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! {Vegan, Gluten Free}

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.

Why This Recipe Works:

The pumpkin pie spice adds sweetness to the earthy flavor of turmeric.

Cinnamon and maple syrup add a touch more sweetness and fall flavor.

You can make on this latte on the stovetop or in the microwave.

How to Make This Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk Recipe:

In a small saucepan set over medium-low heat, add almond milk. 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), 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/4 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, 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger, 1/2 tablespoon nutmeg, 1/2 tablespoon allspice, and 1/2 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.
