What is Pumpkin Spice Creamer?
Pumpkin spice creamer is a store-bought liquid coffee creamer with pumpkin spice flavors. It is made of milk, pumpkin spice puree, pumpkin spice, and other ingredients. It also adds flavor to your coffee but usually contains a lot of sugars, carbs, and calories.
Is Pumpkin Spice Creamer keto-friendly?
No, pumpkin spice creamer is not keto-friendly. It is traditionally made with sugars and contains a lot of carbs and calories that will kick you out of ketosis or prevent you from getting there sooner.
This tasty homemade coffee creamer is the perfect substitute for a low carb diet and tastes so close to the real thing!
Ingredients Used
- Coconut milk: I use full-fat coconut milk for this recipe. Make sure to check that yours doesn't have added sugar. You can also use unsweetened coconut cream.
- Unsweetened almond milk: Using unsweetened will keep the carbs low.
- Canned pumpkin puree: You can decide to make your own pumpkin puree or buy it. I prefer to use canned pumpkin puree for this recipe because it's more convenient. I love this brand from Amazon because it contains real pumpkin puree.
- Monk fruit sweetener: Use any keto-friendly sugar substitute of your choice. You can also use a liquid sweetener like stevia. I prefer to use monk fruit sweetener or allulose.
- Pumpkin spice: You can either buy your pumpkin spice from the grocery store or make your spice blend at home. I like my pumpkin spice creamer spicy, so I make mine extra spicy.
- Vanilla extract: This will help bring out the natural sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Cinnamon powder: You can also use a cinnamon stick if you prefer.
How To Make Sugar-free Creamer
- Add all the ingredients minus the vanilla extract to a sauce pan and bring to a boil on medium heat.
- Turn down the heat to low and then simmer for 10 minutes, stirring it a few times.
- Turn off the heat and then add the vanilla extract.
- Let it cool down for a few minutes, then pour in your coffee, or store in the fridge.
- Top up your coffee with some sugar-free heavy whipping cream!
Storing and Reheating
You can store your homemade keto creamer in the refrigerator. Just put it in an airtight container first before refrigerating it. The creamer will remain fresh for about a week.
You can freeze your keto pumpkin spice creamer if you want to preserve it longer. Simply pour it into an icecube tray and freeze for a few hours. Then place the cubes in a sealable bag and pop them into the freezer. Take as many cubes as you want each time without thawing all of them.
To reuse, place it in your refrigerator to thaw. You can also leave it out of the fridge so that it thaws to room temperature. Once it's done, give a good shake before pouring in your coffee. You can also microwave it if you want it hot.
