Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 3/4 cups water
1 cup golden monk fruit or allulose (substitute brown or coconut sugar if desired)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2–3 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional)

Instructions

Combine and Dissolve the Main Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, golden monk fruit or allulose, canned pumpkin puree, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the sweetener dissolves completely and the mixture becomes smooth. Scrape the sides and bottom of the pan frequently to prevent sticking and achieve a nice smooth texture.
Incorporate Additional Spices: Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice blend to the mixture, then stir thoroughly until fully incorporated and lump-free, enhancing the depth of the pumpkin spice flavor.
Thicken with Xanthan Gum (Optional): If desired, sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum evenly over the surface while rapidly whisking to avoid clumps. This step thickens the syrup to a lovely, pourable consistency for easier use.
Simmer to Develop Flavors: Reduce heat to low and let the syrup simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This process thickens the syrup slightly and intensifies its rich pumpkin spice flavor.
Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until fully blended. Adding vanilla at this stage preserves its bright, fresh fragrance, enhancing the syrup’s overall aroma and taste.
Cool and Store the Pumpkin Spice Syrup: Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature in the saucepan. Transfer it to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks. Shake well before each use as some separation may occur.

Notes

You can substitute golden monk fruit or allulose with brown or coconut sugar if a non-sugar-free version is preferred.
Xanthan gum is optional but recommended for achieving a thicker, more pourable syrup consistency.
Ensure continuous stirring during heating to prevent the mixture from burning or forming lumps.
Store syrup in the refrigerator and use within two weeks for best flavor and freshness.
Shake well before use as natural ingredients may separate over time.
