If you’ve ever wondered how to make Pumpkin Spice Lattes without dairy, sugar, chemicals, and caffeine this recipe is for you! My superfood PSL is made with dandelion coffee, coconut milk, real pumpkin, and a touch of honey.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Lattes
Filled with freshly ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, I love this Pumpkin Spice Latte so much that I drink it year round. These antioxidant-rich spices give this superfood latte a deep depth of authentic flavor.
With incredibly nourishing ingredients, you’ll get a great boost of energy without the high-carb hangover and caffeinated letdown that traditional Pumpkin Spice Lattes deliver. Better yet? This Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe is dairy-free, made with coconut milk instead of cow’s milk.
What’s in a Pumpkin Spice Latte?
Did you ever wonder what’s in Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte? My curiosity reappears every fall when the advertisements for this delectable looking drink are rolled out. I’ve created my own recipe in order to avoid the 50 grams of sugar that a 16 ounce Pumpkin Spice Latte is said to contain.
Low-Carb Pumpkin Spice Latte
If you’ve always dreamed of sipping on a low-carb Pumpkin Spice Latte you’re in luck. Pumpkin is a naturally low-carb food and my superfood latte is sweetened with less than a teaspoon of honey per serving. For those following a Keto Diet, simply leave out this sweetener and add a couple extra drops of stevia.

I love roasting a pumpkin to make this soothing dairy-free drink, and I keep freshly roasted pumpkin in my fridge during fall and winter. To learn how to roast a pumpkin check out my quick and easy tutorial! You can also experiment with leaving the pumpkin out of this recipe.

I can’t wait to try this. Per others’ comments, I have tried the Teechino, but just couldn’t bring myself to like it. I tried! Then I tried Dandy Blend on Amazon, and oh my gosh! It’s amazing. I LOVE the flavor, and it dissolves instantly in any liquid, making it a cinch to add to smoothies, hot drinks, cold drinks, etc. It’s really an amazing dandelion drink blend. Just thought I’d pass on that tidbit of info. It’s a spendy 2-lb bag on Amazon, but it lasts a very long time as you only need a teaspoon to make yourself a yummy cup of “coffee.”

Love this PSL! I wanted to pin it but, Pinterest doesn’t support that file type (.webp) for images. If you have another image, I’ll pin it. Just let me know.
Love all of your work and all that you do!

I would use Silk brand almond milk. Blue Diamond has carageenan in it.
Lana says
Sounds delicious. I make regular almond milk latte all the time. I have to try this one.
Chanelle says
Is there anything i can use instead of vanilla stevia?
Dina says
I would love to make this but unfortunately I have an intolerance to coconut. Do you have a substitute suggestion?
I just made your dandelion coffee! Love it.
Thank you!

Is it possible to use an immersion blender ? I find I always make a mess when I put a lid on hot coffee to blend
Elana says
Wendy, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Cassie says
These latte’s are the bomb dot com. Made them for some friends as dessert after bbq, and we slurped them down and made more. Thank you posting, your recipes are always solid. Along with a Fall Produce Guide I shared a slightly varied version here bc I didn’t have all the ingredients : http://www.thecleansheep.com/2013/09/fall-produce-guide/ :-) Keep the g-free goodness coming!!

Thanks a lot for this fabulous recipe. Just tried it tastes great!
The best: I can enjoy it while on the GAPs Diet.
Nina says
Yum. I use teechino but I would try this. I have read the ingredients in the Starbuk’s version. It is pretty scary and has a ton of sugar.
