Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte

There are a few things that scream autumn to me –  slow cookers, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice everything. I took those and brewed them up together for this Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte.

 I Can Make Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Home?!

Just so you know, the pumpkin spice syrup at Starbucks contains dairy, so if you want a pumpkin-spiced anything, it’s better to make it at home. You can get the cold brewed coffee recipe here and the recipe to make your own pumpkin puree here.

How Do I Make Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte?

There are a few ways to make a Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte and one is to add the pumpkin spices, coffee, and nondairy milk to your slow cooker.

Be warned that it gets a little chunky in the slow cooker so you can either strain it before serving or give it a careful whirl in your blender.  Either way will elevate your pumpkin spice latte to coffeehouse level.

Is Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Syrup Vegan?

Last year they came out with a vegan version in Europe, but we were stuck with the dairy syrup here in the US.

But I Wanted Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup…

If you’re looking for a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Syrup, you have to try my Instant Pot Vegan Pumpkin Spice Syrup Recipe on my other blog, Plant Based Instant Pot.

But don’t fret, I have a slow cooker recipe too: Slow Cooker Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce.

I also have a Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Cashew Creamer, if that’s more your style.

Yuck! I Hate Pumpkin Spice Lattes

I know that everyone isn’t on the pumpkin spice latte train. But you can use the same method to make a maple latte instead.

Just use the same slow cooker instructions, but just add the coffee, nondairy milk, and maple syrup. There’s your maple latte recipe, easy peasy.

Can I Make This in a High Speed Blender Instead?

What I did this morning was to blend it all together before I added it to my 2- quart slow cooker. Then I got to thinking, if you have a high speed blender you could just keep blending until it gets hot. Just some pumpkin-spice for thought!

If you decide to use a high speed blender you could just add 1/4 cup pecans or cashews plus 2 cups water. Blend and you’ve made homemade nut milk for your Not Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte.

What Slow Cooker Do You Recommend? 

If you are shopping for a slow cooker be sure to read my slow cooker faq page, and take a close look at the Hamilton Beach Right Size Model, it has 1 crock but settings to use it as a 2, 4, and 6 quart slow cooker!

Where Can I Get That Owl Slow Cooker?

Also the owl slow cooker above is no longer made, but if you have to have an owl crockpot now, there are usually a few owl slow cookers on Ebay. Warning: It’s overpriced, but sometimes the kitchen wants what the kitchen wants.

Can I Sweeten Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte with Dates Instead of Maple Syrup?

You sure can, just add about 4 dates to the slow cooker and make sure to puree in a blender before serving. You may also want to strain after you blend it too.

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 cups brewed coffee or espresso (or use tea)
• 2 cups vanilla unsweetened nondairy milk (or plain mixed with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
• 2 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste) , or sweetener of choice plus 1/2 teaspoon maple extract if you want the maple flavor
• 3 tablespoons pumpkin purée, store-bought or homemade
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon allspice
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

• Place all the ingredients in your 1½ to 2 -quart slow cooker. Whisk to combine. Cook on high for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or on low for 3 hours.
• (Many small slow cookers have no temperature control, so they cook everything on low.) Stir well before serving because the pumpkin tends to settle at the bottom.
• If the texture of the pumpkin puree bothers you, put the mixture in a blender before putting in the slow cooker to create a smoother, silkier drink.

Notes

This recipe uses 1 1/2 to 2-quart (1.4 to 1.9 L) slow cooker. You can double or triple the recipe and use a larger slow cooker if you like.
