Spiced Pumpkin Nondairy Creamer Recipe

When days get shorter and cooler, add a healthy and delicious seasonal flavor to your cup of coffee or tea.

Bonus use: Try it in your oatmeal instead of milk!

Ingredients:

½ cup raw cashews

½ cup warm water

1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or milk of choice)

¼ cup + 1 Tbsp. pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

½ Tbsp. maple syrup

½–1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Soak cashews in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Add cashews with soaking water to a high-speed blender (a regular blender will work, too, but will take longer), and blend on high until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together cashew mixture and remaining ingredients until combined.
4. Refrigerate and shake before using. Use within a week.

Makes about 2 cups (16 servings).
