Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) whole milk (or preferred non-dairy alternative)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon (1.3 g) ground cinnamon
- Sweetener to taste (optional; pure maple syrup recommended)
Instructions
- Measure Ingredients: Accurately measure 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sweetener of choice if using. Having all ingredients ready before blending ensures balanced flavors and a smooth texture.
- Blend Creamer: Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency with no lumps, ensuring that the spices are fully incorporated for a harmonious flavor.
- Store Properly: Transfer the blended creamer to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and allow the flavors to meld. Use within about one week for the best flavor and quality.
- Shake Before Use: Before each use, shake the container vigorously to redistribute spices that may settle at the bottom, maintaining consistent flavor in every serving.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, as the latter contains added sugars and spices.
- Non-dairy milk alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust sweetness to taste, starting with a small amount of pure maple syrup and increasing as desired.
- Shake well before each use since spices tend to settle at the bottom.
- Consume within 7 days and keep refrigerated to ensure freshness and safety.
