I used to be in a recipe club where you were assigned a random blog to read or stalk in my case each month. My blog assignment this month was Farmgirl Gourmet.

A true farm girl at heart, Heather shares fun and easy recipe from her kitchen. She also is a big fan of buying local and grows many things in her own garden.

Those are two things that I would like to do more of here. She was a true inspiration to me as I read through many of her great recipes.

I always have the hardest time narrowing down my SRC choice, and again this month I had a list to choose from.

A few of my favorites that I wanted to try were Mexican Lasagna, Cinnamon Yogurt Scones, and Pumpkin Challah Pudding. All of those sound so good!

But then I saw her most viewed recipe from her blog was the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Just the other day, I opened my first can of pumpkin to make these pumpkin Oreo donuts, and I had the leftover pumpkin in my fridge just waiting for the right recipe.

Since I am now on a true pumpkin kick, and I love to have a good cup of coffee by my side in the morning when I do some reading, I knew this would be the recipe for my reveal.

What kind of milk do you use in a homemade latte?

You can use any kind of milk in this latte, so feel free to use whole, 2%, almond, or fat free. Basically whatever in your fridge at the moment is fine!

We drink fat free, so this is even a slightly skinny drink. Well, it was until I substituted caramel ice cream topping for the sugar! Wink, wink!

At least I tried to get rid of some calories for you, right? That has to count somehow!

It was so easy to throw everything into a pan and warm it up slowly on the stove.

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte - this easy coffee drink tastes like it came from a coffee shop. Easy recipe to make and enjoy at home!

How to froth milk for a latte:

To froth the warm milk mixture, you can use an aerolatte or your blender.  The blender mades frothing so easy. Even fat free milk can get a good froth going on that way.

You can also pour the mixture into a mason jar, tighten the lid, and shake until frothy.

Pour your coffee into two mugs and divide the frothed milk between the two.

How to make a Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte:

One other thing I slightly changed was how much coffee I added. I wanted a slightly stronger coffee taste, so I double the amount.

Cool Whip, extra caramel drizzles on top, and sea salt make this easy homemade latte look like a coffee shop drink.

A Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte, quietness, good books to study, and a few Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Donuts are the best way to enjoy this easy coffee drink. Now if only the weather would cooperate and get cool!

  6. I’ve never tried anything like this before so would be curious as to it’s taste. Would you happen to know if there is a substitute for cool whip? I’m not sure I can get that here in the UK. PS I also have my eye on your pumpkin oreo cheesecake which looks amazing!

  10. So glad you enjoyed this coffee. It’s currently in the high 80’s in the PacNW or I’d be busting open a can of pumpkin to make this! 🙂 Thanks for all of your sweet words and happy SRC day! 🙂

    • I have only ever made it one drink at a time. My thoughts are that I think it could be made a few days in advance. You need to heat it up every time though to put in the blender to get the froth on top.
