I LOVE Starbucks, but I am not fond of the amount of added sugar. I love to cook my favorite food and drinks at home because I can directly control the amount of each added ingredient. One serving of this recipe has 11 grams of sugar. A tall pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks has 30 grams of sugar. This recipe cuts the sugar by more than half.
The fall and winter months are usually the hardest times to remain focused on healthy lifestyle initiatives and goals. There’s football, the holidays, parties, and great food is everywhere! Small changes go a long way. Swapping out your Starbucks drink for something you prepare at home can go a long way.
Don’t have an Instant Pot? This recipe will also work well in a slow-cooker. Place on high for 2 hours.

Hi there. I have not tested using half of the serving allotment. I would suggest trying 3 minutes cook time. If you need additional cook time, add an additional 1 minute until you reach desired results.

Do we add fresh pumpkin? Canned? And ginger? Is that fresh or dried?

I used Libby's Pureed Pumpkin. I also used chopped ginger that I purchased in a jar in the produce section at my local grocer.

Looks amazing! Could this recipe be modified to be made on a stove top?

Yes. It would just take longer to simmer.

Great recipe! Thanks for sharing. I'm not necessarily a Starbuck fan, but it seems quite easy to try.
