ingredients in pumpkin spice syrup
SIMPLE, HEALTHY INGREDIENTS
I like to make a big ol’ batch of pumpkin spice syrup as I just LOVE it! However, if you’d like, please feel free to half or even quarter this recipe to your liking.
- PUMPKIN PUREE
- PUMPKIN SPICE MIX – see my recipe HERE
- MAPLE SYRUP
- PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
- HOT WATER
1. Pumpkin Puree
Make sure to use Pure Pumpkin Puree either from the can or that you’ve blended yourself (from a roasted pumpkin of course). Don’t use pumpkin pie filling as it already has spices added and it often contains wheat and additives!
2. Pumpkin Spice Mix
I’d highly recommend making your own Pumpkin Spice Mix with my quick & easy recipe! It has a special ingredient that I think takes this Pumpkin Spice to the next level!
If you prefer you can use a store bought pumpkin spice blend.
3. Maple Syrup
Pure maple syrup is a true Canadian delicacy!
Did you know that Pure Canadian Maple Syrup is naturally vegan as they do not use any animal by-products at all in production! How do I know this? My husbands Uncle has a Maple Tree Farm in which they collect the maple sap, and produce Maple Syrup in their amazing “Sugar Camp”! I have witnessed 1st hand the hard work and dedication that goes into boiling the maple sap, canning it and producing the most incredible delicious natural sweetener!
4. Pure Vanilla Extract
I like to use pure vanilla extract that is free from additives. Costco has a great brand.
5. Hot Water
I use hot water as it is lovely to blend all of the ingredients together. Since I usually use some syrup immediately in a pumpkin spice latte it’s already warm!
LET'S MAKE pumpkin spice syrup!
IN 1 SIMPLE STEP!
You’ll love how easy & delicious this pumpkin spice syrup becomes using my Pumpkin Spice Mix!
STEP 1: Using a blender or a hand held blender, blend together all ingredients. THAT’S IT! Your Pumpkin Spice Syrup is ready to use and enjoy! (If you don’t have a blender, no worries. Simply whisk the spices & hot water together first, then add the remaining ingredients & whisk well).
STEP 2: Add more hot water as desired until reaches desired consistency (do you want to be able to pour your syrup or have it a little thicker & mix it in?). Then store in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.
STEP 3: Add to your favourite dishes like Pumpkin Spice Latte!
STEP 4: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 1 year.
NOTE: You can heat the ingredients in a sauce pan, then strain & cool for a more “Starbucks style” pumpkin spice sauce. I like to keep the fibre because its healthy!

How to store pumpkin spice syrup
Since this Pumpkin Spice Syrup contains either fresh or canned pumpkin puree with no additives, it will perish like all fresh foods, but will stay fresh for a week.
You can also freeze any excess syrup (for up to a year) and thaw on the counter when the cravings hit!
I store my syrup in the refrigerator. It does thicken up in the cold, so you may want to store it in a jar rather than a bottle.

Equipment Needed
- 1 Blender optional
INGREDIENTS
- ⅔ cup Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ⅓ cup Pure Maple Syrup
- 3 tsp Pumpkin Spice Mix (see my recipe)
- ½ tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3 Tbsp Hot Water (+ up to 1/3 cup if you'd like a pourable version)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add all of the ingredients into your blender & blend well. (Or whisk together spices & hot water, then add all other ingredients if no blender. Blend well.)
- Add more hot water until desired level of consistency is achieved. I like to store mine in a wide lid jar and use a tablespoon to add it to my lattes. Want it pourable = add up to 1/3 cup water.
- Store in an airtight jar for up to 1 week.
- *See notes if a more syrup like texture is desired.
Notes
- You can heat the ingredients in a sauce pan, then strain & cool for a more "Starbucks style" pumpkin spice sauce. I like to keep the fibre because its healthy and the texture is quite smooth!
- This syrup will thicken up a bit when it is stored in the fridge. So, if you are storing it in a bottle, you may need to add a little more water so it is still pourable.
