My favorite part about Fall (besides the beautiful weather!) is Pumpkin. I loved pumpkin flavored anything- pumpkin pasta, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin oatmeal (dont hate on it until you try it! my favorite combo is oatmeal (duh), milk, pumpkin, raisins, banana, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice topped with a mixture of mascarpone/honey/cinnamon/vanilla), pumpkin pie…you name anything involving pumpkin, and I am sure that I love it.
I was reading Eating For England Blog and saw that she had a recipe for Starbuck’s Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte. Believe it or not, I have never ordered this at Starbucks before! I usually stick with plain drinks…I should really open up my horizons. But anyway- when I saw this on Angharad’s blog- I knew I had to try it!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 T canned pumpkin
- 1/2 T- 1 T of sugar
- 1 T vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 C strongly brewed coffee (I bought the VIA starbucks packets)
Directions:
- In a saucepan combine milk, pumpkin and sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring, until steaming. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and spice, transfer to a blender and process for 15 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, just whisk the mixture well with a wire whisk or shake in a glass jar (with lid on!).
- Pour into a large mug. Pour the coffee on top and enjoy!
- You could also top with whipped cream and sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, or cinnamon on top.
YUM YUM YUM. This hit the spot. Thanks for posting it up, Angharad! In other news, I just got two new cookbooks in the mail today!! It’s the little things in life, right?! I am excited to try out some new recipes…I am actually trying out a new recipe on Thursday night, so stay tuned. I know you are itching with anticipation! haha
I should probably start up some homework- I am so behind in everything! but somehow I still found time to make a pumpkin spice latte and Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes with Goat Cheese tonight!! ;)

Hi Christina, I really don’t like Starbucks Coffee – way too strong for me. But, I do like their Soy Lattes – I had a Soy Peppermint Latte tonight that I absolutely loved.
I can’t get enough of Starbucks iced soy latte. I order it on special occasions and sometimes add add a pump of flavoring. The pumpkin spice is a good one
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it!
vanilla soy lattes are my fave!!!! and i like the quote on the mug!!
ooh I love pumpkin spice latte’s!!! I just blogged about this recipe and mentioned your site. xoxo
