Starbucks Copycat Recipe

Pumpkin Spice Latte Steamers are quick, delicious, and a fall must-have, especially for the kids! I first ordered a pumpkin steamer for my boys at Starbucks, but I ended up drinking more of theirs.

Steamed milk, pumpkin, spice, and whipped cream make it irresistible. Since then, my boys ask for one almost every morning, and we’ve gone through a ton of pumpkin this year—but let’s keep that healthy secret to ourselves!

The ingredients for a pumpkin spice latte steamer being combined in a blender.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Steamer ingredients

  • Canned pumpkin: Use 100% pureed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. 
  • Dark brown sugar: Light brown sugar will also work, I love the flavor of dark brown sugar.
  • Pumpkin pie spice: Buy it or make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice.
  • Ground cinnamon: Adjust to your personal preferences.
  • Salt: Just a tiny bit balances the sweetness and intensifies flavors.
  • Whole milk: Whole milk is going to make the richest and creamiest drink, but any milk will work.
  • Sweetened condensed milk: Use the leftover can in these Pumpkin Poke Cake or this No-bake Pumpkin Cheesecake.
  • Vanilla: It rounds out and intensifies the flavor of Pumpkin Spice Latte Steamer.

Make It A Float

These floats are so good! Just add caramel, vanilla, or coffee ice cream to a mug, pour the steamer on top, garnish with whipped cream, and enjoy!

    This is a great recipe! Way better than Starbucks. I am usually fairly skeptical of online recipes because they tend to be a hit or miss, but I am definitely glad I came across this one. Surprisingly, I found very few “pumpkin spice latte” recipes that actually called for any pumpkin spice, so I was glad to see this one actually try to incorporate ingredients reminiscent of a pumpkin pie. Also – I really like the addition of sweetened condensed milk. That’s something I would have never thought of. This recipe really captures the drink in the best way 🙂

    Hi,i have all of the ingredients to make your psl latte but i am actose intolerant.
    What other kind of liquid can i put in your psl latte?
    I am also a diabetic so i can’t have brown sugar or white sugar in your psl latte.Can i use stevia or a no sugar added sweetener in your latte?

    1. Heidi says:

      Can you use coconut sugar? I sub almond milk for nearly every regular milk recipe, but coconut milk is a good, rich option too!

      1. Chelsea Lords says:

        I haven’t personally tried coconut sugar in this recipe; I think it could end up a bit grainy though
