Tips

Leftover homemade pumpkin spice creamer? It can do so much more than flavor your morning coffee. Try using it in place of milk in quick icings and glazes. Also, try using it in waffle batter and to make oatmeal.
Heating in a saucepan is crucial to making a homogeneous mixture. The pumpkin and coconut milk are both thick and need to be gently heated in order to whisk together.
Store in a bottle that has easy pouring, and is leakproof for shaking!

FAQs

Is this creamer vegan?

Yes! Coconut milk is the perfect option for making non dairy coffee creamer. You can also use almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, soy milk... the options are endless! Just keep in mind that each milk has its own flavor and thickness. And because we are adding maple syrup, look for unsweetened milk options.

How do I store homemade creamer?

Look for a convenient bottle or jar that has leakproof lids since you'll want to shake things up before each pour. A spout or smaller mouth will help you pour without spilling.

Are spice blends safe for a gluten-free diet?

Individual spices are generally gluten-free, but depending on how and where they are processed additional gluten agents may be added. This could be from added wheat starch or wheat flour. Or, from cross-contamination in the facility the spice was processed and packaged. Check labels before purchasing.
