Pumpkin Spice Creamer (Dairy-Free, Naturally Sweetened)
When cooler mornings hit, there’s nothing like a warm cup of coffee — especially when it tastes like pumpkin pie. Most store-bought pumpkin spice creamers are loaded with refined sugar, gums, and artificial flavorings, which can leave you feeling foggy or jittery.
This homemade version is creamy, subtly sweet, and made with ingredients that actually nourish your brain and body. Cashews provide healthy fats and magnesium for calm focus, pumpkin adds fiber and vitamin A, and cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar — so you can enjoy that cozy fall flavor without the crash.
It’s simple, wholesome, and completely customizable — add more or less sweetness depending on your taste, and keep it vegan or dairy-free with ease.
Nutrition Notes
Cashews → Healthy fats + magnesium for calm focus and energy stability
Pumpkin → Rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A) and fiber to support gut and brain health
Cinnamon → Helps balance blood sugar, which supports steady mood and attention
Coconut milk → Adds creaminess and healthy fats for lasting satiety
Together, they create a balanced blend that supports focus, energy, and that “ahh” moment with every sip.
Pumpkin Spice Creamer Recipe
Ingredients
½ cup raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours (or 15 minutes in boiling water) and rinsed
1 cup coconut milk
2 cups water
⅓ cup pure pumpkin purée
1–3 tbsp maple syrup, to taste
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tsp pumpkin spice (or 1½ tsp cinnamon + ¼ tsp nutmeg + ¼ tsp clove)
¼ tsp sea salt
Directions
Soak cashews for 4 hours (or use the quick boil method: cover with hot water for 15 minutes). Drain and rinse.
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender: cashews, coconut milk, water, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and salt.
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy — about 45–60 seconds.
Taste and adjust: add more maple syrup for sweetness or a pinch more cinnamon for warmth.
Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake before using.
Serving Ideas
Add to your morning coffee or chai for a cozy pumpkin spice latte vibe.
Froth it for a creamy, café-style finish.
Pour over black tea for a warming afternoon pick-me-up.
Stir into oatmeal or overnight oats for extra fall flavor.
Storage Tips
Keep your pumpkin spice creamer in a sealed glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before each use — separation is natural. You can also freeze it into ice cubes for smoothies or future lattes.
This pumpkin spice creamer is simple, cozy, and way more satisfying than anything store-bought. It takes just a few minutes to make, lasts all week, and adds that perfect touch of fall warmth to your morning coffee.
Once you make it from scratch, it’s hard to go back — creamy, lightly sweet, and just the right amount of spice.
