Ingredients for Your Iced Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte
- 2 cups vegan milk (We used oat milk)
- 4 tbsp cold brew coffee (or espresso shots)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- Nondairy whipped cream, optional (We used coconut milk whipped cream)
- Pumpkin pie spice, optional
- Sweetener of your preference (We used 2 teaspoons of white sugar)
How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte Vegan
Step 1 – Blend the milk, coffee, sugar, and pumpkin puree.
In a blender, add your milk, coffee (cold brew or espresso shots), sugar, and pumpkin puree. Blend the ingredients together for a few seconds until they’re all mixed. If you’d like to make this a frappe, add a few handfuls of ice and blend a little longer.
Step 2 – Pour into glasses.
Grab two large glasses (we like using Mason jars or Ball jars for smoothies and other drinks). Fill them about 3/4 full with ice. Divide the blended latte between the two jars.
Step 3 – Add toppings.
Top your pumpkin lattes with vegan whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice powder. Serve immediately.

Homemade Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte FAQs
Are Pumpkin Spice Lattes Vegan?
Typically, pumpkin spice lattes bought at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and other places are not vegan if they’re made using the regular recipe. However, you can request that the barista use dairy-free products. For example, request oat milk or almond milk instead of regular milk. However, you’ll need to skip the whipped cream as only two locations carry vegan whipped cream made from lentils as of 2021.
However, this recipe for iced vegan pumpkin spice lattes is totally vegan!
Do Pumpkin Spice Lattes Have Dairy?
Yes, pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks and most chain coffee shops contain dairy milk. There’s also dairy in the whipped cream. You’ll need to request a change in the type of milk and skip the whipped cream in most cases to keep your drink vegan.
Our homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe does not have dairy.

Make one yourself! This recipe is super simple and uses fairly common ingredients, so you can whip one up yourself in less time than it would take to drive to Starbucks.
