After trying the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, I knew that it was time to create my own healthier version. It is fall after all so there really is not a better time! My husband and I tested this pumpkin spice latte recipe so many times before we got it right. It resulted in this wonderfully cozy, creamy and comforting homemade pumpkin latte with an incredible mix of warm pumpkin spice flavors.

We used simple, healthy ingredients like real pumpkin, freshly brewed coffee, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice all blended beautifully together to make this pumpkin spice latte that is lighter but still crazy delicious!
