Pumpkin Spice Coffee Recipe

Make this pumpkin spice coffee recipe for your favorite cozy, warm fall flavors at home, plus options to turn this into an easy homemade pumpkin spice latte drink!

Fall is finally beginning to set in here in the south, and the cooler morning breezes have me in the mood for pumpkin everything…

Every year at this time, I find myself trying to slow down the harvest and holiday seasons so we can savor every part of it. I like to add special holiday touches to even the smallest things, and this pumpkin spice coffee recipe is the perfect example!

Plus, this has got to be one of the easiest holiday “recipes” ever. In fact, it’s really more of a “method” than a recipe. You just add two simple pantry staples to your basic pot of coffee in a coffee maker (or a French press, if you prefer) and, in minutes, you’ve transformed it into the perfect cup of warm, cozy pumpkin spice coffee!

PUMPKIN SPICE COFFEE RECIPE

In addition to how crazy easy this pumpkin spice coffee recipe is, it’s also:

• Healthier. Did you know that a single blend of commercially flavored coffee could have as many as 80 different chemicals added to it? The fewer processed and chemically laden foods we eat, the better we feel.
• Delicious. The subtle natural flavors of the spices make all the difference compared to store-bought flavored coffee grounds.
• Fun! It’s perfect for when company comes to visit for the holidays, or for weekends at home. Imagine…no more running to the coffee shop for a pumpkin spice latte on a chilly fall morning!

PUMPKIN SPICED COFFEE RECIPE INGREDIENTS

Making this pumpkin spiced coffee recipe couldn’t be easier. Here’s what you need:

• Coffee Grounds. For your standard 12-cup pot of coffee.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice. I keep a big batch of Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice ready to go for all of my fall favorites.
• Pure Maple Syrup. I love the sweetness of syrup with this strong coffee. It gives just the right amount of sweetness! You can also use brown sugar to lightly sweeten the pot of coffee.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PUMPKIN SPICE COFFEE

Step 1. Place the coffee grounds in the filter, then sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice on top.

Step 2. Fill the coffee maker with water, then pour maple syrup into the bottom of the empty carafe.

Step 3. Set the carafe in the coffee maker and brew as usual.

That’s it! Serve your hot coffee with your favorite creamer, whole milk, or non-dairy milk (almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk!) to top it off.

If you prefer cold brew coffee, add the pumpkin spice mix in with your coffee grounds in your favorite cold brewed coffee maker. Mix with milk to make an iced latte!

MACRO FRIENDLY PUMPKIN SPICE COFFEE RECIPE

I love making this pumpkin spiced coffee recipe because you get the flavor of a pumpkin latte coffee drink without all of the calories and sugar.

While you do get some carbohydrates from the maple syrup, they’re spread out over the entire pot of coffee, so unless you’re drinking the whole pot yourself, you’ll be able to have a flavored drink without throwing off your macros and nutrition.

HOW TO MAKE A PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE

You can also enjoy a homemade pumpkin spice latte drink.

Step 1. Brew the pumpkin spice coffee recipe using the method in this post.

Step 2. Add 2 Tablespoons of cream OR ½ cup of hot milk to your mug of coffee, plus 2 Tablespoons of pumpkin puree and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir to combine. (Or pop everything into a mason jar and shake well, but be careful, because it gets hot!)

Step 3. Taste and add additional maple syrup and/or pumpkin pie spice if desired. Note that if you’re adding more spice mix, you may need to use a milk frother to get it to fully incorporate into the pumpkin latte coffee.

Step 4. Top with Homemade Whipped Cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional, but fun)!
