Yes, it’s that time of year again for pumpkin everything. These homemade Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Lattes are just perfect for a fall get together, and couldn’t get any easier.
This year Starbucks has a pumpkin cream cold brew which you must try! Though for a cold fall day I love a warm latte. Want a non-coffee pumpkin drink? Try my Slow Cooker Pumpkin Hot Chocolate.
I start with freshly brewed coffee because I know most of us don’t have an espresso machine. I stir in half and half, canned pumpkin, spices, vanilla extract
These slow cooker pumpkin spice lattes would be fun for after trick-or-treating, or for a fall brunch. Note- I don’t like my coffee overly sweet, so add the sugar to your taste.
How to make pumpkin spice lattes in the slow cooker:
You will need:
- Freshly brewed strong coffee – I like Starbucks Pike Place
- Pumpkin puree
- Half and half (or heavy cream)
- Nutmeg
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
- Whipped cream for serving, canned or homemade
- Additional nutmeg for serving
Instructions:
- Add the coffee, pumpkin, half and half, spices, sugar and vanilla to 5-quart or larger slow cooker. Stir.
- Cover and cook on high for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Ladle into mugs, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Can I refrigerate and re-heat?
Yes! Place extra latte mixture in the fridge and reheat in microwave.

Is there a sugar substitute option?
How much espresso would you use if you were to make it with espresso?
Sorry, I can’t say without testing. You could add the milk and other ingredients then add a few shots at a time to test it.
Is there a substitute for heavy cream? I’m on a non dairy diet.
Maybe a non dairy half and half?
WHERE did you get the mugs? ☺️
Pottery barn! 🙂
I think the amounts of nutmeg and cinnamon need to flip flop…too much nutmeg and not enough cinnamon. The nutmeg is too strong.
Has anyone had problems with it turning into a nasty pumpkin froth after it’s sat in a mug for a bit?
The first time, I had no problem with this. The second and third times it did the nasty pumpkin froth.
What did I do wrong the last two times!?
If I wanted to double this, would I double every ingredient or just certain ones like the coffee?
I would double everything myself
Sounds really good, but please, please, PLEASE remove the ‘s’…there is NO ‘s’ in Pike Place!
(Sorry, pet peeve…like fingernails down a chalkboard!)
Thank you!!! I will fix that. Something I apparently never noticed. No offense is taken!
Please explain, again, how you would make this and store in the fridge. I read a post about it but it didn’t include the pumpkin. I suppose I could half the recipe, too!
