Make your own Healthy Pumpkin Spice Syrup, perfect for making your own vegan pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin chai lattes, or for drizzling on top of pancakes! It’s dairy-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free.

Meet my new fall staple: healthy pumpkin spice syrup! I’ve been using this vegan & refined sugar-free pumpkin syrup in my coffee every day since I first made it. It’s a new staple around here – flavorful, super easy to make, and hard to mess up.

Do you know what’s in the pumpkin spice sauce that a certain coffee shop uses? It’s, well, not a great list of ingredients:

Sugar, Condensed Skim Milk, Pumpkin Puree, Contains 2 Or Less Of Fruit And Vegetable Juice For Color, Natural Flavors, Annatto, Salt, Potassium Sorbate, from Starbucks

With this homemade pumpkin spice syrup, you can make your own better-for-you pumpkin spice lattes, for much cheaper, at home, and so deliciously. You can have this pumpkin syrup made in the time it would take for you to drive to the nearest Starbucks!

The Pumpkin Spice Syrup Ingredients!

  • Canned Pumpkin: a lot of this! Make sure to grab pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix, which is pre-spiced and sweetened.
  • Maple Syrup: adds a lovely maple flavor to the syrup, and provides sweetness of course.
  • Coconut Sugar: this helps the syrup get a nice caramelly texture and flavor.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: all the warm spices to enhance the pumpkin.
  • Water: just to thin the syrup out to a pourable consistancy.
  • Vanilla Extract: for extra flavor.

How to make Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup

First, you’ll combine the pumpkin and spices in a small saucepan. You’ll cook them together for about 1 minute, just to cook off any “canned pumpkin” flavor and enhance the spices a bit.

Next, add in the maple syrup, coconut sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and water. Mix to combine and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the coconut sugar is dissolved.

It should have a thin, pourable consistency, with a little bit of caramelly texture. Add more water if it’s thickened more than you’d like. Add vanilla extract, and then pour it into a bottle.

Uses for Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup

  • Make pumpkin spice lattes!
  • Add a few tablespoons to a chai latte to make a pumpkin spice chai!
  • Add to oatmeal or yogurt!
  • Drizzle on pancakes, waffles, and french toast.
  • Add to coconut whipped cream for pumpkin spiced flavored whipped cream.

This makes the perfect kid’s drink! Add a few tablespoons so the warm milk of your choice for a delicious pumpkin spice steamer that your kids will love. It’s like a caffeine-free PSL!
