Bring the coffee house flavor home with my Homemade Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Creamer. It’s so simple, will save you money and make ahead (and freezable) too!

Why This Recipe Works

Ididn’t start drinking coffee until I was in my mid-thirties at a girls weekendbut from that point on I was hooked. However, I didn’t like the price tag ofcoffee house beverages, so I started experimenting making my creamers at home.

I can make this creamer for pennies compared to that coffee house version which saves me money to spend elsewhere. Plus, it’s made with all natural ingredients.

Thisthis coffee creamer with hints of vanilla and cinnamon was one of the first Imade at home and is still an all-time favorite to this day.

Ialways joke that I like my creamer with a dash of coffee. That may be a bit ofan exaggeration but what I love about this homemade creamer is that it is sosimple but full of flavor! Use as little or as much as you like but truth betold, it doesn’t take much.

A couple of other favorites are my Homemade Peppermint Mocha Creamer and All-Natural Pumpkin Spice Creamer.

How Easy Is It To Make Homemade Coffee Creamer?

Since there are only four ingredients inthis creamer, it’s super simple to mix up. I like that I can find all theingredients at the grocery store. I’ll often choose store brand ingredients soI can save even more money.

One of the easiest ways to make it is to use a large mason jar (affiliate link) with an airtight plastic storage cap (affiliate link). I just pour all the ingredients into the jar and shake it up until everything is blended.

To measure out just the right amount, I use the mini-measuring cup (affiliate link) that I just love! I use it far more than I ever thought I would. I like two ounces of creamer to 12 ounces of black coffee.

The great thing about storing it in a mason jar (3) is that you can pour out just what you want into your coffee and keep the remaining mixture in the refrigerator. I always label (affiliate link) and date it so that my family knows what it is too. Store it for up to a week, if it lasts that long!

Oftentimes, I’ll make the homemade creamer in the blender instead (1). I add all the ingredients to the blender jar (2), then blend it for just a minute or two. The mixture will have more bubbles but that’s ok as they will disappear when you mix the creamer into your coffee.

Since the ingredients can settle over time, you’ll want to remix it each time you use some. I like to use a mini-whisk (affiliate link) because it is the perfect size to fit into the jar and blend there.

Make Ahead and Freezer Friendly Coffee Creamer

This recipe is naturally make-ahead and will store in the refrigerator for up to aweek. Sometimes I’ll make a double batch and freeze the extra.

How to Freeze Coffee Creamer

I like to use reusable silicone baking cups (affiliate link) to freeze the extra creamer (4) because I can measure out just the amount I want into each cup. I’ll freeze the cups of creamer and when they’re solid, I pop them out into a reusable storage bag (affiliate link) and label (affiliate link).

Note that when you’re popping the creamer outof the silicone cups, it will start to melt pretty fast. So work quickly! Haveyour labeled bag ready to go and then move it to the freezer as soon as youcan.

When my cup of coffee is ready, I pull out onecreamer cup and plop it into my coffee, stir and I’m good to go.
