Fall is here! Let’s be real, fall = Pumpkin Spice Latte Season.

Get your cans of pumpkin and get ready! Here we have a paleo pumpkin spice latte creamer that you make in your high speed blender in less than 10 minutes. No heating, no cooking. Just bled and pour.

What is in a pumpkin spice latte?

Here is a list of ingredients you will find in a commercially sold pumpkin spice latte:

Sugar, condensed milk (AKA more sugar), pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice seasoning and some funny additives, like potassium sorbate.

A Grande pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks with coconut milk and no whipped cream includes 44 grams of sugar (refined sugar). That’s a lot of sugar, which can really mess with your gut health. This is a great article explaining the sugar and gut health connection.

How to make a pumpkin spice latte healthy

To make a healthy pumpkin spice latte, we first want to start with replacing the refined sugar with a natural sweetener. Dates are used in this paleo pumpkin spice latte because they are full of sweetness, fiber and minerals like potassium and magnesium.

With the dates, we include 1 can of full fat coconut milk, ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract a bit of salt and a little pumpkin pie spice seasoning.

Where to find pumpkin pie spice?

Around mid-September, most grocery stores will start to carry pumpkin pie spice. Trader Joe’s has a great one. Just look for one with the only ingredients being cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and/or allspice.  You can also buy online. If I am out of Trader Joe’s pumpkin pie spice and can’t leave the house, I order this pumpkin spice from Vitacost.

What does this paleo pumpkin spice latte creamer taste like?

If you love pumpkin, you will love this creamer. It’s a slightly toned down version of a Starbucks PSL. It’s pumpkin-y with the perfect amount of sweet and spice. It’s sweet, but not overly sweet. Honestly, I eat it by the spoonful every morning when it’s in my fridge.

How to make a paleo pumpkin spice latte

First, make the creamer.

Pack pitted dates into a 1 cup measuring cup

Next, add dates, 1 can of coconut milk, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ cup of canned pumpkin, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice seasoning to your high speed blender.

Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until the dates are well blended and it’s creamy and smooth.

The creamer will have a thick consistency, like a pudding (and can definitely be eaten like pudding).

Add ¼ cup of creamer to 1 cup of black coffee or add 2 tablespoons of creamer and 2 tablespoons of almond milk to one cup of black coffee.

Store creamer in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Can you freeze this pumpkin spice latte creamer?

Yes! I recommend first getting a feel for how much you need in your morning coffee (I like ¼ cup for every cup of coffee or precisely, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons for my large morning “cup”), then freezing in individual portions so they can just be dropped in your coffee. Freeze in silicon muffin tin cups and then move to a freezer bag once frozen.

You should definitely make this creamer today and let me know what you think. If you’re really feeling the pumpkin spirit, whip up a batch of these Paleo Pumpkin Spice Muffins. The leftover pumpkin from a 15 oz can of pumpkin is exactly what you will need for the muffins. You won’t be sorry. Happy pumpkin season!
