This naturally sweetened 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 1.2 million 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!

How to Make It
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.
Then, add the pumpkin puree mixture to your dairy with remaining ingredients.
Place over medium-low heat and whisk occasionally. Heat through until hot and it just starts to simmer around the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Tip: Don’t take your eye of this because it can easily boil over.
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
More Recipe Tips
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.
You could dissolve brown sugar to taste in the dairy (if you like) instead of maple syrup.
Want things even thicker and richer? Opt for sweetened condensed milk instead of maple syrup or brown sugar.

Ingredients
- 2 cups coffee cream (18 % milk fat (or your favourite dairy or non dairy base))
- ⅓ cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree with pumpkin spice and mix to combine.
- Add cream to a small heavy-bottomed pot on medium heat. Whisk in pumpkin puree mixture, along with the other ingredients.
- Heat 8 to 10 minutes, whisking every so often. Heat and warm through until it starts to bubble around the edges.
- Allow to cool slightly. Pour into a storage jar, cover and store in the fridge. Shake before using. The creamer should last as long as the 'best-by' date of your non-dairy or dairy. Enjoy!

My sister loves PSL, and this would be right up her street (and to stop her going to Starbucks all the time). I’m sending it her way now!

I have all the ingredients to make this one, so I’ll be whipping up a batch this weekend to go with my coffee! Love that I can use almond milk too! Happy Halloween Dawn!

I am definitely trying this one Dawn!!! It looks amazing – I’m one of those people that loves pumpkin spice lattes so why not make that flavor jump into my morning coffee? So yummy!!
Haylie / Our Balanced Bowl
Dawn!! This looks SO amazing. Wow, this would make my beloved one cup of coffee a day a pure DREAM!!! (yes only one cup lol…I get the jitters if not!)…I love that added tip of adding condensed milk and maple syrup. That sounds pure dreamy!!! Awesome recipe, my friend! XO

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

LOVE that this is naturally sweetened! I never use cream in my coffee but I like it in my tea–I’ll have to try this! It’s giving me all kinds of cozy fall feelings 🙂

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
This is a genius idea, Dawn! Love that there is real pumpkin in it! I could see using this in my Earl Grey tea too!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
Yes! Love that idea! Thanks Marissa 🙂

Thanks Annie! Have a great week! XOXO
Kathy @ Beyond the Chicken Coop
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.
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
Lol! Hope they enjoy 🙂 ! Thanks Kathy!
Kelly | Foodtasia
Dawn, such a brilliant way to get a little pumpkin spice into all my favorite hot drinks!

Thank you Kelly!

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.
