Seasonal Starbucks drinks made healthy. YES! These paleo and vegan coffee creamers give you those wonderful holiday flavors without all of the questionable ingredients.
Pumpkin Spice. Peppermint Mocha. Gingerbread. Pretty sure these amazing coffee creamers don’t need any more of an introduction.
Although all three are delicious, I’d have to say my favorite of is definitely the gingerbread. I’m going to be making that one nonstop until Christmas. And maybe after Christmas too. Let’s be honest, probably until tulip season. It’s so good!
Now, let’s talk about the pumpkin spice coffee creamer. The golden child. This one does not disappoint. It tastes just like pumpkin pie. Feel free to use canned pumpkin purée for this recipe, but I definitely recommend making your own fresh pumpkin purée if you want a better pumpkin flavor. Just roast pumpkin pieces at 400ºF (204ºC) for about 30 minutes or until the pieces are tender and slightly browned. Then just mash with a fork! Super easy and worth the extra effort.
One quick note about the peppermint mocha. After refrigeration it will have the consistency of a chocolate mousse instead of a liquid creamer. Just scoop a bit out using a spoon and stir it right into your hot coffee. The chocolate will melt and create a smooth, creamy, chocolatey coffee. Yum!
Store these coffee creamers in sealed jars or bottles under refrigeration for up to 5 days. Oh, and be sure to shake before using! Enjoy!

Can you use the base recipe in hot coffee ? My last few cashew recipes has formed curdling and very appealing to drink
Yours has canned coconut milk so I’m excited to try it . Do I shake the milk or just use the cream.
Thank you
Hi Rose! Yes, you can! In fact, this is my favorite dairy-free coffee creamer! You’ll want to shake the can really well before opening to mix it up (so not just the cream on top). I hope you love it as much as I do! 🙂

Hi Kit, I was wondering if instead of cashews, could I use raw almonds? Also instead of maple syrup and stevia can I use local all natural honey?
Thanks I love this time of year and Gingerbread for me is a must, I also love pumpkin, I quit using them because of all the junk in them. I miss them in my tea’s.
Thanks for the recipes.
Hi, Cheryl! Thanks for the great questions! You could definitely use raw almonds, BUT I don’t think they will give you the same creaminess you get from cashews. Kind of just like the difference between homemade almond milk and cashew milk. The cashew milk is just going to be creamier in texture because of the higher ratio of fat to fiber than almonds. And you can also certainly use honey instead of maple syrup/stevia. I just find the taste of honey to be too strong in this kind of recipe. That’s really just my personal taste though! Aside from personal preference, I do think the maple syrup enhances the seasonal fall/holiday flavors here.
