Make your own yummy Homemade Coffee Creamer for a healthier, additive alternative to store bought creamers.
Homemade Coffee Creamer
How do you like your coffee? I am a cream and sugar kind of gal. I love powdered creamer but I don’t like all the ugly ingredients that are listed on it so I have just actually just been using plain fat-free or 1% milk for years.
Have you read what’s on the label of the store bought powdered creamer? Yuck!
So I started doing some research and playing around with making my own and I am so happy with this 3 ingredient Homemade Coffee Creamer!!
The healthy benefits of the coconut oil are fabulous too.
Ingredients
1 Cup Powdered Milk
1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 TBSP melted coconut oil
If you like more flavored creamer then you can add a teaspoon of powdered vanilla or cocoa powder too 🙂
How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer
1. Mix together the powdered milk and powdered sugar.
2. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients.
3. Pulse in a food processor for about 1 minute or until fine. Or you can put it in your jar and shake vigorously.
If there are any slightly bigger pieces, don’t worry. They melt perfectly in your coffee. 🙂
Store in a jar of your choice.
ENJOY!!
Paula Thompson says
Thank You so very much for the website!!!
I need to save money on the food bill and get rid of the chemical crap in the “healthy” stuff you buy in the store. I say again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
Patsy says
Why use coconut oil in the creamer?
PennyBatts says
It’s important to note the difference between Instant Milk and powdered milk. They are completely different processes and result in much different products. Powdered milk won’t dissolve like Instant will. But thank you for this recipe, I’ve been missing the coconut oil!
Sharon Eilzabeth says
The main reason l use non dairy creamers .. l am lactose intolerant.. so this homemade creamer won’t work for me.
Jen says
You can use powdered coconut milk!
Sherri Brown says
What can be used alternative to powder sugar? I am diabetic
Sherri says
You could substitute with your choice of artificial sweetener if desired. You would need much, much less of course. 🙂
Joan says
Can you use pumpkin pie spice in this creame
Sherri says
I think that’s a fabulous idea! I have an easy recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice, https://www.tosimplyinspire.com/homemade-pumpkin-pie-spice.html. I’m going to try it too 🙂
mizwizard says
I don’t use sugar in my coffee and I am on keto. Why is there sugar in a creamer?
Karen says
This is just what I needed. I have started making my own liquid creamer, but have run out. No more milk to make more and I refuse to go out. I have all the ingredients for this, so I’ll give it a shot. Gotta have the creamer for coffee.
Janice Green says
Thank you!!!♡♡♡
Lorraine says
How long will the coffee creamer keep
Sherri says
I have kept mine in a sealed container on the counter for several weeks at a time 🙂
Trena says
Why do I need the coco a nut oil my daughter is not a fan can I make it without
Mandy says
What could you use instead of coconut oil as I’m allergic to it
Teresa Sanchez says
I love this and will try it. I Started drinking my coffee black because of all the bad stuff in creamers. With the holidays coming this will be good to have for guest too.
But I love the Pumpkin pie flavor does anyone know how to make it at home?
Abby says
Nice and simple recipe Sherri, I also checked the creamer label 2-3 years back and after that started making my own coffee creamer. I started with dairy milk but I found Condensed milk works better for me and its really easy to add flavor, my mom loves White chocolate mocha for that we just use Choco chips with cocoa flavors. Between, me and my mom write about coffee much, check out our drip machine list too.
Bobbie Murphy says
I don’t like sugar in my coffee, & all the ugly ingredients in non dairy creamer. Non dairy! If it doesn’t have dairy what does it have? I like to make my own also & here’s how I do it. I buy the same powdered milk, Carnation dry milk & powered goat milk & mix it equally. You can get these products @ Walmart. That’s it! I love it, ty.
Patricia says
Going to try this tomorrow. I use powdered soy milk to replace the dairy and Truvia for sweeteners in other instant mixes a d it seems to work great
karen says
Can you taste the coconut oil my Hubby wouldnt like that the recipe sounds great
Sherri says
You can taste a little coconuty flavor depending on the brand you use. I have actually left out the oil several times and it’s just as good to me 🙂
Kathy says
i love coffee mate powder creamer my daughter sent me this recipe. How does it really taste though
Does it taste like coffee mate powder in your coffee? And the powdered sugar is that the white stuff u sprinkle on pancakes are fruit tarts? The bag u show on your post we don’t have in Ontario so I just wanna make sure I buy the right powdered sugar
Thanks
Kathy
Sherri says
I love the flavor of this recipe. The coconut oil that I use is a little stronger because I love the taste of coconut oil. There are many coconut oils that have no flavor though too. And yes, the sugar is just white powdered sugar. My mother-in-law actually leaves the sugar out of hers. Just knowing that is so much healthier makes me happy 🙂
Katy L says
Our favorite creamer flavor is Amaretto. Have you seen this flavor anywhere, or know where it can be purchased?
Sherri says
Amazon has several choices of amaretto flavoring 🙂 http://amzn.to/1FBovdH
Wanda Kugle says
Do you have to use any kind of sugar?
Sherri says
You could leave out the sugar if you prefer.
Chole Media says
Where can I get the coconut oil?
Sherri says
You can find it in the grocery store aisle with other oils, sometimes on the top shelf. Or I buy it on Amazon too. http://amzn.to/1Cekmpi 🙂
Linda Foley says
Do you have a home made or copy cat recipe for liquid coffee creamer? My husband loves Coffeemate Natural Bliss. Any ideas?
Sherri says
Yes! A great homemade recipe is:
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons maple syrup
Linda Foley says
On my way to the store! Thanks, I will let you know if I can fool him!
Burgundy says
I just started making coffee creamer at home using
1 small can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 to 1cup heavy cream
1/2 to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (you can sub any milk)
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla 1 almond)
Pour everything into an empty milk carton and shake, then enjoy. Or split recipes into two mason jars…which is great for 2 different extract choices 🙂
We use a ton of creamer, and I’ve loved working different variations of this. My favorite is 1 cup heavy cream to 1 cup milk, very creamy and sweet…I love it because it doesn’t take much.
Looking forward to trying this dry creamer for work!
Tammy says
Can you substitute Splenda for the powdered sugar?
Sherri says
You probably could use Splenda but you would probably need less. Then add more if you need to.
vicky says
How would you go about using this if you wanted hazelnut flavored creamer. I am really wanting to try this but I like my creamer flavored. Thanks for sharing I will still try the recipe.
Sherri says
I would think that a few drops of hazelnut extract would work. 🙂
Here are a few on Amazon http://amzn.to/1xYj1GS
vicky says
Ok thanks cant wait to try
Vee says
Can this be made lactose free?
Sherri says
Yes, you could buy Soy Milk Powder to use instead. Here are several on Amazon – http://amzn.to/1tzlUMa
Meaghan says
Is the powdered sugar crucial to this recipe? I prefer to use maple syrup or honey as a sweetener…. Thanks! 🙂
Sherri says
Not at all. I have actually made it with none at all and it’s great. I use organic coconut sugar as my sweetner too. 🙂
Frecklefae78 says
I’ve seen crystallized honey before at Winco in the bulk bins.
Sherri says
Ohhh, good to know! Thank you for sharing 🙂
willow says
You don’t mention if the one you’re replacing is supposed to be non-dairy or not. I mean, most people use “creamer” because they have dairy issues, which is why (I’m supposing) the store bought stuff doesn’t have powdered milk in it but a “milk derivative”. I could be wrong though, I often am, esp when not presented with all the facts. ^_^
Carolyn says
Does this need to be refrigerated?
Sherri says
No, I have mine just on the counter. 🙂
Sherri Lynn says
Love this idea! Curious as to what the oil does? I’m not a big fan of coconut oil, was wondering if I could leave it out or should I substitute another fat?
Sherri says
The oils makes it taste “creamier”. i have friends that use butter too. I chose coconut oil because it’s a healthier fat. 🙂
peg says
Coconut oil isn’t just a fat that’s better than the junk in creamer, it’s a GOOD FOR YOU food. It actually HELPS you stay healthier and lose weight. Look it up!
Leyla says
I love creamer, it wasn’t part of my diet until I moved to a new work place where there is free coffee and creamer. I know of its lack of nutritional value – so I stopped alltogether – but now that I see this recipe I am definitely going to pin it and save it for further use!
Thank you so much ’cause I was just about to ask about the nutritional value of this new creamer. And you say it right there! Thank you so much again!!
Sherri says
You are so welcome 🙂 I was the same. Once I paid attention to the ingredients of the store bought, I stopped using it. I am thrilled with making it myself!
