Clean Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer

The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a quintessential flavor of Fall. But if you, like me, don't want the extra calories or sugar filled syrups added to your coffees you will love this alternative. PLUS dishing out $4.25 every time you want your favorite coffee house beverage can become quite costly.
 
      Part of the reason I love Fall so much is because of the flavors. Hot, spicy drinks. Pumpkin, squashes, and other roasted Fall veggies. Cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger! Wonderful. And, not to mention the beautiful Fall colors, crisp breezes,  hayrides, pumpkin patches!!! Oh the list could go on and on! Enjoy this beautiful day!




Makes about 2 cups of creamer
2 cups Almond Milk
2 tbsp mashed pumpkin (canned is fine, but make sure it’s just pumpkin and not pumpkin pie)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ - ½ tsp nutmeg
¼ - ½ tsp ground cloves
¼ - ½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp vanilla extract

Directions
1. Whisk all the ingredients, except vanilla if you’re planning to add some, together in a sauce pan over medium-high heat.
2. Heat until steaming, but not boiling.
3. Whisk in vanilla.
4. Pour into a jar for storage.

It's that easy!  Shake before using, as the spices may settle.
