I wanted to make a really easy and affordable recipe for a fall flavored coffee creamer, and I think this did the trick.
I made my own hemp milk from shelled hemp seeds I got from Trader Joe’s, but you can use store bought almond milk, skim milk, literally whatever milk you like. I also liked to make my own hemp-milk because I didn’t have to add sugar, whereas some store bought almond/dairy milks have a higher sugar count.
I wont bore you with seven more paragraphs on why I love fall and why the colors of the changing leaves make my heart swell, etc, etc, let’s just get to it!
Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
Ingredients
1 cup hemp seeds, or almonds, or cashews, soaked in 1 cup water for at least an hour, or overnight
4 cups water.
(skips seeds and water, and use 4 cups of skim milk or almond milk if you want.)
1 15oz can pumpkin puree, only ingredient should be pumpkin.
3 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, you can find my favorite here.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (optional, omit if you’re not eating added sugars.)
Directions
1. Blend 1 cup soaked seeds/nuts with 4 cups of water until well combined. If you’re using store bought milk, skip this step, and add 4 cups milk to step #2.
2. Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt, and maple syrup.
3. Once creamer is blended and combined, pour into containers to refrigerate. I use the reusable glass containers from amazon, easy to dish wash and reuse for other recipes, etc. This will last 10-14 days in your refrigerator, and I imagine half can be frozen! will report back!
I hope you like this recipe and make it at your home. I love the flavors of fall, so why not be able to enjoy a healthier, and more affordable alternative to some things you might find in the store already made!
