Starbucks fans – make this easy Pumpkin Spice Latte at home!
Starbucks has officially released its infamous PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte), but wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy the seasonal splendor without having to leave the house and pay over $5? 🤔 Whip up your own DIY version using real pumpkin purée whenever the mood hits.
This easy drink recipe is so simple to make, and it rivals any coffee shop. Not only that, but it’s so much cheaper to make your own at home, too!
Pumpkin spice is life…but actual pumpkin is better!
Unlike traditional pumpkin spice lattes, our version uses real pumpkin purée to get your fall flavor fix. I promise this will taste even better than using syrup! Plus, it’s super easy to melt the purée with a little pumpkin pie spice along with your favorite type of milk.

Additional Notes
Recipe adapted from TheKitchn.com.
Here are a few tips for creating the perfect pumpkin spice latte at home:
- 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 out great!
- For an iced latte, freeze coffee in an ice cube tray and add it to your drink. As the ice melts, the coffee flavor intensifies!
- Not sure what to do with your leftover pumpkin purée? Use it to make any of our favorite pumpkin recipes!
