Pumpkin spice syrup made with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice. Add this delicious syrup to a Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa, drizzle on pancakes, or Pumpkin Overnight Oats.
I love all things pumpkin! Pumpkin pie and pumpkin rolls have always been my favorite fall desserts. When coffee shops started incorporating pumpkin-flavored drinks, I was fully on board. In recent years I’ve started making my own pumpkin syrup at home to enjoy pumpkin lattes all season long.
Pumpkin Syrup Recipe
This easy homemade pumpkin simple syrup is made with real pumpkin, brown sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. The dark brown sugar gives a rich molasses-like sweetness to the syrup. Fresh pumpkin puree works wonderfully in this recipe.
Pumpkin pie spice is added to give a rich spice blend to enhance the pumpkin flavor. If you don’t have pumpkin spice on hand you can create your own blend with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
I like to drizzle the syrup on my coffee or steamed milk to make a pumpkin latte. Another way we use pumpkin syrup is over pancakes and waffles on chilly Saturday mornings. It’s the best way to enjoy an autumn day.
