Instructions

Measure Ingredients: Accurately measure 1 1/2 cups of whole milk, 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and your choice of sweetener if using. Preparing all ingredients beforehand ensures the creamer will be well balanced in flavor and texture.
Blend the Mixture: Add all the measured ingredients to a blender. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no lumps, allowing the spices to fully incorporate into the liquid for a harmonious flavor profile.
Store Properly: Transfer the blended creamer into an airtight container. Refrigerate the container to keep the creamer fresh and to allow the flavors to meld together. Consume within about one week for optimal taste and quality.
Shake Before Use: Each time you use the creamer, shake the container vigorously to redistribute any spices that may settle at the bottom. This step ensures consistent flavor with every serving.

Notes

Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
Adjust sweetener quantity to your preference; pure maple syrup adds a natural sweetness and depth.
This creamer works well with coffee, tea, or even oats and smoothies.
Shake thoroughly before each use to prevent spices from settling.
Store in the refrigerator and consume within one week for best freshness.
