pumpkin spice
syrup
Yield: 12 servings
Serving Size: 1 Tbsp (15ml)
-
1/2 cup (114g) allulose / tagatose / (or erythritol, see note below)
-
1/4 cup (45g) Sukrin Gold / yacon syrup (both are used for a brown sugar flavor)
-
3/4 cup (180ml) water
-
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
-
1/2 tsp fine sea salt // 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
-
2 Tbsp (28g) pumpkin puree
-
(if you don't want to buy an entire can just to use such a small amount, try buying pumpkin puree as a baby food jar!)
-
-
3/4 tsp pumpkin spice mix
-
OR:
-
1 tsp powdered cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
-
1/4 tsp powdered cloves
-
1/4 tsp powdered nutmeg
-
1. Melt together the water and sweeteners over high heat until fully dissolved, then mix in the spice mix, salt, vanilla and pumpkin puree. Heat this syrup over low heat for 3-5 minutes to infuse the flavors, then let cool fully.
2. Once fully cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the thicker pumpkin solids and spice particles (this helps lower the carb count a bit too!). Store it in an air-tight glass container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
TO USE OTHER KETO SWEETENERS:
If you can't access or afford allulose or tagatose (the only two keto-friendly sweeteners I currently know of that will stay dissolved as a syrup), you can try this recipe out using erythritol in place of those sweeteners, BUT it will crystallize and turn grainy after 1-2 days in the fridge.
HOW TO MAKE A KETO PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE:
-Heat 3/4 cup of keto friendly milk, then pour over 1 or 2 shots of espresso coffee that has been mixed with 1 to 2 tablespoons of keto pumpkin spice syrup. Optionally, add some sugar-free whipped cream on top, plus a sprinkle of pumpkin spice mix.
