Vegan Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer

There’s something about the arrival of fall that makes us crave warmth, comfort, and of course—pumpkin spice. 🍁🎃🍂 From lattes to baked goods, this classic blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves is the essence of cozy season. But if you’ve ever looked closely at the ingredients list on store-bought pumpkin spice creamers, you know they often come loaded with dairy, refined sugars, and artificial flavors. That’s why I love making my own creamer at home. It’s simple, wholesome, and lets me enjoy all the flavors of autumn without the unnecessary extras.

This Vegan Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer is creamy, perfectly spiced, and naturally sweetened—no refined sugars here. Instead, we use pure maple syrup for a touch of sweetness that pairs beautifully with real pumpkin purée and warm spices. The base is a combination of oat milk and coconut milk, which creates a luscious texture that blends seamlessly into your coffee. The result is a smooth, dairy-free creamer that feels indulgent while still being nourishing. ✨ 🎃☕️

One of my favorite things about this recipe is its versatility. It’s wonderful in hot coffee, iced lattes, or even stirred into chai tea. You can adjust the sweetness and spice to your liking, making it truly customizable. And since it’s made with simple, clean ingredients, you can feel good about enjoying it every day throughout pumpkin season.

Homemade creamers like this also make mornings feel a little more special. A splash of this pumpkin spice goodness turns an ordinary cup of coffee into a café-worthy treat—without ever leaving your kitchen. Plus, it keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, so you can prepare a batch ahead of time and have it ready whenever the craving strikes.

Ready to cozy up with your new favorite fall ritual? Let’s make it.

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Ingredients (makes about 2 cups):

  • 1 cup unsweetened oat milk (or almond/cashew milk for a lighter texture)

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat for creaminess, or lite for lighter version)

  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin purée (canned organic pumpkin)

  • 2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

  • Pinch of sea salt

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the oat milk, coconut milk, and pumpkin purée until smooth.

  2. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla, and spices. Bring just to a gentle simmer, whisking often (do not boil).

  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice. Add more maple syrup if you like it sweeter.

  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a silky texture.

  5. Store in a glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 5–7 days. Shake well before each use.

Serving Suggestion:
Add 2–3 tablespoons to your morning coffee or blend it in for a frothy latte vibe. You can also use it over chai tea or even drizzle a little on oatmeal for a fall flavor boost.

✨ Tip: If you want a thicker barista-style creamer, use more coconut milk than oat milk (about 1.5 cups coconut milk + 1/2 cup oat milk).

Serving & Storage Notes

  • Serving: Start with 2–3 tablespoons of creamer per cup of coffee or tea, then adjust to taste. For a frothier drink, blend it with your coffee for 15–20 seconds until light and creamy. This creamer is also delicious stirred into chai tea, hot cocoa, or even drizzled over warm oatmeal.

  • Sweetness Adjustments: If you prefer a sweeter cup, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup when serving. For a sugar-free option, try blending in 2–3 softened Medjool dates with the milk base before heating.

  • Storage: Store your creamer in a sealed glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.

  • Shelf Life: Best enjoyed within 5–7 days for peak flavor and freshness.

  • Tip: For an extra seasonal treat, top your coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice blend after adding the creamer.

Making your own pumpkin spice coffee creamer at home is such a simple way to bring warmth and comfort into your mornings. With just a handful of wholesome ingredients—real pumpkin, creamy non-dairy milk, pure maple syrup, and cozy spices—you can skip the store-bought versions and enjoy something that feels both indulgent and nourishing. This recipe not only saves you from unnecessary additives and refined sugars, but it also gives you full control over the sweetness and spice levels, so every cup is exactly how you like it.

Keep a jar of this creamer in your fridge, and you’ll always have a little taste of fall ready to stir into coffee, tea, or even hot cocoa. It’s a small act of self-care that makes everyday moments more special. So pour, sip, and savor—this season, your morning ritual just got a whole lot cozier.
