Why we love this recipe
For those that love their Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, I’m offering you a way to save some money and make them at home instead. This would be ideal for a holiday party or get together. You could even take it with you if you have a cook and carry
Imagine coming home to a slow cooker full of yumminess after a day of skiing or sledding. A great way to warm up! Perfect for just sitting around and watching holiday movies too.
If you’re like me and love pumpkin spice lattes, but want a quick breakfast on the go, try this pumpkin spice latte smoothie instead!
If you’re an early riser, this would also be a tasty way for the family to wake up on Christmas morning (if you’re kids are old enough for coffee!).
Whisk everything together the night before, store it in the fridge then take the chill off in the microwave in the morning. Pour the contents into the slow cooker as soon as you get up and in a couple hours you’ll be sipping lattes!

Expert Tips
- You can use any cow’s milk, like skim, 1% and up, but I haven’t tested this recipe with other milk substitutes.
- If you don’t have access to freshly brewed espresso you can substitute with some strong brewed coffee instead.
- Canned pumpkin puree is needed, but if you have fresh pumpkin from your garden, even better!
- For flavoring, you’ll need pumpkin pie spice, granulated white sugar, and pure vanilla extract.
- If you want to garnish, and who doesn’t, you can use canned whipped cream or mix up your own fresh.
- I usually dust the top with some ground cinnamon to make it look pretty. You can also add cinnamon sticks!

Question can you just do 3 cups of milk if you don’t like coffee.
Amanda Formaro says
Hmm, I haven’t tried that. And it definitely wouldn’t be a latte. If you try it, please let me know how it goes!
