This homemade pumpkin spice creamer is jam-packed with warming fall spices and contains easy ingredients you probably have on hand. It puts a little something special in every cup of joe!
Heading your way with another easy pumpkin spice recipe!
I just love the warming flavours of pumpkin spice and use it in all sorts of ways, from pumpkin hummus to pumpkin smoothies and now this pumpkin spice coffee creamer.
This DIY coffee creamer comes together in minutes and is so much better than any store-bought stuff that you can get.
I’ve already had about so many pumpkin spiced things so far this season, along with a couple of eggnog things (yes, you read that correctly).
What can I say? I just love those festive eats and drinks!
Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Creamer
- Coffee cream
- Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Pumpkin pie spice
How To Make It
Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:
In a bowl, mix the pumpkin pie spice with the pumpkin puree. It makes things easier and you’re not left with huge clumps of cinnamon.
Pour coffee cream into a saucepan, then add the pumpkin puree mixture, maple syrup and vanilla extract, whisking to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk occasionally. Heat through until hot and it just starts to simmer around the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Can I Use Non Dairy Milk or Creamer?
Of course!
If you want to make this a non-dairy coffee creamer, simply replace the coffee cream with your favourite almond, oat or soy milk. Fun tip: I really enjoy vanilla almond milk here.
How To Use Homemade Coffee Creamer
- Coffee (of course)
- Iced coffee
- Lattes
- Hot chocolate
- Makes for an extra special cocktail
Tips for Making and Enjoying
- You could dissolve brown sugar to taste in the dairy (if you like) instead of maple syrup.
- Want things even thicker and richer? Use sweetened condensed milk instead of maple syrup or brown sugar.
- Shake before using! When you grab that jar from the fridge, ensure you give it a little shake before using as the spices do settle.
- This pumpkin coffee creamer lasts roughly as long as the best before date on your dairy.

Mmm, I don’t drink coffee but this looks truly delightful. How do you think it would go in a hot chocolate? 🙂

Pumpkin spice coffee creamer with real pumpkin pure and maple syrup? Perfection! And since you have opened the season of eggnog, you should combine pumpkin and eggnog. Also, I hope you develop and share a festive eggnog coffee creamer 🙂
Marissa

My husband and my daughter totally need this! They drink a little coffee with their creamer – I’m not kidding. This version of creamer is so much better than the stuff you buy.

You know what’s funny? I don’t touch flavored coffee creamers…until this time of the year. Pumpkin, Eggnog, Gingerbread. Those are my kinda flavors, and they go so well with coffee! But I’ve had to try all sorts of different creamers to find ones that we like. I’ve never made my own, and now I want to try this version. Interesting that it’s got actual pumpkin puree in the creamer! Love the recipe, Dawn! Also, it’s never too early for ‘nog.
