📝Ingredient Notes
- Oat milk: I use homemade oat milk or barista blend oat milk. The Barista blend will give a creamier result!
- Salt: It may sound like an odd ingredient to include, but salt is a flavor enhancer. You won't taste any salt in the creamer.
🥛Substitutions
- Oat milk: Other milk alternatives such as almond milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk work well too.
- Pure maple syrup: Brown sugar or even honey can be used as a sweetener. Honey has a more distinct flavor, though. So its flavor can shine through.
🎃How to Make Oat Milk Pumpkin Spice Creamer
- Add all ingredients except for the vanilla into a small saucepan and whisk until combined.
2. Heat the saucepan over the stove on medium heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the spices are dissolved. Whisk while it's heating to prevent clumping. Then mix in the vanilla.
3. Store the creamer in a glass jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled. Shake well before each use and enjoy in hot coffee, cold brew, and iced coffee.
🧊Storing
Store the creamer in an airtight jar or milk bottle for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use as the contents will separate.
✅Pro Tips
- Use barista blend oat milk: Barista blend has a higher fat content, making it extra creamy. It's great for coffee, espresso, lattes, baking, cooking, and more. If you want the creamiest dairy-free pumpkin spice creamer, use an oat milk that's labeled barista blend.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours before using: The creamer is best enjoyed once it's completely chilled. This gives it a creamier consistency and allows the flavors to develop.
- Add sweetener to taste: 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup will give a subtle sweetness. If you like your creamer to be really sweet, add as much as you'd like. You can also use brown sugar in place of maple syrup.
- Add pumpkin pie spice to taste: I personally don't enjoy strong pumpkin spice flavors. This creamer has a subtle pumpkin spice flavor, but you can add more if you'd like.
- Use good quality pumpkin puree: Canned is perfectly fine, and it's what I use. Not all brands are the same, however. Some cheap brands can have a "pulpy/stringy" puree that's not as smooth. My favorite is Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree strictly because of how smooth it is.
- Don't skimp on the salt: Salt enhances the rest of the flavors in the creamer without making it taste salty.
