How to Make a Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte
Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Prepare 1 cup of strong coffee.
For a stronger coffee-shop-style flavor, use:
- Two double shots of espresso
- Dark-roast coffee
- Cold-brew concentrate
Pour the prepared coffee into two large mugs.
Set aside while making the pumpkin cream mixture.
Step 2: Add the Milk and Cream
Place a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add:
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Heavy whipping cream
Whisk gently.
Heat until warm but not boiling.
Small bubbles may begin forming around the outside of the saucepan.
Avoid bringing the mixture to a rapid boil because high heat may affect the texture of the cream.
Step 3: Add the Pumpkin
Whisk in the pumpkin puree.
Continue whisking until the pumpkin is evenly blended into the milk mixture.
Use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling.
Pumpkin pie filling often contains added sugar and additional ingredients.
Step 4: Add the Sweetener and Spices
Add:
- Keto sweetener
- Vanilla
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Cinnamon
- Salt
Whisk until combined.
Allow the mixture to heat gently for approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Continue whisking occasionally.
The sweetener should dissolve and the spices should become fragrant.
Step 5: Froth the Pumpkin Milk
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Use a handheld milk frother for approximately 20 to 30 seconds.
Froth until the mixture becomes light and slightly foamy.
You may also transfer the mixture to a countertop milk frother.
For less foam, simply whisk vigorously by hand.
Step 6: Combine With Coffee
Divide the pumpkin milk mixture between the two mugs.
Pour slowly over the brewed coffee.
Stir gently.
Taste and add additional sweetener if desired.
Step 7: Add the Toppings
Top with sugar-free whipped cream.
Sprinkle with:
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin pie spice
Add a small amount of sugar-free caramel syrup for a caramel pumpkin latte.
Serve immediately.
How to Make an Iced Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte
This recipe can easily be served cold.
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients
Use the same ingredients, but allow the coffee to cool before assembling.
Instructions
- Prepare the pumpkin milk mixture as written.
- Allow it to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
- Refrigerate until chilled.
- Fill a large glass with ice.
- Pour the coffee over the ice.
- Add the chilled pumpkin cream mixture.
- Stir until combined.
- Add sugar-free whipped cream if desired.
For a stronger iced drink, freeze coffee inside an ice-cube tray.
Coffee ice cubes help prevent the latte from becoming watery.
How to Make a Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte Without Espresso
You do not need an espresso machine.
Use strongly brewed coffee instead.
For a deeper coffee flavor:
- Use dark-roast coffee
- Add additional coffee grounds while brewing
- Use coffee concentrate
- Brew coffee in a French press
Avoid using weak coffee because the pumpkin and cream may overpower the flavor.
How to Make a Dairy-Free Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte
Replace the heavy cream with:
- Unsweetened coconut cream
- Full-fat canned coconut milk
- Additional unsweetened almond milk
Coconut cream creates the richest dairy-free version.
Check ingredient labels carefully because some plant-based creamers contain added sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Use Coconut Milk?
Yes.
Use unsweetened coconut milk.
For a creamy texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk.
For a lighter latte, use refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk.
The latte may have a mild coconut flavor.
Can You Use Regular Milk?
You can, but regular dairy milk contains more naturally occurring sugar and carbohydrates than unsweetened almond milk.
The exact carbohydrate amount depends on the type and portion used.
For a lower-carb latte, unsweetened almond milk combined with heavy cream creates a rich texture with fewer carbohydrates.
What Keto Sweetener Works Best in Pumpkin Spice Lattes?
A monk fruit-allulose blend works well because it dissolves smoothly in warm liquids.
You may also use:
- Allulose
- Monk fruit sweetener
- Liquid stevia
- Liquid monk fruit
- Powdered erythritol blend
Start with a small amount and adjust based on your preferred sweetness.
Liquid sweeteners are especially convenient for iced lattes because they blend into cold drinks more easily.
How to Keep Pumpkin Spice From Settling
Natural pumpkin and spices may settle slightly as the latte sits.
To reduce settling:
- Blend the ingredients thoroughly
- Use a milk frother
- Stir before drinking
- Use finely ground spices
Some separation is normal because this recipe contains real pumpkin.
How to Make the Latte Extra Creamy
For an even richer latte:
- Add 2 additional tablespoons of heavy cream
- Use a countertop milk frother
- Add 1 tablespoon of cream cheese while warming the mixture
- Add additional sugar-free whipped cream
If using cream cheese, whisk thoroughly until smooth.
How to Make a Sugar-Free Caramel Pumpkin Spice Latte
Add:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar-free caramel syrup
Stir the syrup into the warm pumpkin milk.
Top with whipped cream and a small caramel drizzle.
How to Make a Keto Vanilla Pumpkin Latte
Add:
- 1 additional teaspoon vanilla extract
Or add:
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla syrup
Reduce the sweetener slightly if the syrup is already sweetened.
How to Make a Keto Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte
Add:
- ½ teaspoon sugar-free maple extract
Or use:
- Sugar-free maple syrup
Start with a small amount because maple extract can have a strong flavor.
How to Make a Keto Pumpkin Mocha
Add:
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Whisk the cocoa into the warm milk mixture.
Add additional sweetener if needed.
Top with sugar-free whipped cream.
How to Make a Keto Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino
Allow all ingredients to cool.
Add to a high-speed blender:
- Prepared coffee
- Pumpkin milk mixture
- 1½ cups ice
Blend until smooth.
For a thicker drink, add:
- More ice
- A small amount of xanthan gum
Use only a very small pinch of xanthan gum.
Too much may create a gummy texture.
Can You Prepare Pumpkin Spice Latte Mix Ahead of Time?
Yes.
Prepare the pumpkin milk mixture without the coffee.
Allow it to cool.
Store inside an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to approximately 4 days.
Shake or stir before using.
Warm gently on the stovetop.
Add to freshly brewed coffee.
How to Store Leftover Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte

The pumpkin and spices may settle.

How to Reheat a Pumpkin Spice Latte

Heat over low heat.
Whisk occasionally.
Avoid boiling.
You may also microwave the latte in short intervals.
Stir every 20 to 30 seconds.
Is Pumpkin Keto-Friendly?
Pumpkin may fit into a low-carb eating plan when used in moderate portions.
This recipe uses only 2 tablespoons of pumpkin for two servings.
Can I Make This Without Pumpkin?
Yes.
Omit the pumpkin puree.
Increase the pumpkin pie spice slightly for a pumpkin-spice-flavored latte without real pumpkin.
Can I Use Instant Coffee?
Yes.
Prepare strong instant coffee according to the package instructions.
Use less water for a more concentrated flavor.
