My mom brought home a Starbucks pumpkin spice creamer from the grocery store and I’m not going to lie… it was so good. But, I wasn’t too impressed with the not-so-great additives and a few other unneeded ingredients. SO, I was determined to make one that tastes just as good, if not BETTER!
This one is pretty sweet because I wanted it to taste exactly like the store bought version… but you can always add less/more sweetener to your preference. I personally don’t mind the added sugar because 1) I have a major sweet tooth and 2) it’s coming from a natural source. But, I am mostly just happy that it came together with 100% clean ingredients, is super simple to make, and tastes delish!
This recipe calls for almond butter, which I know sounds a bit odd, but the almond butter I used has only one ingredient: almonds. So, using this almond butter is the same as making homemade almond milk with whole almonds EXCEPT there is no soaking, hard-core blending, or straining. Using almond butter is cheaper and just makes the job much easier 🙂
You can use this creamer in your coffee as is but I like to make mine into a latte by blending a splash of the creamer, a cup of hot coffee, and a scoop of collagen (optional), and then topping with extra pumpkin spice.
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp almond butter (or cashew or sunflower for nut-free)
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (could also use coconut sugar, stevia, honey, etc.)
- tiny dash sea salt
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients until fully combined.
- Store in a jar in the fridge. Mine has kept up to five days but it's always gone by the fifth day so it may last a little longer 😂 probably no more than seven!
I LOVE this recipe! Soo much easier using almond butter instead of soaking nuts for hours and whipping out a food processor! Love the pumpkin flavor. Please test out more creamer flavors I’m obsessed!!
If using stevia to replace the syrup, how much should be used?
it depends on which kind you are using… I recommend starting with a small amount and then just adding more to taste! 🙂
Recommendations for brands for nut butters?
Recently I have been using JOI almond base! I also love Artisana cashew butter (both are so creamy!) but any nut butter should work 🙂
This recipe was so good! I made it in no time at all, I was surprised how it came together in five minutes. I appreciate that it had ingredients already in my pantry, while offering easy substitutes. Thank you for a wholesome, tasty treat that my teen daughter can enjoy as well. 🙂
Yay! I am so happy you and your daughter enjoyed it! It is a favorite of my mom and I’s too 😊 thank you so much for the comment!
Better than anything you can buy!! I seriously love this recipe so much I can drink the creamer on its own! Haha so easy too, I make it every week lately!!
You are THE BEST! Made my entire week 💗 xoxo
Can I replace almond with peanut butter?
Yes 🙂 it will probably have a slight peanut-buttery flavor though… which I think would be delicious!
Hi! Can I used almond milk if I have some on hand instead of almond butter and water? Can’t wait to try this!
Yes definitely!! xx
