As soon as Fall hits, the first thing we have to do is head to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. It’s a must on our Autumn schedule. But at $4.50 a cup, this can become an expensive treat! So I decided to make a pumpkin spice latte at home! No more need for Starbucks :) Best of all? Throw the ingredients in your crockpot and come home later to some delicious lattes.
Crockpot Pumpkin Spice Latte
Ingredients:
10 Tablespoons of pumpkin puree
5 Tablespoons of vanilla
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
4 Cups of strongly brewed coffee
6 cups of whole milk
7 Tablespoons sugar
Optional:
A cinnamon stick for each cup
Whipped cream for the top (but is this really optional??)
Directions:
1. Mix together all the ingredients in a large crockpot (minus the cinnamon sticks and whipped cream). Make sure ingredients mixed well.
2. Cook on high for 2 hours
3. Pour into mugs with a cinnamon stick in each mug and whipped cream on top. Repeat as needed :)
This is a great drink to make for a large party! We love pumpkin and can’t get enough of it. Enjoy!

8 Tablespoons of vanilla is 1/2 Cup. Is that right? Half a cup of vanilla extract? That would be super expensive!
You can of course cut back on the vanilla. We like it nice and sweet :) But you can scale down the vanilla. Also I get a huge bottle of pure vanilla extract from Costco for like $6 or $7…it lasts me forever!! :)
Wow, I’ll have to give that a try. However, think I’ll try that with a really small crockpot. Its just me and my hubby now, so a small batch will be fine. I would cut the sugar in 1/2 (I do that in every recipe) and no one notices, or could might try stevia.
Great idea Gretchen!! It definitely doesn’t NEED that much sugar :)
This looks so delicious! I love the tastes of pumpkin anything! I just found you from WLW and love your blog.
Thanks Heather!! Glad you stopped by :) Me too, Pumpkin anything is the best!!
I want to make this but I’ll be the only one drinking it as hubby doesn’t care for pumpkin like I care for pumpkin so after it’s ‘cooked’ can I store leftovers in the fridge and rewarm as needed?
Yes! I poured ours into an empty milk carton and we drank it over a week :) Works great to reheat!
Yay!!! Thank you.
Can I say how happy I am that you linked this up at Frugal Thursday Rewind? I have been complaining about the lack of coffee places between my house and the soccer field (yes, I know they’re only a mile apart in a residential area). Now I can make my pumpkin spice latte and bring it with me, even share it with the other moms. Woohoo!
Oh good, I’m so glad!! I love homemaking these types of drinks and especially love sharing them with my friends! :)
I’ve always wanted to try this in the crock pot, but I’m the only one in my house who drinks coffee, so I haven’t wanted to make a big batch. Since you say you keep it in the fridge, I think I’m going to try it!
Yeah it’s super easy to store in the fridge. Make a pot of it and drink it all week :)
I’m loving this fall series! I still have pumpkin to use up from last year, so I think we’re really going to load up on the pumpkin yummies this season.
Thanks Elsie!! I love fall recipes and pumpkin anything!! ;)
Yowza, does that sound good and rich!! I am going to hang onto that one for my ladies small group!
Haha yes very rich but oh so yummy :)
how many servings does this recipe provide?
Hm…you know…I’m not sure! I guess it would depend on how big the cups were. When I made it just my hubby and I were drinking it. So we would each drink a cup and out the leftovers in the fridge. I’m guessing it probably makes 6-8 servings!
I cannot wait to try this. I love pumpkin spice lattes too, but my wallet doesn’t like the price! Looks so yummy. And perfect for Christmas morning, in my humble opinion!
Yuum!! Pumpkin spice lattes are the BEST! :) Yes, perfect for Christmas morning!
This looks so yummy! The only problem is, here across the Atlantic we don’t have pumpkin puree! Is there any substitute that would work do you think?
Oh no! You don’t have any pumpkin?? Can you use fresh pumpkin??
