Step-by-step instructions
Before you start: Get out your non-dairy milk of choice, spices, pumpkin, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Step 1: Combine coconut milk, maple syrup, real pumpkin puree, and spices in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium heat.
Step 2: Add vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool before transferring it to an airtight bottle, mason jar, or container.
Tips
- Leftover homemade creamer? It can do so much more than flavor your morning coffee or drinks. Try using it in place of milk in quick icings and glazes. Also, try using it in waffle or pancake 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 them together.
- Store in a bottle that has easy pouring, and is leakproof for shaking!
Storage
Store this homemade creamer in a sterile airtight bottle or container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
To freeze, pour creamer into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen, transfer cubes to a freezer-safe ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer for up to three months.
FAQs
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.
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.
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.
Yes! Use this in your favorite fall-flavored baked goods, in oatmeal, or waffles and pancakes.
