New Apple Pie Spice Blend starts with the same creamy oat-cashew base as their best-selling OatNog™ and VegNews Award-winning Lavender Vanilla Botanical Blend, but with notes of baked apple and buttery piecrust that perfectly complement hot and iced coffee drinks. With Apple Pie Spice, better-than-homemade flavor is just a pour away – it’s not only great to sip straight, but it also foams to barista standards for plant-based lattes, performs as well as dairy in hot applications like baking, and can even be spiked with liquor to craft the ultimate cozy-season cocktail.
Elmhurst’s Pumpkin Spice Oat Creamer offers a simple and creamy vegan option for adding a splash of everyone’s favorite fall flavor to coffee or tea with just 1g sugar and 15 calories per serving. OatNog™ can be sipped as a cozy beverage on its own or frothed into coffee, hot chocolate or alcohol for spiked nog lovers. For a limited-time, these seasonal beverages will join shelves alongside the brand’s popular core line of Oat Creamers including Unsweetened, French Vanilla, Chai Spice and Caramel Macchiato, a formerly seasonal flavor that has since joined the year-long collection due to its massive consumer popularity.
“We’re thrilled to welcome back Pumpkin Spice Oat Creamer and OatNog™ and introduce our new Apple Pie Spice Seasonal Blend just in time for the fall and winter seasons,” said Heba Mahmoud, Sr. Director of Brand Marketing and Innovation at Elmhurst. “We believe that the fall and winter months are a time for cozy gatherings and indulgent treats – so we set out to craft better-for-your, clean-label takes on holiday classics, giving plant-based and vegan consumers permission to indulge without the added sugar or junk ingredients. We are excited to bring back some fan-favorite seasonal offerings and introduce the unique and nostalgic flavor experience of our Apple Pie Spice Seasonal Blend. All deliver the specialty coffee experiences consumers love, without any of the sugary syrups, gums or oils they’ll find in most products.”
Elmhurst’s commitment to delivering exceptional seasonal offerings continues to drive its explosive market trajectory. In 2021, the introduction of Elmhurst's OatNog™ shattered records, becoming the most successful new product launch in the natural space 1 with continued strong unit movement in 2022. With the upcoming debut of the Apple Pie Spice Seasonal Blend and return of Pumpkin Spice Oat Creamer, Elmhurst anticipates a repeat of the remarkable consumer demand.
With roots as a former dairy, Elmhurst's standards are high when it comes to how plant-based beverage should taste. This is why the brand has expertly selected the simplest ingredients to get these fan-favorite flavors just right, so dairy-free drinkers don’t miss out on any of the fun this season.

Like everything Elmhurst, these seasonal beverages are crafted through a unique HydroRelease™ method.

With sustainability a top priority for the brand, HydroRelease™ upcycles any waste into renewable energy and is powered by 100% renewable Hydroelectric Power. Additionally, all cartons are 100% recyclable, made from FSC certified paperboard saving approximately 100,000 mature trees annually.

About Elmhurst 1925
Elmhurst 1925 makes simple, nutritious, and incredibly delicious plant-based dairy products. Elmhurst was founded in 2017, but the company’s roots date back to 1925. Originally Elmhurst Dairy, the multigenerational, family-run organization operated for almost a century under Max Schwartz and son Henry. After a meeting with plant nutrition pioneer, Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, Henry made a progressive pivot and decided to close his famous dairy plant and found Elmhurst Milked. All Elmhurst plant milks are created through a unique HydroRelease™ method, which uses water to harness the full nutritional content of raw nuts, grains, and seeds. Nutrients are separated and recombined naturally to form a smooth, creamy beverage without the use of added gums or stabilizers. All Elmhurst varieties have six ingredients or less, no added gums or emulsifiers, and up to four times as many nuts as other leading brands.
