A Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte Starbucks Recipe
I love my daily coffee. Most days I enjoy one large up with some dairy-free creamer. I have only had a few Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte drinks. Personally, I found the flavor a bit too strong. So I decided it might be fun to make my own healthy (gluten-free and dairy-free) pumpkin spice latte.
This is a good one! My healthy pumpkin spice latte recipe is delicious and refreshing and tastes like fall. I like this a lot better than the original version, but that’s only because I am a wimp and don’t like too much flavor in my latte.
I do have to admit that when I took a sip of this, it reminded me that fall is right around the corner.
If you are not ready to make the change from summer to fall decor just yet, at least you can have a few of these Pumpkin Spice Healthy Lattes.
How to Make a Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte
I have owned a latte machine forever. Like thirty-plus years ago forever.
Here are the ingredients I used for the Latte recipe. If you look at the recipe you will see I included a lot of options. For the milk, you can use regular milk if you want. But for a healthier option, try using Almond or Oat milk.
For the sweetener, I used Coconut Palm Sugar but you can also use Agave nectar, coconut milk, or honey for a healthier option.
Two Simple Ways to Froth Milk
I have two different ways to froth milk and both of them are easy and inexpensive! I have owned the Milk Boss for almost a year and I just discovered how well it froths milk! Oh my gosh! It is amazing.
I love our Milk Boss. I typically use it to mix my healthy powdered coffee creamer. I tried it to froth some almond milk and it worked perfectly within about a minute! The Milk Boss is quite powerful.
This Ninja frother is the best. I cannot believe how easy it is. You just pump it about ten times and the milk is frothy! How amazing is that?
See how easy this is!
It doubled in size and is so thick and frothy!
To make the latte, fill the cup with espresso.
The recipe shows how to cook the pumpkin milk mixture. Add it to the espresso.
Froth the milk and add it to the cup.
Look how wonderful this drink is!

Pumpkin Spice Latte News
Don’t laugh, there really is some news!
Also available Tuesday at Starbucks: the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, which combines Starbucks Cold Brew with sweet vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and pumpkin spice.
That sounds yummy! And considering it is really hot just about everywhere right now, this cold drink sounds delicious.
Of course, you can make my Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte healthy version cold too!
Pumpkin spice season returned to Dunkin’ earlier than ever before. The fall menu was announced at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide on Aug. 10th. It included the return of Dunkin’s Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, pumpkin bakery line-up, and Maple Sugar Bacon, alongside two brand-new items to fall hard for – the Blood Orange Dunkin’ Refresher and Nutty Pumpkin Coffee.

Notes
I have to be honest. I have always thought that the Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks were too strong. So this recipe has a lighter flavor. If you want it stronger you can experiment with the ingredients and add more pumpkin and spice.

Thanks Leslie, I can’t wait to try! Yumm!!
Yay! I hope you enjoy.
Yum!! I am so excited for all things pumpkin. Thank you for sharing!!
Me too! Glad you liked it 😊
Sounds delicious, but too many ingredients for me.
Oh my goodness! My heart is so giddy! The second that I read pumpkin spice, my heart began to beat faster. I’m so going to make this, but in a tea version.
Woo hoo! I’m off to go buy some pumpkin purée. Thank you so much for making my morning. Hugs to you.
Yay! I hope you enjoy Renae.
I have a question for you, not related to the coffee. I finally received five Gurli pillow covers from Ikea and am thinking about the designs I want to paint and free stitch for fall. Now that I am working on them I wonder if you ordered the stuffing pillows from Ikea or used another kind. This is going to be a fun project for me and hopefully I can get started and will have them completed by fall. Fall is in the air in Georgia. Thanks for your help.
I bought them from IKEA! Those pillows will look fantastic, good luck to you.
I think you have made my day!!! Thank you for sharing!
I am so happy to hear that🥰
Do you have a recipe for your homemade powered creamer?
The recipe shows the pumpkin milk mixture and then I frothed it!
You mentioned you use a Milk Boss to mix your healthy powered coffee creamer and I wondered if you had a recipe for the powdered coffee creamer?
I’ve tried so many homemade versions of this drink & have not been happy with any of them. I’ll try this one & see how it comes out.
Will the ingredients keep in the fridge if you just want to make one cup?
I would just half the recipe so you can make one!
I would love to hear more about why you’ll all went gluten free.
Just for health reasons, especially inflammation. My mom had alzeimer’s and a dr. that I see about preventive care suggested we drop dairy and gluten as much as possible.
