I love adding this homemade coffee creamer with maple syrup, or this homemade hazelnut coffee creamer to my morning coffee!

They have such a rich taste of real ingredients that goes beyond even what a coffee shop can offer you. A good cup of coffee goes a long way with the right creamer! And when you use natural ingredients:)

Why make your own coffee creamer with maple syrup?

Delicious taste: Homemade coffee creamer with maple syrup is so yummy, flavorful and leaves a comforting creamy texture in your mouth. The maple syrup taste is a perfect addition to coffee, whether iced or hot! 

Much healthier for you: It can be challenging to find a good homemade coffee creamer recipe that does not contain sweetened condensed milk or corn syrup. Homemade creamers are not only easy but contain healthy ingredients. You will definitely still have all the wonderful satisfying feelings when you drink your morning cup of coffee knowing you aren’t feeding nasty chemicals and other stuff into your body.  

Simple to make: You can mix this recipe up in less then five minutes! Once you have the coffee creamer all mixed up and ready to go in your fridge, you can easily pull it out and add to your coffee. (This recipe is not just great for hot coffee in the morning; I love adding a dash to my afternoon coffee also!) 

Affordable: Store-bought healthy flavored coffee creamers can be pretty pricey that I have seen, so what a better way to save money then to make your own homemade coffee creamer! 

On the weekends, my husband will make me a delicious and inviting mug of coffee. He starts with grinding a batch of whole coffee beans in our coffee bean grinder. Then makes the coffee. While the coffee is finishing up he starts some milk frothing with a few pumps of coffee syrup added for an extra special flair, and then gets out any cream, coffee creamers or coffee flavoring syrups that we might use. He presents it to me in one of our favorite mugs🙂

This along side a nutritious and yummy breakfast is the way to live!

Are homemade coffee creamers healthy?

Homemade coffee creamers are much healthier then store-bought creamers.

Take a look at this list below. Here are some of the many unnecessary ingredients found in store-bought coffee creamers. When you add conventional coffee creamers to your coffee, this is the (un)lovely stuff you’re consuming and feeding your body. 

• Natural and Artificial Flavors
• Carrageenan
• Mono- and Diglycerides
• Cellulose Gel
• Sugar
• Cellulose Gum
• Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil
• Sodium Caseinate (a Milk Derivative)
• Disodium Phosphate

Some different flavors of coffee creamer that we can find at the grocery store include:

• French vanilla
• pumpkin spice
• hazelnut
• macchiato
• and raspberry white chocolate

This homemade creamer recipe is a great alternative to store bought creamers. 

When you make your own homemade creamer, you can be assured that you know what you are consuming and feeding to your body. 

This coffee creamer recipe uses only 4 ingredients:

• half and half or milk
• vanilla flavoring or vanilla extract
• maple syrup
• heavy cream

Optional -A pinch of salt can be added as well as 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for additional flavor.

Dairy free options- milk and heavy cream with almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, canned coconut cream etc.

Is it cheaper to make your own coffee creamer?

Yes, it is definitely cheaper to make your own homemade coffee creamers. You can purchase the simple ingredients for much less then you would spend at the store for a single bottle of creamer. And when you purchase hazelnut extract, that will last you YEARS! Lots of coffee creamer! 

This homemade creamer can be used for hot coffee as well as iced coffee recipes.

Enjoy this healthy cup of coffee and know that this is something you can truly feel good about today!

How to make Homemade Coffee Creamer

To a glass jar or storage bottle, add the half and half or milk, cream, maple syrup, vanilla and optional salt.

Put the lid on and give it a good shake. The cream could start thickening up the mixture though so you don’t want to over mix.

Label the jar with the date made. Store for up to a week.

PRO TIP: make sure that you use milk and cream that is not soon to expire, otherwise your coffee creamer will not last long and could sour or curdle rather quickly.
