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!
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 insanely good! Just add caramel, vanilla, or coffee ice cream to a mug, pour the steamer on top, garnish with whipped cream, and enjoy!
Use Leftover Pumpkin In
- Small Batch Pumpkin Cookies
- Pumpkin Creme Brûlée
- Pumpkin Cupcakes with a cinnamon-cream-cheese frosting
- Glazed Pumpkin Coffee Cake
- Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with a streusel topping

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 🙂
Yay!! Thrilled to hear that! Thanks so much for the review and comment Liberty 🙂
Oh my GOSH!

Chelsea;
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?
Kim
Can you use coconut sugar? I sub almond milk for nearly every regular milk recipe, but coconut milk is a good, rich option too!
I haven’t personally tried coconut sugar in this recipe; I think it could end up a bit grainy though
Chelsea;
