If you’re like me autumn equals all things pumpkin and for many of us that starts with our morning cup of joe. Warm sweaters, chunky scarves and pumpkin spice lattes are some of my favorite things about fall. Skip the coffee shop and whip up a batch of Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer for that cozy feeling all season long.

With so many flavored coffee creamers at the grocery store, why should you make your own? Making your own creamer is easy, made with natural ingredients (no hydrogenated vegetable oil or stabilizers in this recipe) and you can adjust the ingredients to your tastes (be sure to take try my Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer during the holidays!). Enjoy your coffee with Pumpkin Spice Granola or Individual Pumpkin Custards!

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer

Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Cook for 1 minute then remove the pan from heat. Allow to cool for at least five minutes before adding to coffee.

Transfer creamer to a container ( I love these bottles) and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Pam says
We don’t buy coffee creamers because of all the added ingredients. I never knew you could make your own! Game changer! This is going to be perfect this fall!
Krystal Allbritton says
Wow! Never buying pumpkin creamer again! So creamy, not too sweet like the grocery store version. Perfect! Thank you!
Brianna Simmons says
Yay, I’m so glad you liked it!
Kristina says
Great coffee creamer! I made it once and now my husband requests it every week!
Sue says
I made this and poured it into my coffee and it curdled. Also, it’s super hot so can you put it in the refrigerator that way or you have to let it cool?
Brianna Simmons says
You can put the creamer straight into the fridge to cool. I’ve found some brands of cream of a thicker texture.
