#1,653: Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer with Essential Oils
I found this recipe somewhere online and was excited to give it a try. The original recipe I saw used canned unsweetened coconut milk, but I am in love with this coconut creamer from Trader Joe's, so I decided to use this instead. Personally, I really liked this, but the oils gave this a slightly more bitter flavor. I think I expected it to be sweet...not sure why. BUT I did like this. And I put it all in a mason jar after I blended it up so that I can just shake the jar and pour it in my coffee in the morning. I love that there are the added benefits of the oils I used, especially anti-viral properties during this time of year! Anything to help keep us healthy right?!!? 2 c unsweetened coconut milk (I used coconut creamer) 1/3 c pure pumpkin 1 drop Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil 1 drop Clove Essential Oil Optional: 1 drop Ginger Essential Oil (I omitted, but added a tiny pinch of ground ginger) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, and shake well before using.
I made this with non-fat creamer and added some artificial sweetener, which helps cut the bitterness. It's really yummy! I made my third batch of it this morning! Now I wanna try a peppermint recipe as well :) Loving learning all the DIY's I can make with my oils!
