WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS DIY LATTE

Less sugar:In a tall 12 oz cup pumpkin spice latte at ****bucks, there are about 300 calories and 40 grams ofsugar, which is 10 teaspoons of sugar!
This homemade version has half the sugar; the cane sugar can be completely omitted or reduced to your liking. There is also only 200 calories per serving.
Loaded with pumpkin:This recipe has real pumpkin puree, not just syrup that tastes like pumpkin. That makes this latte so much more decadent!
Cheaper than buying it:Lattes can be expensive if you have them frequently. So, occasionally, it’s nice to whip it up at home at a fraction of the cost to buy it and only 5 minutes to prepare.
Tastes like fall:It has all the fall flavors in one cup and is cozy and comforting. It’s like a big hug in a mug!

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

Pumpkin Purée:This requires a couple of tablespoons of pumpkin puree. We like to use canned pumpkin, and you can also make your puree at home. If going with canned pumpkin, ensureit’s not the pumpkin pie filling.You want just plain pumpkin purée.
Coffee:This requiresPeacemaker Dark Roastrobust-tasting coffee orPeacemaker Coffee Company - Pumpkin Pie Coffee. We usedPeacemaker Coffee CompanyDark Roast black coffee, but you could use decaf. Expresso also works great in this recipe.
