How to make homemade Coffee Creamer
In past recipes, I’ve used the stove top to help combine the brown sugar and seasonings to the milk. This helps the flavors combine evenly, no one wants a gritty creamer.
Unfortunately, cinnamon is a bark. And it doesn’t combine very well.
I tried several suggestions according to Google…including whisking the extracts with the cinnamon (supposedly the alcohol content helps dissolve the cinnamon). Well. It doesn’t work. At least it didn’t work for me.
So….I still heat the seasonings and sugar with the milk on the stove top. I do this because you want to make sure your brown sugar dissolves completely.
I store this creamer in a mason jar with a tight lid. That way I can give it a good shake before each serving, this helps evenly disperse all the cinnamon that inevitably falls to the bottom of the jar!
One more secret? I used butter flavoring. It comes in a little bottle like vanilla extract and can be found on the same shelf in the grocery store. Helps make your coffee creamer taste more like a cinnamon roll.

Hi Aimee, I may have a solution to your gritty Cinnamon dilemma! LorAnn Oils make a Cinnamon Oil. Maybe along with the butter and vanilla extract you can add a drop or two to the creamer. They are very intense so you wouldn’t need allot. I purchased mine at Walmart. There are all kinds of flavors and I think they are intended for candy making. Give it a go, I think you’ll be surprised. I think you can google LorAnn Oils if you can’t find it locally….. Good Luck OBTW the coconut is divine?
That is a great idea!
What percentage of milk did you use? This sounds delicious!
You can use whatever you like. For a thinner, healthier version use skim. For a thicker creamer, use whole milk.
Put the cinnamon in your coffeemaker with a clean filter. Add .5 to 1cup water. Remove pot and hit start and let sit for a few min and then place the pot back and the filter will keep the cinnamon and give the flavor out into the water. Make it strong and then add to the milk to taste.
I do this often for myself, but my husband doesn’t like the flavor!
I used a cinnamon stick….seemed to work.Very yummy…..going to start exploring flavors
Hi there. I would love to make coffee creamer, but with powdered milk. Do you have a recipe for cinnamon powdered coffee creamer for me. Thank you
Any idea how many calories is in a serving?? Just wonder trying to count them. I love the sound of your recipe.
This creamer sounds so delicious! I am one of those heathens who doesn’t like coffee, though, so I would maybe use it in a chai tea or, as someone else suggested, as a drizzle on coffee cake or something.
Doesn’t like coffee??? What? We can’t be friends. Kidding 🙂
Freezing would cool your coffee down
Sounds yummy
I would love to make these for the house as my daughter and I both are coffee fanatics, BUT she’s lactose intolerant! Do you know what I could substitute so I could make this? Thank you so much!
Ever tried freezing these into ice cube trays to extend the shelf life? In thinking just pop a couple out of the freezer when I have a cup of coffee. I love the idea of homemade creamer. Have you ever read the ingredients list on the store stuff?? yikes!
I haven’t tried freezing them, but that sounds pretty awesome. If you do it, let me know how it turns out!!
Use Lactose Free milk to greatly extend the use by date.
This has a bitter taste, too much cinnamon for me.
Couldn’t a cinnamon stick be used? I’m thinking, if allowed to steep for a while, it might impart some flavor but way less grit.
I think you’re right, it might work quite nicely!
This looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing and please tell me where to get a cup like the one shown!

I tried this one and must say I’m disappointed 🙁 I love cinnamon and just couldn’t get it to dissolve, so sad! I love all your other coffee creamers, maybe it’s just a fluke!
