Pumpkin Spice fan?
It’s fall! Time for our favorite warm and frothy seasonal drink – the pumpkin spice latte! Whip up your own DIY version using real pumpkin whenever the mood hits. It rivals any coffee shop (and it’s so much cheaper, too)!
Pumpkin spice is life!
Try using real pumpkin puree to get your pumpkin spice fix. I promise this will taste even better than a syrup! Plus, it’s super easy to melt puree with a little pumpkin pie spice, along with your favorite type of milk.
Hip Tip: Use your leftover pumpkin to make my Starbucks pumpkin bread! It’s SO yum!
Don’t have a milk frother to make lattes? No problem! I actually used my immersion hand blender to froth my latte, and it worked great!

You’ll love this version a latte!
Feel free to top your latte with some whipped cream and a little more pumpkin spice if desired. SO YUMMY! I love that this version has an authentic and rich pumpkin flavor with a little sweetness. This fall, treat yourself to this easy homemade version that’s both creamy and delicious.
Hip Tip: For an iced latte, freeze coffee in an ice cube tray and add to your drink!

Enjoy! Thanks Bianca!
Wow ty sounds great I would also suggest may be extra work but adds a lot of flavor to buy a baking pumpkin bake in oven then use purée from real pumpkin makes home smell nice too. Ps you can freeze the leftover purée Thanks again:)
Great idea! Thanks!!
Yes, love the latte mug!
Thanks!
Cool idea. Pumpkin spice lattes don’t even have real pumpkin in them, so this is definitely a step up! I love your DIY approach to home cooking! <3
Aw THANKS <3
Lina, this sounds so good, and …super easy. thx as always. keep up the good work and God bless
THANKS Babymair! <3 Enjoy!
Another tip for the leftover pumpkin…if anyone is having issues “going,” pumpkin is a natural laxative! Our vet had me give the dog canned pumpkin and it worked like a charm. I remembered that tip when our daughter was born and always kept some pumpkin baby food on hand. 😉
Thanks for the tip! I’m sure it will come in handy for me.
I tried both recipes and both were yummy! For the bread, I added pecans and I made a cream cheese and cinnamon frosting to put on top and it is so good. Even the kids like it and they don’t normally like pumpkin flavored treats.
Way to go!! ❤️👊🏻 Sounds delicious Kimberly!
This leave a lot of left over pumpkin; if you need another idea for using it? I add a can of pumpkin to my chili! YES CHILI! It adds nutrients, makes the chili thicker and no one EVER notices 🙂
Yes! We have a recipe here that I tried and loved! Great idea https://hip2save.com/2015/10/16/slow-cooker-pumpkin-ground-turkey-chili/
Or, I’m wondering if you could measure out multiple 2 Tablespoon chunks of pumpkin and freeze those, then use one whenever you want a latte? 🤔
This is latte is AMAZING! I have a sweet tooth, so I added about 1/2 teaspoon more sugar and increased the pumpkin spice (too much came out). This definitely surpassed my expectations, and will save me SO much money!
That’s so great Katrina! I agree so 😋 YUM. Thanks for trying the recipe!
Anyone know how to make this into a Frappuccino?
I would probably add the pumpkin base to frozen coffee ice cubes in a blender.
You can froth milk in a French press coffee maker, too. Works really well.
Oh great tip! Thanks for sharing 👍
Yummy!!! This is a Keto Friendly ?
Hi Evelyn! Here is the Keto recipe! https://hip2keto.com/recipe/diy-pumpkin-spice-latte-recipe-starbucks/ 🙂
Thanks!!
Unusual combinations! I am always looking for new ways to use pumpkins!
Thanks and enjoy!
Hubby was complaining about the giant pumpkin pie from Costco taking up all the space in the fridge. I remembered this recipe and used it (minus the added sugar and extra flavorings) to make myself a nice PSL. Yum!
Awesome!! And lol those pies are big 👍
This is amazing. I make it as a treat sometimes when my mom comes over to babysit the kids. Powers us through! I froze the remaining pumpkin into ice cubes, which I assume are around 1T each. Works great!
I love that idea! Great tip about freezing into ice cubes!
Yes! and you can have it year round.
Don’t have a milk frother to make lattes? No problem! I actually used my immersion hand blender to froth my latte, and it worked great! I don’t have either but maybe I can whip it up the old fashioned way with a whisk or a hand held blender.
That’s super smart – thanks for sharing 👍
Is there a way to use this with hot tea?
