No more runs to the coffee shop needed – I’m going to show you how to make a pumpkin spice latte at home! This keto pumpkin spice latte is sure to become fall’s most popular drink. You know I love eating pumpkin all fall long, and it was time to add a healthy pumpkin spice latte to the mix.
I knew I could make a homemade pumpkin spice latte that tasted better than the ones from the coffee shop (most don’t even use real pumpkin!) and didn’t have all of the sugar. We landed with this low carb pumpkin spice latte that has all of the traditional fall drink flavors, without the sugar!
Grab your milk frother (I’ll tell you why this one is my favorite below) and let’s get to that sugar-free pumpkin spice latte making!
What Is A Pumpkin Spice Latte?
A pumpkin spice latte is a latte made with fall spices and flavors. Coffee shop PSL’s are almost always loaded with sugar, and I’m not sure if they even contain any actual pumpkin.
My pumpkin spice latte is completely sugar-free, totally customizeable, and takes just 5 minutes.
You just need my secret tool to make it…
What’s My Secret Trick To The Best Pumpkin Spice Latte?
While a latte at home may sound complicated, it’s super easy!
My secret trick to the best pumpkin spice latte is a Zulay Kitchen Milk Frother – it’s the only special equipment that you need and DON’T skip it!
I’ve owned my fair share of milk frothers, and this one is the BEST. The motor is super powerful, it works effortlessly, and it’s easy to clean. I also use it every time I make bulletproof coffee and bulletproof tea!
They come in a bunch of fun colors (or simple black, white or silver if you prefer neutral!). And, they even come with cute little stands to keep them on your kitchen counter. Did I mention they are very affordable, too?!

Can You Make The Pumpkin Spice Latte Keto Friendly?
Yes, a healthy PSL is possible and it’s exactly what I’m showing you today!
This keto pumpkin spice latte tastes just like the ones you get at the coffee shop, but without the all the sugar and artificial ingredients.
Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients
The ingredients in this DIY pumpkin spice latte keto recipe are simple and basic… and you probably have all of them already in your keto kitchen:
- Unsweetened almond milk – This helps give the healthy pumpkin spice latte creamy flavor without many calories or carbs.
- Heavy cream – Adds the major creaminess and decadent texture to this natural pumpkin spice latte.
- Pumpkin puree – Wouldn’t be a homemade pumpkin spice latte without the pumpkin puree. Make sure you buy plain pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling!
- Besti – This sweetener dissolves really easily into the keto latte recipe. Most others won’t dissolve well.
- Pumpkin pie spice – This gives your healthy pumpkin spice latte the classic pumpkin spiced flavor.
- Vanilla – Helps to bring out the sweet flavors.
- Brewed coffee – Use strong coffee or espresso in this unsweetened pumpkin spice latte. Lattes are traditionally made with espresso, but strong coffee will also work if you don’t have an espresso maker.
- Whipped cream – This homemade pumpkin spice latte just isn’t complete without a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice!
How To Make A Pumpkin Spice Latte
Are you wondering how to make a pumpkin spice latte? It’s EASY!
- Heat up the low carb PSL. Combine the almond milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, Besti, and pumpkin pie spice and heat in the microwave, or on the stove-top.
TIP: The FASTEST and minimal-cleanup method is to heat right in the mug, in the microwave.
- Froth the low carb pumpkin spice latte. Add vanilla and use a milk frother to blend for about 30 seconds…
…Until the mixture is smooth and frothy, like this:
TIP: DON’T skip the milk frother! It helps the sugar-free sweetener dissolve better and makes your keto pumpkin latte extra creamy.
- Add coffee. Stir in the brewed coffee.
- Garnish. Top this healthy homemade pumpkin spice latte with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Can You Make A Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Latte Ahead?
This healthy pumpkin spice drink is best made fresh! If you want to prep it ahead a bit, you could combine the almond milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, Besti, and pumpkin pie spice together, and then just heat when you’re ready for your low carb pumpkin spice latte.
TIP: I recommend using the milk frother again if you reheat it, otherwise the spices will settle.
Make a double or triple batch, the mixture will last for 2-3 days in the fridge.

0The recipe sounds wonderful. I tried to order the frother, but your WHOLESOMEYUM15 discount code does not work. I tried it several times using your link above to get it at Amazon, but no go – it says The promotional code you entered is not valid.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Cheryl, You can use that discount code on the Zulay Kitchen website.
Seyda
0Hiii. I can use stevia sweetener other than monk fruit. How much should I use?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Seyda, Possibly, but you may need to adjust the amount of sweetener needed in the recipe. Besti Monkfruit Allulose Blend is the best option for this recipe because it dissolves completely, unlike other keto sweeteners out there. Check out this Keto Sweetener Guide to help you determine how much you will need.
Linda Smith
0Made this today for a non-keto family member visiting and she enjoyed it as well… nice afternoon treat!
Colleen
0I made this and it tasted bitter. Checked my pumpkin Best Buy and it was good through Dec 2023! Wondering if it is the allulose?? First time trying allulose. Thoughts? Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Colleen, Sorry to hear that. Besti has no aftertaste and is definitely not bitter, so if you used the same sweetener as listed in the recipe, that wouldn’t be the reason. Maybe check if one of your other ingredients went bad?
Donna Mac
0This is so awesome!! I’m on Keto and have trouble believing that something tasting this special is Keto!! But check out the ingredients! It’s all Keto!❤️
S
0This sounds delicious except for the almond milk (unless you make it yourself with organic and unpastured almonds) or organic, canned coconut cream without any gums. I would also add more coffee, 2 cups would be my preference.
Laura
0Thanks for the recipe, I’m sure going to try it. Thank you for sharing.
Joseph
0Oooooo ooooo oooo I have one of those things it came with my coffee grinder! Yea. For once I don’t have to go but the “special tool”
Paula
0Not enough pumpkin flavour. Tasted like milk with a hint of something.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Paula, I’m sorry this recipe didn’t meet your expectations. I suggest adding a little more pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie spice to bump the flavor up.
Karen
0I’m not a coffee drinker, can you please help me make this without coffee? I got a pumpkin spice Creme at SB today made with heavy cream. I’m sure it was prob horrible for me. But tasted ohhh so good. Lol
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Karen, You can easily make this with a strong black tea in place of the coffee.
Alice
0Delicious! Finally a PSL I can live with!!
Lisa Pretulac
0Ok I 100% Think that if I make this decaf coffee I will be having this one for dessert in the evening!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lisa, Yes! This will work perfectly with decaf.
Carrie Goebel
0Love this. Second time making a batch. I got pumpkin puree babyfood that comes in a two pack. Each one is just enough to make a triple recipe. Keeps great in fridge. I just store in blender, covered, in my fridge and give a quick blend before my next cup. Thank you for the fabulous recipe. P.s. I used splenda because thats what I had
Christine
0I thought I wouldn’t like this with the almond milk, but the pumpkin and heavy whipping cream actually make it quite smooth and creamy. I’ve been dying for a fancy latte, and this hit the spot!
Karan Webb
0BEST pumpkin recipe! Super simple, ckean ingredients, and BIG on flavor! Even made it dairy free
Wholesome Yum A
0I love this recipe! I used one tbsp of monk fruit as my sweetener and it turned out great!
Lgh
0This was very good. If you want it to taste a little more like Starbucks, use your favorite Starbucks coffee. I used a Starbucks instant Columbian Via pouch with 4 oz water instead of 8. Needed to adjust the sweetener, but it was very good. An 8 oz. strength might be just right.
Gloria
0Is 100% pumpkin the same as pumpkin puree? I am very excited to try these recipes for Thanksgiving.
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Gloria, yes it is the same.
Julie Blais
0This was SOOOO delicious!! Thanks for posting such a simple, tasty recipe to scratch that fall PSL itch. 🙂
Jan
0Just saw this post and went to make it right away. So easy! So good!
Lathiya
0Oh my, the pumpkin spice latte sounds splendid. I love how you incorporated the keto version too.
Melissa
0I tried this for the first time today and it’s delicious! Thanks for the recipe Maya!
Jenni
0I will never buy a PSL from a coffee shop again! This was SO much easier than I thought it would be! It tasted delicious and I know exactly what is in it!
Whitney
0This is so awesome! So glad I can enjoy the coveted PSL without all that sugar!
Tim D.
0Please forgive the direct brand reference, but it really is the only one I’ve found that has the right flavor to make this work. Another route to the PSL experience that I’ve found recently is to make bulletproof coffee with the Cauldron Aged Pumpkin coffee from Death Wish Coffee. I top it with a little Vietnamese cinnamon for added spice, but with no sweetener at all, it’s a delicious and easy way to kick off the morning with creamy pumpkin goodness! The flavor is a little more subtle than using pumpkin puree, but it’s a little quicker and still scratches that PSL itch for the folks in my house. 🙂
Fran
0What does a frother do that an hand held blender does not?
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Fran, you could use a hand blender — it’s just a little harder to wield for a single-serve drink.
