Getting on the pumpkin puree in my coffee bandwagon was pretty easy because I like to sneak veggies and beneficial ingredients in where I can. I've made a Beet Latte and a Ginger Turmeric Latte as well.
Pumpkin has such a mild flavor that it is not overwhelming.
I have even made this Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte with sweet potato puree by accident!
It's happened to me a couple of times where I think that I am buying pumpkin puree, then come to find out when I get home, or by the time I open the can, that it is in fact sweet potato puree instead.
You'd think that after the first time, I would have learned. Maybe I could start a new trend - Sweet Potato Latte. To be honest, it tasted pretty similar to the pumpkin version.
Other pumpkin recipes to try are my Vegan Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding recipe, Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream recipe, Vegan Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats recipe.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It is sweet and comforting.
- It is perfect for fall.
- It is easy to make and you get to control the ingredients.
🧾 Ingredients
- Coffee: I like cold brew coffee because it is less acidic.
- Pumpkin purée: Cooked pumpkin purée adds a creamy texture and sweet flavor. Make sure it is not pumpkin pie filling! Pie filling has sugar and spices in it.
- Pumpkin pie spice: For its warming spices.
- Vanilla extract: Adds flavor and enhances the other flavors.
- Coconut milk: I used full-fat coconut milk because it's thick, rich, and creamy.
- Almond milk: For taste and creaminess.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. To keep it sugar-free you could use stevia or your favorite sweetener.

**Important!
If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself.
I learned after posting my Vegan Bulletproof Coffee from some readers on Facebook that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues.
So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life, so this was all news to me.

No more Starbucks for me! This was easy, healthy, and delicious! I love the sweet potato latte idea, even if it was an accident!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Kristen! Haha, accidents in the kitchen are funny - sometimes those are the best recipes!
Chelsea Pearl says
I need to recreate this at home! I can't have PSLs at Starbucks since I'm allergic to carrageenan (it's literally in every drink they serve), so this recipe is perfect for me.
Willow Moon says
I hope you like it Chelsea! It's frustrating being allergic to ingredients, isn't it! I can't have gluten, so I have to be very careful.
Joanie @ One Dish Kitchen says
This looks and sounds perfect to enjoy on a crisp fall morning. I love that used actual pumpkin puree in the recipe, how delicious this must be!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Joanie! It's a great way to sneak veggies into your diet!
Raine says
This looks beautiful! I just got on the pumpkin-spice bandwagon at the end of the last year, so I feel like I need to make up for lost time haha. It's so interesting that you didn't notice much of a difference with sweet potato puree... I'm tempted to try that some time too!
Willow Moon says
If I compared the sweet potato version with the pumpkin, I bet the sweet potato might even be sweeter. Like I said, maybe I can start a new trend!
Jessica Sheppard says
Can't wait to try this!!! It looks delish.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Jessica!
Angie says
Mmm, this looks delicious. I also like that it's vegan, because dairy products and I haven't been on the best of terms lately.
Willow Moon says
That sounds like me with gluten products. I found out quite a few years ago I can no longer tolerate them.
Belle says
That looks really good! Will be trying this out soon!

Pumpkin spice lattes are my favorite! I wait for them to be available at Starbucks every year. I am a vegetarian, but I try to eat vegan as much as I can, so I hate that you can't make a PSL vegan at Starbucks anymore. I always ask for mine to be made with almond or soy milk, but it is so expensive, so this recipe is perfect for me! It will be so much cheaper to make them at home!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Aliza, I hope you like it! I haven't had the Starbuck's version, so I have no idea how it compares. I am guessing theirs is probably a lot sweeter and more indulgent, but mine will at least be healthier!
