    Making a pumpkin spice latte at home is quite easy! Here is my vegan pumpkin spice latte recipe with instant coffee!

    I love both coffee and tea equally. You can find different tea recipes on my blog. Soon, I will share different coffee recipes also. I love to explore different coffee and tea recipes, and fall season is incomplete without this pumpkin spice latte.

    • 📖 Recipe

    All you need is some pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin puree to make the latte and during fall it is quite easy to source the ingredients. I have tried this recipe with dairy-based milk /plant-based milk and Indian filter coffee decoction, and instant coffee granules also.

    Vegan latte

    We recently switched to plant-based milk, and I like this coffee with almond milk or oat milk than soy milk; I also used coconut whipped topping, which enhanced the flavor for sure. Ok, I know I am biased to coconut, but trust me, folks, do try it with coconut whipped topping, and you will love the flavor. 

    I have been making this pumpkin latte at home for years now, and when my mom tried it, she said it’s more like sukku-malli kaapi. Sukku malli kaapi is a decaf herbal concoction with the flavors of ground ginger and other spices. The pumpkin spice with the clove and ginger flavor (it has nutmeg, allspice, and other spices, too) reminds our sukku malli kaapi for sure. 

    Ingredients required

    We love the below-mentioned proportion (measurement details in the recipe card), but please adjust as per your taste preference. Don’t go overboard with pumpkin pie spice. It becomes too strong and makes the coffee bitter.

    Milk – I have used almond milk here. You can use milk of your choice.

    Sweetener: I have used raw sugar. Again you can use the sweetener of your choice.

    Instant coffee: I used instant Nescafe coffee granules and used one tsp for 240 ml of milk. For a strong version, you can add up to 1.5 to 2 tsp. 

    Pumpkin puree: I used store-bought pumpkin puree. We need 1 tbsp for this measure. Use homemade puree or store-bought. We need the puree, not the pie filling.

    Pumpkin pie spice: Another key ingredient in this recipe. As I mentioned in my pumpkin juice recipe, you can make your own if you don’t have pumpkin pie spice. I am linking Pioneer women’s recipe for the homemade pumpkin pie spice.

    Vanilla extract: I love adding vanilla extract. It blends well with pumpkin pie spice. But it’s optional.

    Plant-based whipped topping: It’s an optional ingredient, but if you want to relish the cafe-style version, then go for it. I used the coconut whipped topping, and it’s fantastic. Trust me; it pairs well with almond milk. 

    Hot water: We also need hot water to mix the coffee granules, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree. I prefer mixing these ingredients with hot water to avoid lumps.

    Dietary specifications

    It’s a vegan pumpkin spice latte. For a nut-free version, use soy milk and oat milk. Serve this warm with vegan banana bread or cookies, just like cafe-style. 

    How to make vegan pumpkin spice latte

    • Mix the instant coffee granules, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract with two tbsp of hot water. Ensure the coffee granules are combined well. 
    mixing all the ingredients together
    • Bring almond milk to a gentle boil in a saucepan.

    • Bring it to a gentle simmer and turn off the heat.

    • Pour the latte into serving glasses, add the whipped topping, sprinkle some ground cinnamon, and serve warm.

    Recipe notes

    • You can use any milk of choice, oat milk, or soy milk for a nut-free version.
    • I went with instant coffee granules. You can increase the measure for a stronger version.
    • Instead of instant coffee granules, you can use your favorite brew. 
    • Also, use the sweetener of your choice and adjust the measure to taste.

        Hi Swetha, I use Kothas coffee powder that I get here in Indian Grocery store. Also I have the 110 V Indian coffee maker. I prepare the decotion in that. Also I have used Peets coffee and Startbucks fresh ground medium roast coffee for our Indian style one. Peets was good. My fav is always kothas :-) :-)

      Pumpkin Latte always had me intrigued. I was telling S about it and he was like… “enadu.. pumpkin in coffee ah.. no thanks” types :D :D Great to see this recipe here. Given how we get pumpkins almost all through the year, I will try this out :)
