It’s officially pumpkin spice season, and I am so excited! There’s just something about cozy sweaters, a hot cup of coffee, and that sweet pumpkin flavor that makes this time of year feel magical! You don’t need to run to your favorite coffee shop every day (and spend $$$) to enjoy a pumpkin spice latte. You can make your own sugar free pumpkin spice syrup at home with simple ingredients and it’s so much healthier and cheaper than the Starbucks pumpkin spice syrup that’s loaded with added sugars.

My healthy pumpkin spice syrup is naturally sweetened with Truvia Sweet Complete Stevia Leaf Brown with a hint of Molasses instead of brown sugar or coconut sugar, so you get that same rich flavor without the grams of sugar. It’s the perfect addition to your homemade lattes, cold brew, or even drizzled over ice cream for a fall treat! Best part? It takes less time than running to Starbucks!

See recipe card below for quantities.
Instructions

- Step 1: Combine ingredients In a small saucepan, add Truvia, water, pumpkin spice, pumpkin puree, and vanilla paste. Whisk everything together until smooth.

- Step 2: Heat
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, whisking occasionally, until everything is fully melted and combined.

- Step 3: Cool. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to sit for 10–15 minutes so the flavors can meld and the mixture can cool slightly.

- Step 4: Strain or store. For a smooth pumpkin spice syrup, strain through a fine mesh strainer into a mason jar or syrup dispenser. For a thicker pumpkin spice sauce, skip straining and pour directly into a sauce container. Store in the fridge and shake before using!

- Extra thick: Whisk in a tiny pinch of xanthan gum over low heat if you want a thicker sauce-like consistency.
