classic American spice blend that instantly adds an autumnal flair to any dish. Blended with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and a pinch of cardamom, it's perfect not only for pumpkin recipes, but also for apple desserts, carrot cake, or a warming pumpkin spice latte.
