PUMPKIN LATTE
I remember my first taste of a Pumpkin Latte! I was in the cutest coffee shop in Vermont visiting my really fun aunt, Julie. There was a Pumpkin Latte on the menu for the month of October and I thought I MUST try it!
I also worked at a coffee shop when I was in high school, which is where my passion for baked goods came along. We always got to bring home the leftover cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones, cookies that were left from the day, which wasn’t the best for my health! However, it is the reason I started writing keto recipes of my favorites like this keto Pumpkin Latte! I hope you enjoy!

TESIMONY OF THE DAY
“Hi Maria! I wanted to let you know how much I love your blog, Facebook info, books and of course your recipes. I have not personally had a one on one consultations with you, although I have been to your seminars (which are awesome). For some reason today I felt I needed to share something with your readers.
I have struggled for almost 20 years with not feeling well. I knew something was wrong but didn’t know how to go about fixing it. Also like many others, the thought of giving up foods that you love was not something I thought I could do. Well….here I am today to tell you I can do it. I am on day 27 of no gluten, no sugar! I was so sick I had to do a yeast cleanse and am currently doing a liver cleanse. It is not easy to remove food that has such a strong hold in your life BUT once you do…..it is awesome! I don’t have cravings any more nor do I think about food all day, which is huge for me.
I am finally starting to feel better so that is a big plus. The best part is…..even though I know I will never eat wheat again, it is okay because I know how to cook Maria style! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insight about food and how it affects our bodies. To those new to this way of eating….you can do it! Don’t wait for the perfect time to start. It will not be easy but once you get used to it, you will be happy that you did it! Thanks or letting me share.” -Shelly!

What a great alternative to those high calorie pumpkin lattes that are now in season.
Can’t wait to try this. Thank you for listing the nutrition facts. You rock!
I just made this and it was really terrific. 100% guilt free, tremendously tasty and I think every bit as good as Starbucks without the ridiculous pricetag. Thanks so much!!
Thanks Jenni! You totally made my morning;)))
Do you have a recipe for Spiced Chai?
Ok, stupid question… when you say 4 TBS of pumpkin… do you mean the actual pumpkin pulp? If so, are you pureeing the pulp? Thanks!
I don’t believe there are stupid questions;)))
I used canned pumpkin (my mother in law cans her own). But don’t mistake this for the sweetened pie filling brands;)
Think it would be ok to use coconut milk?
Oh yes! Coconut milk would add great flavor!
Is it ok to heat either coconut milk or almond milk? You said not to use the pumpkin pie mix in the cans, do you just take pieces of pumpkin and grind in food processor? Thank you!! As you can tell from my questions I am new at this and adjusting to a new way of eating.
How did you get the calories and carbs to come out so low? Mine is saying 101 calories and 7 carbs.

Enjoy!
Hey Lisa-
I just updated the stats:)
I use Silk Almond Milk, which is 35 calories/cup. Is that the kind you used?
This sounds soooo good! Just need to pick up some pumpkin!
I can’t wait to try this one!
I use my mother-in-laws homemade canned pumpkin, but you can use this kind: http://astore.amazon.com/marisnutran05-20/detail/B0054ROIRK
Happy Drinking!
How do you mix it? Do you just stir or do you use a blender?
Linda…all fixed:) I used a blender.:)
whats the whipped cream you have on top?
That is just cream whipped with a little stevia glycerite. 🙂
I just came to your blog looking for a vanilla latte recipe. I wonder if this would be good without the pumpkin and spice. Any ideas?
It’s worth a try! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Made these today for my hubby and I and they were delicious! Every bit as good as a coffee shop. I will be making this again and again!
Thank you! 🙂
I made these today for lunch – delicious! I put a little cinnamon in mine because I love cinnamon and pumpkin. Maria – an other winner.

Have been making a version of Pumpkin lattes for those of us who cannot tolerate caffeine (not even decaf!). Brew strong cup herbal tea (Bengal Spice-yum). Blend together with coconut oil, gelatin, pumpkin, pumpkin spices, glug heavy cream, stevia glycerite. Breakfast made.
AWESOME recipe! I used ceylon cinnamon so needed no other spice as there’s such a depth of flavor to that cinnamon…tastes like nutmeg and cloves faintly along with the cinnamon. I used a pinch of salt also as most store drinks are salty, believe it or not.
I used 1/4c heavy cream and 1/4c decaf coffee and 1c coconut milk for the base but next time I bet I could just use 1/2c coconut milk & 1/2c water with the 1/4c cream & coffee and it will still be very rich and LIKE A COFFEE SHOP LATTE. This kills any desire for pumpkin bars or pie and such, that are in such abundance this time of year. Kudos, Maria!
Now I need a way to give it that great body & taste with the silky pumpkin but for chocolate or vanilla or blueberry! What can I use, what can I use, hmmm (thinking)
I may try some cream cheese instead of cream next time and not use any spices to see if I could get that cheesecake tang flavor & body to come through…or a bit of ricotta…and then some blueberry flavoring.
Thanks!
I made a kale shake today with the latte ingredients (upped coffee to 1/2c) plus 3 eggs and kale. Couldn’t taste the coffee at all, so next time I won’t bother with it at all. I also used 6 ice cubes to make it thick and icy. Hey, it had kale in it but it was still quite good. Really loving that rich & pumpkin-y taste still!
Thanks!
I am enjoying my Cuisinart hand blender that thanks to you I saved $105.00 on. I think I will try it on this recipe. I made Pumpkin Mousse this morning with it. Thank you for alerting me to the sale.
Just made this! It’s is so YUMMY! Thank you so much! This is a keeper!
Awesome!!!!
