Keto Pumpkin Coffee Creamer

Why You’ll Love This Keto Pumpkin Creamer

🍂 Cozy Fall Flavor Without the Carbs

Traditional pumpkin spice creamers are loaded with sugar and artificial flavors. This keto version delivers all the warm, comforting spices of fall without the carb crash.

✅ Keto-Compliant and Sugar-Free

Sweetened with monk fruit or erythritol, this creamer won’t spike your blood sugar, making it perfect for keto, diabetic, or low-carb lifestyles.

🥄 Creamy, Frothable Texture

Thanks to heavy cream and almond milk, this creamer is rich, velvety, and blends beautifully into hot or iced coffee. It even froths well for lattes!

⏱️ Meal Prep Friendly

Make a batch ahead of time and store it in the fridge all week long.

Is Pumpkin Keto-Friendly?

Pumpkin, in moderation, is perfectly keto-friendly. While it’s technically a starchy vegetable, pure pumpkin puree contains just 6–7g of net carbs per ½ cup. In this recipe, you’re only using a small amount per serving—well within keto limits.

✅ Tip: Always use unsweetened 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling (which contains added sugars and starches).

Keto Pumpkin Coffee Creamer Ingredients

🛒 You’ll Need:

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any keto-friendly milk)

• 3 tbsp pumpkin puree (100% canned pumpkin)

• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove)

• ½ tsp cinnamon (extra for depth)

• 3 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (alcohol-free if needed)

• Pinch of sea salt (enhances flavor)

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 tbsp MCT oil (for bulletproof coffee fans)

• ½ tsp ground turmeric (for an anti-inflammatory boost)

• Collagen powder (for extra protein and creaminess)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine:

• Heavy cream

• Almond milk

• Pumpkin puree

• Pumpkin pie spice

• Cinnamon

• Sweetener

• Sea salt

Step 2 – Simmer and Whisk

Whisk the mixture gently until everything is smooth and well combined. Bring to a low simmer—not a boil—then reduce heat and let it cook for 5–7 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 3 – Add Vanilla & Optional Boosters

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you’re adding MCT oil or collagen, whisk it in at this point.

Step 4 – Strain (Optional)

For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the creamer through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a glass container.

Step 5 – Cool & Store

Let the creamer cool before storing in an airtight bottle or mason jar. Shake well before each use.

Tips for Best Results

• Shake before each use: Natural separation is normal.

• Don’t boil the mixture: Overheating can cause curdling.

• Use fresh spices: For best flavor, make sure your spices aren’t stale.

• Sweeten to taste: Start with less sweetener and adjust as needed.
