Need a sweet and savory taste of fall but looking to avoid those coffee shop prices? Try this easy homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe!

A sip of fall that you can make at home!

I have to be honest: my love for pumpkin flavored foods and drinks does not start or stop with the autumn months. I can typically be found enjoying various pumpkin-flavored treats year round. In fact, these pumpkin spice muffins are baked in regular rotation at my house. I make up a big batch every month or so and freeze them. The kids and I pull them out for easy snacks and breakfasts.

The recipe I am going to share with you today is no exception. Sure, once the leaves start to change colors and the air turns crisp and cool, we might think about a coveted pumpkin spice latte and head to the local coffee shop to buy one. But after you see how easy they are to make, you can enjoy this flavorful drink any time you’d like (for a lot less money)!

Easy homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe

This is a really delicious and versatile drink, and it’s so easy to make. The taste reminds me of pumpkin pie mixed with coffee. You can serve this drink on its own or with cookies or Biscotti. It makes a great after dinner drink, or dessert drink. This pumpkin spice latte would also make a great surprise around the campfire! Give it a try and see what you think.

DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients

Beverage Ingredients
4 Cups of Milk (whole, soy, almond; your choice)
1 Cup canned pumpkin
1/2 Cup packed brown sugar
1 heaping TBSP of granulated sugar

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Whipped cream for topping
Cinnamon sugar mixture to sprinkle on top

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

How to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte

In a medium sized saucepan, add the milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir all the ingredients together and then bring to a boil.
When the mixture starts to boil, turn the heat down. Simmer for 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
Add the coffee (or espresso) and continue to simmer, stirring the mixture until it is smooth and well-blended.
Turn off the heat and divide the drink evenly among 4-6 mugs. (I love these oversized mugs for lattes!)
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle some of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the whipping cream.
