I have this deep love for Pumpkin spice latte's. Something about summer coming to a close and as I anticipate upcoming fall festivities, well it has me reaching for my favorite fall treat. But here's the deal this lovely drink at Starbucks has a ton of sugar in it. Like a whooping 49grams. Something this girl just cant handle. So when I found this recipe posted a couple weeks back on the Trim Healthy Mama group I knew I had to try my hand at it and spoil myself with one of these delightful drinks on a daily basis.
1c. pumpkin
2 c. water
1/2 c. sugar free caramel coffee syrup
2tsp. coconut oil
2tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1-2 tsp cinnamon
1/2c xylitol
pinch of salt
Cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and add 1tsp vanilla. Poor into glass jar and refrigerate.
To make Latte- Use 3-4 T. Pumpkin Sauce , 2-3T Cream and fill the rest of your coffee cup with coffee. Stir really well. Top with whip cream and cinnamon.
*A note on sweeteners- I have chosen to use xylito, but you could use stevia, truvia or whatever sweetener you prefer.
