Yes you read that correctly, Pumpkin Spice BUTTERED Coffee.
Think about it for a moment, what happens when you churn cream too long? What do you get? Butter. Only I used ghee, which is butter with the milk proteins removed ('cause I'm allergic).
The end result is still a healthy creamy seasonal drink that is sure to rival your favorite coffee shop's version.
For a dose of reality, I took a peek at the nutritional information for both Starbucks' and Caribou's pumpkin spice latte. Holy SUGAR, Batman. In a 12 oz. drink there is 37 grams of the stuff. Sugar is far more than just empty calories, it can have harmful effects on metabolism and contributes to all sorts of diseases.
I'll be skipping the sugar rush and making my own foo foo healthy pumpkin drink this season. I hope you do too!

I made some pumpkin pie spice with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and ginger. Have plain Stevia, so will add a tad of vanilla extract to the recipe. I am looking forward to making this tomorrow morning. I’m sure the donut shop coffee will have nothing on this one. Thank you for this neat treat. It makes me happy and gives me something to look forward to for my morning coffee.
I love this twist on they usual coffee. It looks amazing.
Hello,
I don’t like many food blogs, but I do enjoy 2 of them. I really like yours and “Cooking With Mr. C.” on Facebook. Between the two of you, I get so many ideas.
Keep those recipes coming.

Awwww thanks Dale!
Just made the pumpkin walnut scones yesterday which were delicious. Can’t wait to have one with the pumpkin spice coffee.
OMG, this is delicious. Waaay better than the chemical sh%t storm that is Starbucks. Thanks!
OMG this looks amazing! I have some pumpkin puree in the freezer and guess what I’m going to try tomorrow! 😉
This will be perfect with your Pumpkin Walnut Drop Scones (I made three batches this weekend!) YUMMMMM….thanks 🙂
I’m on the 21DSD so I’m going to try this without the stevia. Fingers crossed!! 🙂

I had a steaming hot cup of pumpkin spice hot buttered coffee
this morning. Loved it. 🙂
I am drinking this for the first time and am loving it!!! Thank u so much! Please keep up the good work!
I used to drink buttered coffee, but got out of the habit, because I found a recipe for pumpkin spice coffee creamer. But I was missing my buttered coffee. This recipe fills both of those for me! I added 1 more tablespoon of pumpkin (cause I like pumpkin!) and didn’t even add any sweetener. It’s perfect for me!
So glad you liked it Karin.
Yes, this is good. Funny the comment about Starbucks. I like their coffee, but not the syrup infused options. This recipe provides the seasonal taste without all the negatives associated with commercial products. For my coffee this morning, I brewed a Starbucks Sumatra K-cup., added all of the ingredients (coffee, pastured organic butter, spices, pumpkin, raw honey) to a mason jar, shook it really well (wanted to bypass the blender), and took a sip. It was good as is, but for my taste, felt it needed “something” more. Where you used vanilla Stevia, I used honey, so by adding a splash of vanilla, that gave back what it was missing. For those that consume milk, or milk alternatives, it would also be quite nice creamy. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Perfect timing! Making 7 Spice Turkey soup today, I’ll save some pumpkin out for a cup of coffee!!
