There’s nothing better than brewing yourself a steaming hot cup of coffee on a cool Fall morning. Actually, I take that back. There’s nothing better than brewing yourself a creamy, pumpkin-laced, warm cup of coffee on a cool Fall morning.
Instead of spending upward of $5 on a cup of coffee over at the local chain or Starbucks, why not create some for yourself that is more keto friendly and more delicious than what they can do? This coffee has delicious notes of fresh pumpkin, cinnamon, and your favorite Fall spices that you’ve come to know and love. Top if all off with a little bit of whipped cream (no coffee creamers needed) and a smidge of extra spice, and you’ve got a delicious home-made pumpkin pie spice latte sitting at your fingertips and ready to drink.
A word of warning: You will need an immersion blender for this. My first attempt was to just mix it together with a spoon, but some of the pumpkin pulp and the spices don’t dissolve fully, and leave you with a tri-layered latte that looks nice, but will have chunks of pumpkin and spices at the bottom as you drink. Not the best way to start off the morning, that’s for sure.
Yields 3 servings of Keto Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte
The Preparation
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup unsweetened carton coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups brewed coffee, strong, freshly brewed
- 15 drops liquid stevia
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
The Execution
1. In a pot over medium-low heat, add the pumpkin, butter, coconut milk, and spices.
2. While the pumpkin mixture is coming together, brew 2 cups worth of strong coffee. I use a Keurig machine to do this.
3. Once the pumpkin mixture is starting to get hot and bubble slightly, mix it together.
4. Stir in your 2 cups of strong coffee well.
5. Add stevia and heavy cream. Take an immersion blender to it and blend it well over the stove-top.
6. Add a little extra whipped cream on top with a pinch more spice. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your morning!

I don’t drink coffee – is there a way I can do this without the coffee and make it into a steamer? Would you recommend more coconut milk or something else altogether? Maybe almond milk?
Yep – coconut milk or almond milk would work!
Is there a way to make this without coffee? Would you recommend adding a particular kind of milk in its place?
You could use coconut or almond milk in place. But if you like tea, then you could use tea instead 🙂
I used rooibos tea for a caffeine-free version, and it’s wonderful! I also added a little bit of xanthan gum to both hold the spices in solution better and for more of a velvety texture.
First of all, I LOVE your 30 day meal plan. Just downloaded it. I recently paid like $500 for another popular low carb bloggers keto meal plan, and it was awful! I appreciate how yours have what a serving size is. I’m trying to calculate everything for myself, and my 6’4” tall active husband, who needs double the calories 🙂 I have two questions. 1. How did you get used to the taste of stevia? Does it just take time? I’m coming from a strict paleo diet, and hate that stevia taste! 2. I’m sure you’ve said this elsewhere, so I apologize, but why use coconut milk from a carton? Is this different than the canned stuff? Thank you SO much for everything you do! I can’t wait to be your next success story!
Thanks Kelly,
For your questions:
1. I’ve been keto for nearly 6 years now. When I first started, I cut out sweet absolutely completely from my diet. I didn’t eat any sweetener or anything for a long time. Once I introduced stevia, erythritol, etc. it didn’t really have much of a “bad” aftertaste. It was just nice being able to taste sweet again. Also, your taste buds adjust to it so you end up using less with time and won’t have as much of an aftertaste with less sweetener.
2. I generally use it from the carton because it’s much less carbs. Usually a can of coconut milk (with the thick cream) is around 6-8g carbs. From the carton, the same amount is about 1-2g carbs. This helps a lot as it’s much less sugar at once.
This is pretty tasty. I’m on day 12 trying out the keto diet, and this is my favorite 🙂
Careful you don’t use Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Easy Mix! Didn’t realize it had 17g of sugar… I’m hoping some exercise will burn up the carbs, haha
can you save the pumpkin mixture in the fridge if you only want to have one serving since this makes three?
I don’t see why not.
Thank you so much for this recipe.. I love pumpkin and was wondering what I was going to do this year when pumpkin hit starbucks this year.. This was awesome. I found a recipe converter so I could make it for just one and I am now in heaven.
Could you use heavy cream instead of coconut milk to add more fat and decrease carbs?
Yes, of course you can. It may be a little bit richer but it’s definitely doable!
Thanks – this looks awesome. Will this mixture keep for a few days? I’d only use 1 serving at a time.
I think it should!
Awesome, now peppermint mocha please!
Sorry if someoone caught this already, but your macros for the coconut milk seem to be WAYYYY off. Silk brand coconut milk has 4 g of fat per 1 cup serving, which makes complete sense with the 46 calories that you list in the recipe. With the listed 45.1 g of fat, the calorie count would have to be over 405 calories for the coconut milk alone, as a gram of fat has 9 calories.
We’re working on updating our nutrition so that everything gets automatically updated. When I had a proofreader go over the recipe, they used the macros for canned coconut milk – I apologize for the mistake.
