I am a warm blooded human, so of course I crave a Pumpkin Spice Latte the moment there’s a chill in the air or even a single leaf falls of the tree in my front yard. As much as I love a good PSL, my stomach does not agree with the quantity in which I’d like to consume them.

So I came up with this healthier Pumpkin Spice Steamer. Made with almond milk, no coffee and no sugary syrups. Now I can have that pumpkin spice flavor as often as I want at a fraction of the price and calories.

Pumpkin Spice Steamer Crème | Starbucks copycat. It's the Pumpkin Spice Latte without the coffee. A perfect winter day hot drink. Fresh ingredients, full of fall flavor.

Simple ingredients for a homemade pumpkin spice steamer…

Milk or Dairy Substitute – I usually make this with my trusty Blue Diamond almond milk, but my friends who are not lactose-challenged love it with 2% milk.

Pumpkin Purée – Be sure to grab regular purée, not pumpkin pie filling (the cans look so similar and I’ve been fooled before). I always find myself reaching for Libby’s brand. After a little research, I found there’s good reason for that. Check out this article about the best canned pumpkin from Epicurious.

Brown Sugar – This is where the magic happens. I use dark brown sugar almost exclusively because I like the deeper molasses flavor. If you want to go really dark and flavorful, try Billingtons Natural Dark Brown Molasses Sugar (also called Muscovado Sugar on the Great British Baking Show). This has not gone through the process of being refined and then molasses put back in, like regular brown sugar.

Pumpkin Pie Spice – I prefer McCormick’s because of the flavor AND I love that they are a socially responsible company that has been recognized for their diversity and sustainability. Whenever possible, I like to support companies that have more than one bottom line.

To make this Pumpkin Spice Steamer, simply…

COMBINE all ingredients in a blender. BLEND really well to make lots of foam. I run mine for about 90 seconds.

POUR mixture into a saucepan and heat until steaming, not boiling.

Side Note: The reason you almost never boil milk or almond milk is because it basically burns it and creates a sharp “burny” flavor. This is especially true with almond milk, which tastes like burnt almonds when boiled. Blech. So keep an eye on your hot drink.

LAST, I love to top off my Pumpkin Spice Steamer with coconut whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. TOTAL YUM!!!

Can I make more than one serving at a time?

Yup! I like to double my recipe and save 1/2 in the fridge for later in the day or the next morning. Simply pour into a saucepan and heat it up when you’re ready. You may lose some foam, so you can re-blend if you’d like to.

How long will it last in the fridge?

It depends on the freshness of your pumpkin purée and milk, but if everything is fresh, it will keep up to 5 days in a covered container. So feel free to make a big batch and just heat when you’ve got a PSL hankering.
