I usually like to drink my coffee black, but there is something about the sweet spice of fall flavors that beckons to me every time. And because I can control how sweet this creamer is, it’s perfect for that little added something without it being overly sweet.

This dairy free Pumpkin Spice Creamer in your coffee is a super start to the day, the perfect pick-me-up in the afternoon, and a cozy cup of warmth in the evening (but, not all in the course of ONE day – well, ok – maybe, sometimes.)

Ingredient notes and substitutions

Milk ~ Any non-dairy unsweetened milk will work. My favorites are oat, soy, or cashew, but you could also use almond or light coconut milk. Full fat coconut milk has a strong coconut flavor which I don’t think works as well in this recipe.

Pumpkin ~ You can use canned or homemade pumpkin purée. If you’re using canned, be sure to use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

Spices ~ Using a pumpkin pie spice blend is easiest, but you can combine your own spices if you want. Typical pumpkin pie spice contains cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.

I like add additional cinnamon to this pumpkin spice creamer because it’s just so good!

Vanilla ~ Pure vanilla extract adds extra sweetness and a delightful flavor.

Sweetener ~ Pure maple syrup is the perfect complement to the pumpkin flavors. You could use granulated coconut sugar or cane sugar, as well.

Storage and freezing

Fridge: Store the creamer in an air-tight container, like a mason jar, in the fridge for 7 to 10 days.

Freezer: Because this pumpkin spice creamer is dairy-free, you can also freeze it. Pour the blended mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe plastic bag. They should keep well for up to 3 months.

You can use these frozen cubes, as is, in iced coffee or thaw them to use as intended.

Thaw: To use from frozen, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and whisk well or re-blend before adding to your coffee.
