What Is Pumpkin Spice Latte?
A pumpkin spice latte is a cozy coffee drink made with real pumpkin, warm fall spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. It’s super popular during the fall season and can be enjoyed hot or iced—whichever you prefer!
Is Pumpkin Spice Latte Keto-Friendly?
The classic pumpkin spice latte from coffee shops isn’t keto-friendly because it’s usually made with regular milk, sugary syrups, and sweet whipped cream—all high in carbs.
The good news? You can easily make a keto-friendly version at home using low-carb ingredients like unsweetened almond milk, real pumpkin puree, and a sugar-free sweetener. You get all the cozy fall flavor without the extra carbs!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this cozy keto pumpkin spice latte at home. Here’s what goes into it:
- Pumpkin Puree – Use plain canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree. Just make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling, which is packed with added sugar.
- Sweetener – I used granulated erythritol, but you can also use monk fruit, allulose, or a keto-friendly maple syrup for extra fall flavor. A brown sugar substitute works great too!
- Unsweetened Almond Milk – This keeps it low carb and dairy-free. You can also use coconut milk or heavy creamfor a creamier texture.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – This warm spice blend is the heart of the recipe. You can make it at home using cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves or use store-bought.
- Strong Brewed Coffee – Use your favorite brewed coffee or even espresso for a stronger flavor.
- Whipped Cream (optional) – Top it with a spoonful of homemade keto whipped cream. It adds creaminess without all the carbs you’d get from the canned versions.
How To Make Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Latte
Once you see how quick and simple it is to whip up this cozy, sugar-free pumpkin spice latte, you’ll want to make it all season long. Here’s how to do it:
- Warm the Pumpkin Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, sweetener, unsweetened almond milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Simmer Gently: Let the mixture warm up and gently simmer, but don’t let it boil. Once it’s hot and steamy, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add Coffee: Stir in your brewed coffee or espresso and mix well.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour your pumpkin latte into mugs and top with a big dollop of homemade keto whipped cream. Sprinkle with a little extra pumpkin spice on top if you’d like!
Tips and Variations
- Adjust the creaminess: If you like a richer, thicker drink, add a little more pumpkin puree or reduce the milk. For a lighter version, add extra milk.
- Use your favorite milk: Almond milk works great, but you can also use coconut milk, macadamia milk, or even unsweetened cashew milk.
- Make it iced: Craving a cold drink? Let the pumpkin mixture cool slightly, then pour it over ice with cold brew or chilled coffee. Delicious and refreshing!
- Double-check your spices: If using store-bought pumpkin spice, check the label to make sure there’s no added sugar or fillers.
- Pure pumpkin only: Be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not canned pumpkin pie filling, which usually contains added sugar and spices.
- Add healthy fats: For extra creaminess and a boost of healthy fats, stir in a spoonful of MCT oil, coconut oil, or a little butter. Great for a bulletproof-style drink that keeps you full longer.
- Make it frothy: Use a milk frother or blender to mix everything after heating for a frothy café-style latte at home.
- Use espresso instead of brewed coffee: If you want a stronger coffee flavor, replace the brewed coffee with a double shot of espresso.
Storing Ideas
You can make the pumpkin mixture ahead of time and keep it in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to enjoy a warm cup, just reheat the pumpkin mix, add hot coffee, give it a quick stir, and top with whipped cream. Perfect for busy mornings when you want something cozy and quick!
