I hope you are ready for your mind to be blown with this super easy Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe?

I don’t know about you, but the second the weather just gets the *slightest* bit chillier, I crave ALL things pumpkin… muffins, cookies, chili… I immediately want to put it in evvvvverything. 

I know you are probably inundated with all things pumpkin this time of year, but I promise this simple latte is going to be one of the best pumpkin things you’ll try all year. (Plus, you’ll save SO much money on your daily Starbucks run by making it at home!)

And If you’re like me and can’t get enough of all things pumpkin – you should check out these 30 Healthy Pumpkin Recipes!

Pumpkin Spice Latte’s are somewhat a signal of the turn of the seasons. But Starbucks’ version is loaded with sugar. 

A couple of weeks ago Tyler and I were talking about how there is nowhere to get a REAL pumpkin spice latte with real pumpkin, spices and some sort of natural sweetener.

We someday hope to open a coffee shop that serves these sorts of things, but until then we our only option is to make our drinks from home!

If you’ve never made your own espresso drinks, don’t worry – it’s super easy. All you need is a good espresso machine (this is the one we have, it’s great!) some delish dairy free milk, and a few other ingredients.

Having an espresso machine is 100% worth the investment and you need it to make delicious homemade lattes. Plus, once you have it you can make things like a Healthy Gingerbread Latte or Healthy Peppermint Mocha~

Things you need to make a paleo pumpkin spice latte:

To make a healthy pumpkin spice latte you’ll need: almond milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, espresso, frother (optional)

I’ve also included some substitutions for you below!

How to make a Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte

Making a healthy pumpkin spice latte couldn’t be easier.. simply place all ingredients in a pot, whisk together + pour into a mug!

You could also microwave the milk/pumpkin and heat it that way!

As much as I love coffee shop vibes, there is something so nice about cozying up on your couch in sweatpants with your own mug under a blanket. Especially when you’re sipping on this paleo pumpkin spice latte.

A lot of people think coffee drinks can be difficult to make, but they’re actually super simple. Give this a try and let us know what you think!

Substitutions for this Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte

Can I make this whole30? Yes, omit the maple syrup.

Can I use honey? Yes, it will work fine but it will not be vegan. I like this honey.

Can I use different milk? You can use any milk in this recipe and it will work just fine. I prefer non-dairy milk but if you like regular milk and don’t follow any specific diet feel free to use that! Homemade almond milk or walnut milk go great in this recipe!

I don’t have pumpkin pie spice, what can I use? I highly recommend ordering pumpkin pie spice simply because it’s great for so many thing (smoothies, stirring in coffee, adding to yogurt, and of course pie!) but if you don’t have it on hand and still want to make this you can use 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg and ground giner. It will still be delicious

Can I make this without an espresso machine? Our Nespresso is one of the most used kitchen utensils that we have and I think it is well worth the $$ (If you buy even ONE latte a week at Starbucks and make it at home instead this will pay for itself!) You could sub in 1/2 c coffee to this recipe but it will not have the same amount of caffeine and may taste a little watered down.. Treat yourself and get the nespresso machine 

Can I make this without a frother? Yes! You can whisk the milk vigorously in the pan and it will get super frothy!
