Recipe Note
It's quick and easy to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte yourself—without having to rush to the nearest café or supermarket.
If you're new to the Pumpkin Spice universe and are thinking that a pumpkin drink must taste strange, don't worry. The drink gets its name from the delicious spice blend traditionally used for pumpkin dishes in America. So this Pumpkin Spice coffee doesn't taste like a pumpkin from the field, but simply like autumn instead: mild, creamy, with a well-rounded blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg—and just a hint of coffee. And honestly, this Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe has long been a classic among our team.
The hero of the recipe: Our Pumpkin Spice protein powder
If you want to make a Pumpkin Spice Latte yourself, you normally need either a ready-made Pumpkin Spice syrup or you have to make the syrup yourself from many different spices. Our Pumpkin Spice Latte protein powder is basically a shortcut—no supermarket trip or lengthy syrup preparation required. Instead, you can simply stir our powder into milk and your perfect autumn drink, your pumpkin coffee, is ready!
But what exactly is in this powder, and why might it even be better than the syrups usually used?
Basically, this contains everything you need for a good protein powder on the one hand and everything that absolutely belongs in a delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte on the other:
Coffee
The ready-made Pumpkin Spice spice blend
High-quality protein—including pumpkin seed protein!
And why can this even be better than a syrup? You don't have to brew coffee or measure out individual spices. Plus, your fun drink gives you high-quality protein at the same time (win-win), and it's ready in just a few simple steps. Another plus: Our recipe contains no added refined sugar. That's exactly what makes it so great to make this Pumpkin Spice Latte yourself. Any questions? ;)
Even more variations: Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte to suit your taste
Our Pumpkin Spice recipe is the perfect base—but you can of course customize it however you like. Here are a few ideas for making your Pumpkin Spice Latte in a way that turns your wildest Pumpkin Spice dreams into reality:
Extra coffee kick: If you simply can never have enough coffee, just stir in an extra shot of espresso.
Vanilla version: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a little vanilla paste. This wonderfully rounds out the spices and smooths out the drink's flavor.
Extra spicy: Freshly grated ginger or a pinch of black pepper add extra warmth and depth – turning your latte into a truly spicy Pumpkin Latte in no time.
Deluxe pumpkin version: Stir 1 tablespoon of pumpkin purée (fresh or canned) into the warm milk – this gives you a real pumpkin flavor and a slightly creamy texture.
The iced version – just as cozy when cold
Pumpkin Latte also works cold – and it works really well. That's exactly why here's a guide on how to make your Pumpkin Spice Latte cold: Simply add the 30 g of powder to 300 ml of cold oat milk, shake vigorously in a shaker, or mix it in a cup with a milk frother. Then simply pour it over a glass full of ice cubes and enjoy.
This version is perfect for warmer autumn days or even hot late-summer days, depending on how early you want to get into the autumn spirit! And before the first critics arrive: You can always make yourself a Pumpkin Spice Latte whenever you want. If you don't want to start autumn until October, that's absolutely fine. But if you're one of those people who start looking forward to autumn at the beginning of August, you can happily make yourself a Pumpkin Spice Latte now. Of course, it tastes best when the first leaves outside start turning colorful and the wind gradually becomes cooler.
Substitution table
Want to make this recipe, but are you missing something from the fridge right now? No problem – here are the alternatives that worked best in our tests:
Oat milk → soy milk (froths similarly well and has a more neutral taste), almond milk (lighter, with a subtle nutty flavor), coconut milk (a more exotic note that goes well with pumpkin spice), or cow's milk (froths reliably if you aren't vegan)
Vetain Vegan Protein Iced-Coffee Pumpkin Spice → 1 espresso and the classic syrup, either store-bought or homemade
Plant-based whipped cream or barista milk for frothing → regular whipped cream if being vegan isn't important to you right now, or simply leave it out
