Delightful Pumpkin Maple Coffee Creamer Recipe with Puree Spices and Fairlife Milk

Pumpkin spice season is a favorite time for many coffee lovers. Instead of buying pre-made creamers loaded with additives, you can create a fresh, flavorful pumpkin maple coffee creamer at home. This recipe uses real pumpkin puree, warming spices, Fairlife milk, and pure maple syrup to bring a rich, creamy, and naturally sweet taste to your morning cup. It’s a simple way to elevate your coffee experience with wholesome ingredients.

Why Make Your Own Pumpkin Maple Coffee Creamer?

Store-bought creamers often contain preservatives, artificial flavors, and added sugars. Making your own allows you to control the ingredients and customize the flavor to your liking. Using pumpkin puree adds natural creaminess and a subtle earthiness that pairs perfectly with coffee. The blend of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves brings warmth and depth.

Fairlife milk is an excellent choice for this recipe because it’s ultra-filtered, providing more protein and calcium with less sugar than regular milk. It also has a smooth texture that blends well in coffee. Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor without overpowering the pumpkin and spices.

Ingredients You Will Need

1 cup Fairlife milk (any fat content works, but whole milk adds protein)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned, unsweetened)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt

These ingredients come together quickly and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. The recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of creamer, enough for several cups of coffee.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Combine the pumpkin and spices

In a small saucepan, whisk together the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. This helps release the spices’ aroma and warms the pumpkin.

Add milk and maple syrup

Slowly whisk in the Fairlife milk and maple syrup until smooth. Heat the mixture just until warm, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid boiling to preserve the milk’s texture.

Add vanilla extract

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract if using. This adds a subtle sweetness and rounds out the flavors.

Cool and store

Let the creamer cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean jar or bottle. Refrigerate and shake well before each use.

Tips for the Best Pumpkin Maple Coffee Creamer

Use unsweetened pumpkin puree to control the sweetness level.
Adjust the spices to your taste. Add more cinnamon for warmth or extra nutmeg for a nutty note.
If you prefer a thinner creamer, add a splash of water or more milk.
For a vegan version, substitute Fairlife milk with almond or oat milk, but note the flavor and texture will change.
Shake the creamer well before pouring to mix any settled spices or pumpkin solids.

How to Use Your Pumpkin Maple Coffee Creamer

Add 1-2 tablespoons of this creamer to your brewed coffee and stir. It works well with drip coffee, espresso, or cold brew. You can also use it in lattes or cappuccinos for a seasonal twist. Beyond coffee, try it in:

Hot chocolate for a fall-inspired treat
Chai tea for added creaminess and spice
Smoothies to add flavor and protein
Baking recipes that call for milk or cream

Storing and Shelf Life

Keep your pumpkin maple coffee creamer refrigerated in a sealed container. It stays fresh for up to 7 days. Always shake before use, as natural ingredients may separate. If you notice any off smell or mold, discard immediately.

This homemade creamer is a great way to enjoy seasonal flavors without artificial ingredients. It’s easy to make, tastes delicious, and adds a cozy touch to your daily coffee ritual.
