¼cupsweetened condensed coconut milkadjust to preferred sweetness
¼cuppumpkin puree
1tsp.pumpkin pie spice
1tsp.vanilla extract
Instructions
Add all ingredients except vanilla to a small saucepan.
Cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes, whisking continuously as it heats.
Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla, and then let cool.
Optionally, add the mixture to a blender. I like using my single-serving cup blender for this. The creamer is fine without this step, I just like the slight texture change this gives. Blend until smooth.
Store in refrigerator 7-10 days.

Recipe Substitutions and Variations
There are plenty of ways to change up this homemade pumpkin spice creamer depending on your preferences or what you have on hand. While canned coconut milk gives it a rich, creamy texture, you can easily swap it out for other non-dairy milk like almond milk, soy milk, or even cashew milk.
If you're not a fan of pure maple syrup, you can sweeten it with coconut sugar or cane sugar. For an extra touch of fall flavor, try simmering the mixture with a cinnamon stick or a splash of vanilla extract. Just make sure to use real pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling, so you have control over the sweetness and spice levels. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking or experiment with different non-dairy milk alternatives for the base.
