Our Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe is the Perfect Guilt-Free Treat This Fall
Fall is in full swing, and so are all things pumpkin-spiced. Coffee and pumpkin go hand-in-hand, and the Pumpkin Spice Latte is a favorite among coffee lovers!
The kicker, though? Getting one from your local barista is likely packed with high fructose corn syrup, calories, caramel coloring, and artificial flavors.
This recipe is just as delicious as the coffee shop variety but without all the bad stuff! Check out the ingredients and steps, along with the full recipe for our Healthier Pumpkin Spice Latte.
