A Pumpkin Spice Latte is my favorite warm beverage for the fall season! However, I do not like driving to the local coffee shop, waiting in a long line and then paying a ridiculous amount of money for my pumpkin spice latte. Plus, my local coffee shop uses pumpkin syrup. What?! I do not want syrup! I want real pumpkin! So, I decided to make my own pumpkin spice latte… with real pumpkin. This recipe is so quick and easy! Plus, you will save so much time and money by not going to your local coffee shop. Join me, and have a Real Pumpkin spice latte! This pumpkin spice latte goes perfectly with my Pumpkin Bread or my Organic Pear Bread!
I really do love all things pumpkin. A pumpkin spice latte is just one of the many fabulous ways to enjoy pumpkin. Of course I love the taste of pumpkin but there are so many health benefits to consuming pumpkin as well. I love pumpkins so much that I decided to grow my own! Click here to see my pumpkin.

How to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte…
What you will need:
1 cup of milk (I use 2% organic milk)
2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (I use Organic Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin)
1 tablespoon sugar or substitute – Use more or less depending on how sweet you like it.
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus a dash for on top)
1/2 cup hot, strong coffee
How to make it:
First, brew a strong cup of coffee. Combine all ingredients, except coffee, in a microwave safe bowl. Cover bowl with paper towel to prevent splatter. Microwave on high for 1 – 2 minutes, until hot but not boiling. You can also heat in a saucepan over low heat. Remove the milk mixture from the microwave or heat and whisk until frothy. Or pour milk mixture into a blender and blend until frothy. Pour the milk mixture into a mug, then pour 1/2 cup of hot, strongly brewed coffee into the mug. Sprinkle a dash of pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve hot. Enjoy!
