This vegan pumpkin spice latte is made with REAL pumpkin and spices, and is bursting with cozy fall flavor! Can be made hot or iced.

Let me just start off by saying that I don’t CARE if this is “basic”, or whatever they’re calling it nowadays. Pumpkin Spice Lattes (or #PSL, as they’re known) are pretty darn delicious. I remember there was a year when my sister got a venti from Starbucks every day, she was so addicted! However, it wasn’t until 2015 that Starbucks actually began to put real pumpkin in their PSL. Um, what?

Listen, I love a good artificially flavored goodie now and again. But when it comes to flavors in my coffee, you can’t beat the real thing! Especially when it comes to an ingredient like pumpkin, which is so easy to work with. That’s why I love this vegan pumpkin spice latte – you make it with REAL pumpkin, REAL spices, and just a bit of pure maple syrup for sweetness. In my humble opinion, it’s WAY better than its counterpart at SBux.

I promise that you will LOVE this vegan pumpkin spice latte. YES, it is refined-sugar free and vegan, but it’s also delicious, and that’s the most important thing. :) Happy #PSL Season!!

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte FAQs

What is the best milk alternative for Pumpkin Spice Latte?

I personally like to switch it up between almond milk, which gives a delicious nutty flavor, and oat milk, which gives an oatmeal cookie vibe. But you can choose whatever plant-based milk you like, such as macadamia nut milk, soy milk, or cashew milk!

Why isn’t Starbucks pumpkin spice vegan?

The Starbucks PSL recipe contains condensed milk in the syrup, and I don’t believe there is an alternative. Luckily, this recipe is the perfect alternative!

Can you get a vegan PSL?

I don’t believe you can get one at Starbucks because their pumpkin spice syrup contains condensed milk. But no worries – this recipe checks all the flavor boxes without using any non-vegan products!

What are the Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte calories?

This recipe contains 155 calories of natural, plant-based foods. It’s also high in nutrients such as potassium, Vitamin A, and calcium. But please note that these numbers may vary depending on what type of milk you use!

Can I use a Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte mix?

You can if you find one out there that you like, but why not make a PSL at home with whole-food ingredients? This recipe only takes minutes to make, but pays back in delicious flavor!
