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.
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!
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.
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:

With homemade pumpkin spice syrup, creamy milk, and a strong espresso, it tastes wonderfully spicy, sweet, and cozy. Perfect for those who enjoy a low-carb diet and don't want to spend their money on Starbucks.
Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat it on the stovetop. Don't let it boil, but remove it from the heat as more and more steam builds up. Use a milk frother to froth the milk.
Meanwhile, pour the espresso and pumpkin spice syrup into a small container. If you didn't just make the syrup and espresso, you should reheat them (e.g., for 30 seconds in the microwave).
Pour the frothed milk into your latte macchiato glass and add the pumpkin spice espresso. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin spice on top of your pumpkin spice latte for decoration and enjoy.

Tip:If you suffer from period cramps, it's recommended to avoid caffeine. You can easily make this recipe caffeine-free by using decaffeinated espresso powder for your espresso.
Advertisement (for mentioning the brand name, I purchasedd the product myself): I prefer to use the espresso powder from No Coffee – because they don't use potentially harmful chemicals to decaffeinate their coffee. Just water! And I just really like the taste of their coffee!
