I like that this latte answers that question why is pumpkin spice latte so popular.
This kind of latte is so popular because it features pumpkin.
Pumpkin reminds people of fall and everything that comes with the season.
The main ingredient in this pumpkin spice latter is pumpkin puree.
However, you can easily sub in Sugar Free Pumpkin syrup along with some Greek Yogurt. I suggest experimenting with the amounts of syup and Greek Yogurt (nonfat) until you get that texture and taste that works best.
This recipe is for anyone asking what is in a pumpkin spice latte.
Making this sugar free latte will certainly answer that question for you.
However, I must also add that unlike most of the the regular fancy coffee shop pumpkin spice lattes, this one does not have all of that sugar in it.
This recipe also calls for hot espresso coffee.
Make sure that you are using espresso that has no added sugar in it if you want to keep this latte sugar free. You can also choose to use any coffee that you prefer if espresso is not for you.
Here are some tips for making pumpkin spice latte.
I just mentioned that you can easily sub in Sugar Free Pumpkin syrup along with some Greek Yogurt for the pumpkin puree. You will need to experiment with the amounts of each ingredient until you get that texture and flavor needed.
Here are some more helpful tips for you.
- This recipe calls for a small amount of pumpkin puree. However, you can freeze extra puree for later use. I like the idea of using ice cube trays, that are covered well, or small freeze containers for easier use later on in recipes.
- Why not make your pumpkin spice latte even better by adding some whipped topping to the top? Here is a recipe for making sugar free whipped cream.
- This recipe calls for milk. However, you can easily use a vegan nut milk or a low carb half an half in place of the milk.
Here is how to make pumpkin puree.
How to Make Pumpkin Puree
Preheat the oven to 325 and cut a small pumpkin in half (some folks like a sweet or baking pumpkin as they have more meat in them). Remove the stem, seeds, and pulp. Cover both of the halves with foil and bake for an hour or until tender. Then while the pumpkin meat is still warm, scoop it from the pumpkin and puree it until done. You can freeze this away for later use!!

Is there a calorie count on the pumpkin spice latte??
SFD
Hi
It would depend on the ingredients that you choose to use. For example, if you used Greek Yogurt and a Sugar Free Pumpkin Syrup instead of pumpkin puree and almond milk instead of regular whole milk, this could have relatively few calories per serving.
However, using alternatives may alter the taste which is something to consider. Do you want the full taste with a few more calories or do you want the lower calorie alternative? I could probably enjoy both 🙂
Thanks!
