The Best Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup

We look forward to pumpkin season ALL. YEAR. LONG. and bust out recipes like our easy pumpkin bread, baked pumpkin donuts, and protein pumpkin cookie dough as soon as we can. 

We don’t just stop there, though! We add pumpkin flavor to everything we can throughout the fall, and the easiest way to do so is with our homemade pumpkin spice syrup! 

Infused with warm seasonings and real pumpkin, it’s sweet, spiced, and so tasty you’ll want to drink it on its own. Plus, it’s made with way less sugar than any store-bought option and made with real pumpkin, sneaking in a few extra nutrients, too. 

Keep a batch on hand, and make extra to give away as gifts. It’s the perfect addition to your pumpkin season lineup! 

Ingredients You’ll Need 

Below is an overview of how to make this pumpkin spice coffee syrup. Please be sure to scroll to the bottom for the complete details! 

• Water – This combines all the ingredients, creating a liquid consistency and diluting the flavors slightly. 
• Packed Light Brown Sugar – This sweetens the syrup and adds a subtle molasses taste. If you want to keep this recipe completely sugar-free, feel free to use a brown sugar substitute instead. 
• Monk Fruit Sweetener – This reduces the sugar content without sacrificing any of the sweet taste you look for in a coffee syrup! 
• Pumpkin Puree – Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling! The only ingredient should be pumpkin. 
• Pumpkin Pie Spice – We use our homemade pumpkin pie spice, but store-bought blends work well, too. 
• Pure Vanilla Extract – Adds delicious vanilla flavor throughout the syrup. 
• Salt – Just a pinch helps enhance the rest of the ingredients. Your syrup won’t taste salty! 

Kitchen Tools

• Soup Pot
• Whisk
• Mason Jar

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Syrup for Coffee

1. Combine. Whisk the water, brown sugar, monk fruit sweetener, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice in a small soup pot or a small saucepan until smooth. 

2. Simmer. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. 
3. Add the remaining ingredients. Remove the pot from the heat, and whisk in the vanilla and salt. Set the syrup aside to cool completely. 

Note: If simmered for too long the syrup will become hardened and very crystallized during storage. If this happens, there is nothing wrong with the syrup. You just won’t be able to pour it into your drink, rather you will have to scoop it out with a spoon! 

Ways to Use

Of course, the most obvious way to use this pumpkin spice syrup recipe is in your homemade coffee, cold brew, and pumpkin spice lattes. However, it’s also great with options like: 

• Tea
• Hot Chocolate
• Cocktails and Mocktails
• Ice Cream 
• Oatmeal
• Pancakes and Waffles

How to Store 

Once cool, you can transfer leftover syrup to a pint-sized mason jar or an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks! Just be sure to give it a good shake or stir before using to redistribute the ingredients.

Notes

Cooking Tips – There is no need to boil the syrup beyond coming up to a simmer. Using monk fruit sweetener reduces the sugar in this recipe, however, if simmered for too long the syrup will become hardened and very crystallized during storage. If this happens, there is nothing wrong with the syrup, you will just not be able to pour it into your drink, rather you will have to scoop it out with a spoon.
