Introduction

This homemade pumpkin spice syrup brings the cozy flavors of fall into your kitchen in just minutes. Perfect for drizzling over pancakes, stirring into coffee, or adding a seasonal twist to your favorite drinks, it’s a simple way to celebrate pumpkin spice any time of year.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup

2 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ginger powder, 1/4 tsp clove, 1/8 tsp allspice)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the water, pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan. Whisk everything together until well blended.
Step 2: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often. The syrup should remain pourable but be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to incorporate.

Step 4: Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to a jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 5: Enjoy the syrup over pancakes or in coffee, adjusting the amount to suit your taste.

Tips & Variations

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.

Adjust the pumpkin pie spice blend to your preference or use a pre-made mix for convenience.
If you prefer a thicker syrup, simmer it a few minutes longer, but watch closely to prevent burning.
Try substituting coconut sugar with brown sugar or white sugar if preferred.

Storage

Store the pumpkin spice syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks. Before using, give it a good stir as it may slightly thicken or separate when chilled. Warm gently if desired to return to a pourable consistency.

FAQs

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?

Fresh pumpkin can be used, but it needs to be cooked and pureed until smooth before adding to the syrup. Canned pumpkin puree is convenient and ensures a consistent texture.

Is this syrup suitable for vegans?

Yes, this syrup is vegan-friendly since it uses plant-based sweeteners and no animal products.
