Lightened Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

PRINT Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups almond milk – I like unsweetened vanilla
2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute – I use liquid Stevia when cutting back on sugar
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 espresso shots [recommend the Dolce Gusto - seriously, great espresso!] No espresso? No problem. Just add black coffee
Optional – light whipped cream

Directions

In a small saucepan on medium heat, add almond milk, pumpkin and sugar. Stir obsessionally, until it begins to steam.

Remove from the heat and add vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. With a whisk, whip the mixture until it’s nice and foamy.

Divide into two coffee cups and top each with a shot [or two] of espresso.

For decoration and a little sugary treat, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with a little pumpkin pie spice.

Serves 2

There is something so comforting about a big latte. We’ve been having some unseasonably warm weather here, but I know that one of these days I’ll want to partake in one of these.

I tried another recipe for a pumpkin latte this morning and it was awful. This sounds much better – you cooked it and have less spice. I’ll try again!

I might need to wait a few minutes for it to cool, so I can pour it ALL OVER MY FACE.

Lisa, this pumpkin spice latte is calling my name! What a lovely fall season drink to cozy up to, and a low calorie alternative to the Starbucks indulgences! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This looks great and I’ve been making my own at home, too. Nothing like being able to nurse my pumpkin addiction and save money$$ and do it at home

I’ve been making them at home too (a Starbucks employee actually gave me a gallon of the syrup, which is definitely not “lightened”!), but I love your inclusion of almond milk! I think I’ll be trying that tomorrow. Thanks for the great idea, Lisa:)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I LOVE pumpkin spice latte’s, but can’t hang with the amount of sugar in them (from Starbucks anyways.). I will be trying this VERY soon!
