Coffee. Sweet, coffee. It’s my favorite part of the day! But sometimes you need something more than just milk or cream in your cup of joe. This cinnamon coffee creamer recipe is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! It’s also really easy to make. With fall just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to learn how to make homemade coffee creamer. Then you can hoard it all to yourself or share it with your friends. Totally up to you.
This is the homemade coffee creamer that my friend, Kristin, used in the geometric brunch shoot that I shared as a fun back to school idea for moms. Because this creamer is the perfect way to treat yo self. And sometimes moms need help doing that. Adding this creamer to your coffee instantly makes you feel like putting on your slippers, finding a cozy blanket and watching your favorite TV shows all day. 
This homemade flavored creamer recipe served as the base and then was modified, by Kristin, to feature cinnamon and vanilla flavors. Because, yum. There really are an endless varieties that you can make following this basic recipe. I intend to make all different kinds. Except that I will probably gain, like a million pounds (I don’t blame the creamer – I have a terrible diet in general, I love me a bag of Trader Joe’s Kettle Corn). The key here is good quality ingredients to really let the flavors come through.
How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer
First you will add the condensed milk and Half & Half to a blender to combine. I have used condensed milk before but never really paid attention to it. I was surprised by the smell. I figured it would smell sweeter or something. But it is a milk based product after all and it smelled, well, milky. 
Next, add the spices and vanilla to the milks and blend again until well combined. At this point inhale deeply. It smells amazing. And imagine you are swimming in it. 
Pour your finished homemade coffee creamer in to whatever jar you want to store it in. If you put it in one of these super fancy mason jars it is also ready to gift. Take some to the neighbor. Take some to a teacher. Or hoard it for yourself like I did. I won’t judge. Just don’t eat it with a spoon. That’s crossing the line (but you’ll be tempted to I promise!)
I am so in love with this cinnamon coffee creamer recipe. I’m almost out and plan on making some more tomorrow. It takes next to no time at all and is crazy good and so worth the calories in my opinion. And when I used it in my iced coffee at the geometric brunch photo shoot, it tasted just like my fave Mocha Cappuccino Blast from Baskin Robbins!!! YUM!
That’s it. Easy. Kristin says you can also add 1/2 tsp of butter extract (did you know that was a thing?!) to make it taste more like a cinnamon roll!!! No matter what flavor you make, just be sure to shake it up really well before you use it. The cinnamon tends to settle at the bottom of the jar.

March 13, 2017 at 4:35 pmI’m wondering how to make this a Cinnamon Mocha Creamer. I happened upon a store Brand Cinnamon Mexican Mocha and fell in love with it. But, now I have two problems- 1)I live rurally so I only go into town for grocery shopping once a month and I don’t remember what store I purchased it at, and 2)I’m not sure how to incorporate the Mocha flavoring in there. Ugh! Help!!

March 13, 2017 at 5:36 pmHmmmm, I’m not sure! I think to start I would add a TBSP of cocoa powder and go from there! The Cinnamon Mexican Mocha creamer sounds AMAZING by the way!

October 19, 2014 at 10:53 amIs this creamer freezable? I’m the only one in my family who likes cinnamon in her coffee, and I use it as a treat.

October 21, 2014 at 12:10 pmHi Cheryl, I’m not sure if it is freezable! I just know when I make this, that I will use it and then not make it again for a while. But you could always take half of the batch and give it to a neighbor or friend as a gift to get it out of your house. :)

September 13, 2013 at 8:45 amLooks good! I recently read a recipe by Sarah Kay Hoffman (aka The Gutsy Girl) who did a creamer recipe with coconut milk. I can’t stand coconut anything! In small doses your recipe looks like a way to indulge in a cup of coffee and make it feel super decadent without even leaving the house!
Sharon Garofalow says
September 13, 2013 at 10:29 amYes! That is why it is good to give it as gifts too. Probably don’t want to drink the WHOLE batch all by yourself. :)
