Ingredients Needed for the Homemade Coffee Creamer
I always like to try to reduce my dairy intake wherever I can, and just swapping out your regular milk or cream for a plant-based milk in this non dairy creamer is a really easy way to do that. I find that cashew and coconut milks are usually the richest and have a natural sweetness to them even when you buy the unsweetened version, so I used a milk that was a combination of the two. 🙂
I have not tried this with soy milk yet, but any non-dairy milks you can find, sweetened or not, should be great substitutes if you can’t find the exact milk I used pictured below. Just adjust the amount of maple syrup if you use a milk that is already sweetened.
You’ll need:
- A non-dairy milk such as coconut milk, cashew milk, or even almond milk
- Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling. Here’s how to make your own: Crock Pot Pumpkin Puree)
- Pumpkin pie spice (you can mix up your own pumpkin spice as well!)
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- A blender
- A mug to enjoy your pumpkin flavored caffeine fix
How to Make the Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
This liquid coffee creamer makes more of a rich, traditional PSL type of a pumpkin coffee beverage, rather than a subtle, hint-o-pumpkin type of thing that you get with a store bought pumpkin-flavored creamer. It feels like you’re being really over-the-top indulgent, but the richness mostly comes from all the real pumpkin in this recipe, so it’s actually really good for you!
When you’re ready to enjoy your creation, whisk several teaspoons of the creamer into regular brewed coffee, or even a cup of spicy chai tea if you’re feeling adventurous. Top with non-dairy whipped-cream and a sprinkling of your pumpkin spice mix, or just a little bit of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, or nutmeg. A drizzle of plant-based caramel would also be an appropriate addition if you’re feeling fancy.
A perfect fall breakfast for me would be big mug of coffee with this creamer and a bowl of homemade maple pecan granola to go with it.
You can store this wonderful concoction in an airtight jar such as a mason jar and refrigerate for up to a week.
