Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Latte

This Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte is one you can make at home without all of the excess sugar. This rivals Starbucks PSL, but is low calorie with only 42 cals and 1 gram of carbs. It’s made with real pureed pumpkin along with pie spice for the perfect blend of flavor.

A grande pumpkin spice latte with 2 percent milk and whipped cream is 380 calories at Starbucks. This includes 14 grams of fat, 52 gram of carbs and 50 grams of sugar. Granted, this is also 16 oz of coffee, but even half of the serving is still 25 grams of sugar, which is a bit much for a drink (for me).

That’s why I love making my own at home! This is perfect for fall or for when any time you have the craving for pumpkin.

Key Recipe Ingredients

• Coffee
• Milk of Choice
• Pureed Pumpkin
• Sweetener
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Vanilla Extract

What Type of Sweetener to Use

I like to use Lakanto’s granular monkfruit sweetener Monkfruit is zero-calorie, zero-carb, and is made without the use of artificial sweeteners. The best thing about it, is it measures 1:1 to like table sugar. This makes it super easy to convert conventional recipes. No need to look into a conversion table, it’s an even swap, which is super convenient!

It also tastes like sugar. There’s no aftertaste or cooling effect like you find with some sweeteners. The perfect mix of monk fruit extract and erythritol with no fiber, no maltodextrin, and no artificial flavoring or sweeteners.

What Type of Pumpkin to Use

The type of pumpkin you buy is crucial. When purchasing canned pumpkin, be sure the label says 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. You can grab it here from Amazon. Pumpkin pie filling is sweetened and loaded with sugar.

You can also use pumpkin that you puree yourself.

Milk Without Sugar

There are 12 grams of natural sugar (lactose) per 8 ounces of milk, this includes 1%, 2%, whole, and fat-free-skim milk. Flavored milk like chocolate milk has double the amount of sugar, 24 grams total because of the added sugar.

Compared to animal milk, unsweetened almond milk is low in sugar and carbohydrates. It has 50% to 80% fewer calories than dairy milk while remaining similarly rich in flavor. It’s considered a low glycemic index food as a result. This means almond milk is less likely to cause blood sugar spikes. You can read more about the Health Benefits of Almond Milk here.

Unsweetened coconut milk also doesn’t have sugar. Any milk you prefer will work fine in this recipe.
