I’m one of those people that are madly in love with fall. Many people love pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, but their syrup has dairy in it, so it’s not for me.

I’m giving you my newĀ Instant Pot Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe so you can make your own at home.

Instant Pot Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup

If you can’t have coconut milk try this non-creamy vegan pumpkin spice syrup recipe.

Did You Know That All Pumpkin Spice Syrups Aren’t Dairy-free?

Starbucks pumpkin spice latte syrup isn’t vegan, well, at least not in the United States. This year they are trying a vegan version out in the UK, so maybe it will eventually get to us, but I’m not holding my breath.

Pumpkin Spice Syrup isn’t all the same to begin with. It’s a bigger range than other syrups like vanilla or hazelnut. Some pumpkin spice syrups have actual pumpkin in it, and others just have the pumpkin pie spice blend with no pumpkin at all. Some have ginger, cloves, and/or varying levels of cinnamon, allspice, or cardamom. In this recipe you can adjust everything, so it’s just the way you like it!

Looking for a pumpkin-less vegan pumpkin spice creamer? Try this one from my other blog, Healthy Slow Cooking.

How Do I Make Vegan Pumpkin Spice Lattes with Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup?

Once you have the syrup made it’s super easy. Just mix 2 tablespoons of the sauce into an iced or hot coffee. I use homemade cold brew coffee as my base, but you can use normal brewed coffee too.

Of course, you can use more or less syrup to suit your taste. You can always use less sweetener in your syrup recipe if you don’t like your latte very sweet.

Another bonus is you can use the sweetener of your choice, to taste. If you are on an SOS (sugar, oil, and salt) free diet, try using date syrup as your sweetener. You can also use regular unsweetened nondairy milk in place of the coconut milk, but it won’t be quite as thick.

Don’t like coffee at all? Try it in hot tea or even in steamed nondairy milk.

What’s in Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup?

This is a healthier recipe than most of the overly sweet syrups you can buy. This version does have pumpkin in it in addition to coconut milk, my favorite spice blend, maple syrup, molasses, and your favorite nondairy milk.

It’s plant-based and gluten-free in addition to being vegan. Plus you can modify the sweeteners to fit in with you dietary needs too.

Recipe Variations

  • No pumpkin puree? Use butternut squash or sweet potato puree instead and start your own trend!
  • Try using date syrup in place of the maple syrup or try some coconut sugar instead.
  • Just leave out the brown sugar to make it refined sugar-free

Instant Pot Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe

Kathy Hester
Pumpkin spice lattes have become the harbinger of fall. Long before the leaves start to change colors, or I have to get out my sweaters. The bad thing is that Starbucks famous latte syrup has dairy in it. If you’re vegan, allergic to dairy, or just prefer to make things from scratch – this recipe is for you. Vary the spices to suit your tastes, use sweeteners of your choice in place of the ones called for. This fall you’ll be drinking your new favorite vegan pumpkin spice lattes with this syrup!

    Kathy can I make this right in instant pot or do I have to buy a liner?
    Thanks and I can’t wait to make this?

      Right in the Instant Pot. I often say liner so people remember to put the main part in!

    I know this probably sounds ridiculous, but as of right now we don’t have an instant pot (we’re getting one). Until then, what would the cooking instructions be for stove top (if possible?)

    You also asked in a reply if there were any other syrup requests. Do you think maybe there is a way to veganize white mocha? That used to be my go-to drink before going vegan.

      You can cook it on the stove in a large pot over medium heat until everything blends well, maybe 10 minutes. You might have to add a little more liquid.

      I will work on a IP white mocha version. I do have a stove-top version here: https://healthyslowcooking.com/vegan-hot-white-chocolate/

    Kathy, do I use sweetened or unsweetened coconut milk?
    Thanks!

      The main recipe uses canned coconut milk, so it’s not sweetened. You don’t want sweetened condensed coconut milk or coconut cream.

    Sounds fantastic — for us, though, gonna need to figure a substitute for the molasses though…. is it for sweetening or does it serve some other purpose?? Will welcome any ideas or suggestions!! Would dearly love to try this. Thanks!!

      It does provide a certain flavor, but you can leave it out and it will still taste great <3

    HI,
    This recipe looks interesting..
    I am wondering what the calories from fat are or the percentage of fat is for the 30 calories per serving is.

    Thank you

      You’d need to enter in the ingredients to the nutrition calculator that your Doctor recommends to get that level of detail.

    So indulging and screams fall, I love the pumpkin twist! Is there any way to make it without an Instant Pot? I didn’t see it in the notes or variations.

    I watched your video before making this pumpkin spice syrup. The list of ingredients includes “1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk” but I didn’t see you add that to the mixture. Do I understand from that the milk is added after the syrup comes out of the Instant Pot? Hope so because that is how I made it. Thanks for the recipe.

      You are totally right! I tweaked the recipe in the video as I’m likely to do šŸ˜‰

      You can add it before or after though, it will just make the syrup a little thinner than in the video.
