Pumpkin spice season is officially HERE and to say I am excited is a bit of a understatement!!!!
This recipe is one I’ve been making, on repeat, since the start of October & my only regret is not sharing it with you sooner. One taste and I know you’ll be just as obsessed as I am (& hopefully forgive me for taking so long to share it with you)!
I know that here in Australia, for some reason, we haven’t yet fully discovered the joy that is the pumpkin spiced latte (or pumpkin spice anything for that matter) so if you’re wondering what all the fuss is about think gingerbread meets chai but 10 x better!!!!
I’m pretty sure you can get a pumpkin spiced latte at Starbucks but, they cost a small fortune (+ they’re not exactly healthy or easily accessible for many of us) so, what’s a girl to do when her heart aches pumpkin spiced everything yet sadly there is no pumpkin spiced anything on the cards?! Or is it in the cards!? Either way, it ain’t happening!
So, what’s a girl to do?!
She heads to the kitchen and whips up with her own deliciously simple, quick and easy, healthy homemade {sugar free} pumpkin spice coffee creamer that’s what!
Honestly, I’m not sure I can drink my coffee any other way from now on. Well, that is until we hit December 1st when gingerbread szn officially starts and you better believe I will be adding gingerbread spice to all of the things!!!! You have been warned (excited much?! I think yasss!!!)
So, it’s time to skip super expensive, sugar laden Starbucks and try my {sugar free, dairy free, low carb & vegan friendly) pumpkin spice coffee creamer recipe. Life as you know it will be changed, forever!!!
What you’ll need to make your creamy, dreamy healthy pumpkin spice coffee creamer?:
♦ Coffee (hot or iced – a double shot for me pls) +
♦ a splash of vanilla
♦ sweetener of choice (I ♥ to use vanilla collagen which adds a hit of protein & is great for hair, skin, nails & gut health or sugar free / monk fruit maple syrup) and
♦ a pinch of flaky sea salt which elevates everything. always!.
That’s it!!!
How to make your healthy, homemade {sugar free} pumpkin spiced coffee creamer?! :
Just throw everything in to your blender & blend, blend, blend. Ok, it really only takes one quick 10 second whizz and you my friend are one step away form having the creamiest, dreamiest latte you’ll ever have!! Ever. Ever. Ever!!!!!
Well, until I introduce you to my gingerbread latte . . .
Serve it hot, serve it iced, not a coffee drinker?! (ummm how are we friends again?! jks you know I love you) it’s also incredible on a hot (or iced) chocolate!!!
Add a little whipped cream + some extra cinnamon on top if you’re fancy (<— do it, thank me later!!).
Gluten Free – Dairy Free (if you want) – Sugar free – Low carb – Paleo – Keto – Vegan Friendly!!!
But , most importantly, it really does taste like an absolute dream <— think spiced coffee ice cream. It’s a little cup of heart warming, soul soothing happiness and you need it in your life because, yummmmm!
From my pumpkin spiced, coffee loving heart to yours, enjoy xo

- Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream – I use dairy free*
- 2-3 scoops vanilla collagen creamer **
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pumpkin spice – measure with your heart
- pinch sea salt

Notes:
*I used loco dairy free thickened cream which I just bought at coles but, you can sub extra milk but, the cream really does make it thicker, creamer & (at least) 10 x extra lush. It’s 100% worth it in my opinion.
** or sweetener of choice – maple syrup is my go-to alternative in this recipe – I use sugar free/ monk fruit maple & its SO good in here!
