This easy 3-ingredient pumpkin spice latte syrup is simple, honest, and tastes like everything you love about fall. No artificial flavors, no long ingredient lists, no standing in line at the coffee shop—just pure, homemade goodness that you can whip up in less than 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients in your saucepan. Add 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of pure maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice to your saucepan. Give it a quick stir with your whisk to start breaking up the puree.
  2. Whisk until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and start whisking. Keep whisking gently but continuously as the mixture warms up. The pumpkin puree will slowly break down and incorporate into the maple syrup. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. You’re looking for a smooth, uniform consistency with no visible lumps.
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer. Once the mixture is smooth, increase the heat to medium and bring it to a gentle simmer. You’ll see small bubbles forming around the edges of the pan. Don’t let it come to a full boil.
  4. Simmer for 5 minutes. Let the syrup simmer gently for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the syrup to thicken slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Take the saucepan off the burner and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. The syrup will thicken a bit more as it cools.
  6. Pour into your storage jar. Carefully pour the warm syrup into your clean mason jar or glass bottle. If you’re using a funnel, this step is a breeze. If not, pour slowly and watch out for drips.
  7. Cool completely before sealing. Leave the jar open on the counter until the syrup reaches room temperature. This usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Once it’s completely cool, screw on the lid and store it in the refrigerator.

Notes

Don’t crank up the heat—high heat will scorch the maple syrup. Whisk constantly at the beginning to prevent burning. Adjust the spice to your taste. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Strain for a restaurant-quality finish. Double the batch for easy meal prep. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
