What You’ll Need (Yields ~1 ½ cups)
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Unsweetened oat milk | 1 cup (or almond/cashew milk) |
| Pumpkin puree (100%) | 3 tablespoons |
| Pure maple syrup | 1 tablespoon (or monk fruit) |
| Pumpkin pie spice | 1 teaspoon (blend or individual) |
| Vanilla extract | ½ teaspoon |
| Pinch of salt | Highlights spice |
Optional boost: Add 1 tbsp of chia seeds or a spoonful of collagen for extra nutrition and thickness.
Step‑By‑Step: Homemade Healthy Pumpkin Spice Creamer
Step 1: Whisk the Base
In a saucepan, whisk oat milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
Step 2: Gently Heat and Infuse
Warm the mixture over low to medium heat until just steaming—not boiling—about 3–4 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 3: Add Vanilla & Salt
Remove from heat, then stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor balance.
Step 4: Optional Thicken
Sprinkle in chia seeds and whisk well for a thicker, pudding-like texture. Or skip for a pourable creamer.
Step 5: Cool & Store
Transfer to a mason jar. Seal and refrigerate—it thickens as it chills. Use within 5–7 days. Shake before each use due to natural settling.
Clever Ways to Enjoy It
Coffee & Lattes
Add 1–2 tbsp to hot or iced coffee. Stir and even top with safer-than-store sprinkles of extra spice.
Matcha & Teas
Blend into matcha or chai for creamy, seasonal tea latte goodness.
Breakfast Enhancement
Drizzle over oatmeal, overnight oats, or warm granola. Add into smoothie bowls for fall flavor and added nutrition.
Baking Adaptation
Use in place of milk in muffin, pancake, or bread recipes for a hint of cozy pumpkin.
Gift Potential
Package in little mason jars, add a ribbon, and gift as a healthy fall treat to friends, teachers, or neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I make it sugar-free?
Yes! Substitute maple syrup with monk fruit or erythritol to maintain sweetness with zero added sugar.
Is this dairy-free?
Absolutely—use non-dairy milk like oat, almond, cashew, or coconut depending on desired creaminess.
Will it separate?
Yes, especially if chia or pumpkin settle. Just shake or whisk before use.
How long will it keep?
Stored in the fridge, it stays fresh for about a week. Thicker bases last longer; discard if off-smelling.
Can I make a richer version?
Yes—switch to oat cream or cashew cream, or add a spoonful of coconut cream for decadence.
Is it healthier than store versions?
Definitely—real pumpkin adds antioxidants and nutrients; natural sweetening keeps it light.

Pumpkin is nutrient-dense—packed with vitamins A, C, fiber, potassium, and beta-carotene for eye health and immunity. Cinnamon and spices add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits for gut and heart health when used in moderation. Fall flavor, packed with feel-good benefits!
