Looking for a cozy fall drink that feels indulgent but is still healthy? My chocolate pumpkin spiced latte is made with real pumpkin puree, homemade pumpkin syrup, and raw cacao for the perfect pumpkin coffee drink that’s naturally refined sugar-free.

Chocolate Pumpkin Spiced Latte

As a nutrition consultant and chef, I’ve always believed that seasonal recipes can be both nourishing, healthy and comforting. Since I moved to the US, all I think about during the fall season is pumpkin recipes, cozy drinks, and all things pumpkin. This is the time of year when pumpkin spice takes over our kitchens, coffee shops, and even our candles. But the truth is, most pumpkin lattes out there are loaded with artificial syrups and refined sugars. If you love the cozy side of autumn lattes, you might also enjoy exploring this Homemade pumpkin-spiced latte guide or try a Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Syrup to add a special twist.

I wanted to create a healthier version, one that uses real pumpkin puree, a healthy pumpkin syrup, and the richness of raw cacao powder. Adding chocolate to a pumpkin spice latte recipe makes it even more luxurious and perfect for brisk mornings, cozy afternoons, or a Thanksgiving brunch. This is my go-to fall drink, and honestly, once you make it at home, you’ll never want to go back to the store-bought version.
