Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte [+VIDEO]

This easy Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte is one of my favorite keto pumpkin recipes. It’s perfect for making sugar-free or low carb lattes at home. Make this drink in less than 5 minutes with instant coffee or hot coffee. Or, enjoy this as a pumpkin spice cold brew. Plus, get tips for the best sugar-free sweeteners to use and ideas for how to make iced, hot, bulletproof, and dairy-free versions.

Why Make a Sugar Free Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte

• Enjoy Pumpkin Season: I’m not sure about you, but my fall is filled with all things Pumpkin Spice, including Keto Pumpkin Bars, Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew, Low Carb Pumpkin Muffins, and more. This recipe is another option to add to the list!
• Cut sugar and carbs: A traditional Tall Pumpkin Spice Latte has about 50g of sugar and 52g of carbs! This version does not use added sugar or refined sugar. So, it only has 3g net carbs per serving. 

Can you drink lattes on keto?

Most people who are on keto are aiming to stay in ketosis. 

With that in mind, we limit the amount of sugar we eat throughout each day. 

While you can certainly make the best choice for you, the amount of sugar in just one regular latte is close to three entire days’ worth of carbs for people who eat standard keto. 

For me, that’s not worth it, for two reasons:

1. If I’m going to be having that many carbs, it definitely won’t be on a coffee drink
2. As you’ll find in this recipe, you absolutely make a creamy, dreamy version without it

Ingredients Needed

• Unsweetened Almond Milk: I’m using dairy-free milk since this is what I prefer, but you can use any unsweetened milk alternative that you wish.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: I always purchase Pumpkin Pie Spice because there are a ton of brands that have just simple ingredients without fillers. However, you can also make it, using a homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe. 
• Vanilla Extract
• Keto Sweetener: I use an all-natural sugar substitute. Both powdered and granular work in this recipe. I prefer this keto sweetener for drinks.
• Pumpkin Puree: I purchase this canned. It is unsweetened. This drink was not tested to with pumpkin pie filling. In fact, you should avoid it to keep the drink keto-friendly
• Hot Coffee
• MCT Oil: this is optional and helps to make the drink more similar to bulletproof coffee.

How to Make Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Spice Latte

1. Add the coffee to a large cup or mug or you can use a blender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the cup with the coffee.
3. Use a hand blender or regular blender to incorporate – it takes about 1 minute to get frothy.
4. Top with sugar free whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin spice

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

• Freeze leftover pumpkin: I tend to not use all of my pumpkin puree, so you can save it in the freezer by putting them in ice cube molds. You can just pop them out of the freezer and use them in this drink or for another purpose as you please. 

The Best Options for Coffee

I prefer to include coffee in my latte. 

But, there are a few ways to incorporate coffee into this drink. I’ll describe each of the three ways below.

1. Use Instant Coffee: When I’m in a rush or on the go, Instant Coffee is my favorite. A little really goes a long way so I only needed ¼ tsp per serving. You can amp up the coffee flavor by adding more.
2. Use Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee: whether you purchase a coffee brew spice or pick up a bag of pumpkin flavored ground coffee, you can add more flavor without calories or sugar with flavored coffee.  
3. Make Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew using my recipe

Best Keto Sweeteners for Drinks

You can use a wide range of keto-friendly sweeteners, such as erythritol, allulose, or stevia. 

When making drinks, such as this sugar free pumpkin spice latte, I find that erythritol blends work best. My personal favorite for drinks is Truvia.

I’ve also used Swerve, but I find that this works best as a sugar substitute for baking.

Making this Bulletproof

In this recipe, you’ll notice that I’ve included MCT Oil. For me, MCT is one of the healthiest fats that I found on keto. 

I tend to prefer it over butter in my “butter coffee” because I personally have found that just a little bit of it helps me get into ketosis. 

I used just one tablespoon of MCT Oil in this drink. You can decide if you want to make your drink bulletproof too!
