Prep: 10 ALL THE PUMPKIN THINGS, Y’ALL! Today we have Jennifer from Wanderlust and Wellness (opens in a new tab) sharing her deliciously epic Paleo Pumpkin Coffee Creamer recipe with us to kick off the beginning of fall. Head over to her blog, (opens in a new tab) say hey, and be sure to let her know how much you like her recipe!
Fall is just around the corner and this Paleo pumpkin coffee creamer is exactly what your coffee needs! I know, I know, it’s only September, hold the pumpkin for another month, but I. CAN’T! I, Jennifer, used to be a Starbucks junky and the minute they released the pumpkin spice latte I was the first in line. But, I quickly realized the ingredients in their pumpkin spice latte were not so good for the body. Even with the changes they made last year, it still contains ingredients I’d rather avoid. And the best way to avoid harsh chemical ingredients is to make your own homemade replacement! Enter in the Paleo pumpkin creamer.
Making your own homemade coffee creamer is super easy with my all-time favorite Paleo hack ingredient, canned coconut milk. In case you were wondering, canned coconut milk does not taste like coconut. It has a smooth, nutty flavor, but not too strong, making it an easy ingredient swap for dairy. I always keep a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator so that I can use the hard cream that forms when it’s cold. You’ll want to have a can in the refrigerator for this recipe.
I couldn’t wait for the first day of fall to roll around so I could whip up a batch of this Paleo Pumpkin Coffee Creamer.
Smooth coconut milk, organic pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness and an array of spices make this Paleo pumpkin coffee creamer the perfect addition to your morning coffee. I normally start my mornings with, what I call, “fatty coffee”. Which is actually just another name for the famed bullet proof coffee. I simply replace the plain canned coconut milk I would normally use in my coffee with this pumpkin creamer variation. However you add it to your coffee, it won’t disappoint. Just a tip, blend together your coffee and the pumpkin creamer in a blender, it will make is silky smooth!

I love this creamer so much! I make it every year in the fall for a couple of years now. I am wondering if you think this would freeze well though. I’m having a baby and trying to get some snacks and meals together and I think this would be lovely to have prepped. Although it really isn’t that hard to make.
I made this for my daughter and she loved it!!
YES! What a great idea for creamer. Love that it’s a healthy twist on coffee house favorites.
This sounds yummy
Oooh yum! Love the idea of pumpkin creamer!
