Posted Oct 19, 2017, Updated Jun 26, 2024 I love my cup of coffee in the morning. I look forward to that glorious moment in the quiet before my kids wake up when I am embraced by a warm, caffeinated liquid hug. However I am not a black coffee drinker. I prefer my morning java to be more towards the “dark brown” end of the spectrum with a touch of sweetness, which means that creamer is a must for me! This homemade pumpkin coffee creamer is delicious way to add cozy fall spices to your morning coffee. Real pumpkin, warm spices and rich vanilla beans all come together to make your morning coffee extra special! Store bought creamers can be OK in a pinch, but homemade is always a better choice! You know exactly what’s in it (and more importantly what isn’t). This Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and has no refined sugar but is still irresistibly creamy and delicious!

Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer: Substitutions
There are only 8 ingredients in this recipe, but here are a few potential substitutions.
Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar works in this recipe, you can also use maple syrup. Coconut milk. You can substitute regular whole milk or half and half for both the coconut milk and almond milk. Almond milk. Any non-dairy milk works well. The almond milk’s lower fat content makes the creamer a little less thick and a little more pourable Pumpkin Pie Spice. Use store bought or make this homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe! Vanilla bean. Vanilla bean paste is the best substitute for an actual vanilla bean! You can also substitute vanilla extract.
