Ahhhhhh Fall is in the air my friends. Can you feel it? What is not to love! Cozy sweaters, gorgeous leaves changing colors, trendy Fall boots, warm lattes with pumpkin spice (you know… PSL’s) and just about everything nice!
Even better news, is what if I told you that I have the most amazing pumpkin spice latte recipe for you today that is also is sugar free! Well, it’s true. Not only is this recipe absolutely delicious and easy to make but it is one of the healthiest ones you can find.
You’d never guess this is a low carb sugar-free pumpkin spice latte. Did you know most of the fancy lattes out there don’t even use real pumpkin? Since I am basically never impressed with all these mediocre lattes I knew I could make a homemade pumpkin spice latte that would taste even better than ones from the local coffee spots without all of the sugar.
So, here we are with this low carb pumpkin spice latte that has all of the traditional flavors of a fall drink minus the sugar! The secret is using Organic Monk Fruit Pumpkin Spice Liquid Sweetener from NOW® (which is also on SALE right now!). Why I love this even more is that you don’t have to buy 3-4 other spices to create that pumpkin pie spice flavor. Instead you just drop it into your favorite recipes, coffee drinks & teas, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. I love it for this recipe but also have been adding it to my weekend pancakes (check out my last recipe on Instagram to see my easy to make Pumpkin Pancakes) and my favorite afternoon tea!

Some Tips:
Make a double or triple batch, the mixture will last for 2-3 days in the fridge. I also give the option of adding MCT oil for those who would like to sip on this all morning long and have it fill you up and help curve hunger.
