    Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk Latte -- An easy golden milk recipe fit for fall! Made with almond milk, pumpkin pie spice, turmeric, and maple syrup, and is the perfect warm beverage for a cool fall day!

    Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk Recipe in Mug

    This recipe was originally published in 2018, but has since been updated.

    Aside from the rare and obscure options out there (like pumpkin spice Pringles. Really?!), I have no shame in my pumpkin spice game. Being a fall baby, I've had pumpkin spice running through my veins since birth. It was only a matter of time before I made my own version of another trendy food: Golden Milk. This version veers off the original inspiration from the turmeric milk from India, which I love for it's earthy spices and touch of sweetness that just feels right in fall.

    What makes this pumpkin spice golden milk delicious and healthy

    • vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
    • pumpkin puree
    • turmeric
    • pumpkin pie spice
    • cinnamon
    • black pepper
    • maple syrup
    • stevia (optional)

    How to Make This Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk Recipe:

    In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, add 1 cup of vanilla almond milk, or milk of choice. If you want a richer flavor, you can also use canned coconut milk, or light coconut milk. Add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of turmeric, ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of black pepper, and whisk to combine.

    Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup, and whisk to combine. Add a pinch of stevia if you want it a little sweeter, or more maple syrup to taste. Let simmer for about 2 minutes, or until heated through before transferring to a mug. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon to serve.

    Pro Tips:

    • Make it super fast by adding everything to a microwave-safe mug, mixing together, and microwaving on high for 1-2 minutes, or until hot.
    • Adding a pinch of black pepper helps your body absorb the good stuff in turmeric better.
    • Control the amount of sweetness by using pumpkin puree (instead of pumpkin pie mix), and sweetening yourself with maple syrup, and optional stevia.

    FAQs

    Can I make this in the microwave?

    Definitely! Mix all the ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until it's hot.

    Do I need to use stevia?

    You can use your preferred sweetener instead of the stevia or maple syrup. I love the fall flavor of maple, and prefer stevia for a sweetener, but it's up to you, boo what you use.

    What if I don't have pumpkin pie spice?

    You can make your own mix by combining 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, ½ tablespoon ground ginger, ½ tablespoon nutmeg, ½ tablespoon allspice, and ½ teaspoon of ground clove in a resealable container.

    Money Saving Tips for this Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk Recipe:

    Buy store brand. Opt for store brands when possible for a less expensive option that doesn't sacrifice flavor or quality.

    Use refrigerated. Refrigerated almond milk is often cheaper than the shelf stable version, and can contain less preservatives than the shelf-stable varieties.

      Hi--looking forward to trying your recipe. There's a little typo in the list of ingredients for the make-your-own pumpkin pie spice--I think it means to list "ground cloves" instead of "ground clover"! Thanks for the inspired recipes.

        Thanks Vanessa! Definitely best when enjoyed fresh, but warming up on the stove or in the microwave does work too!
