We can’t start our day without a good cup of coffee, maybe two or three, depending on how good or bad our previous night’s sleep was. We’ve tried almost every flavored creamer on the market and realized that when we finally found one we loved, we spent a lot of money on something we could quickly make ourselves. Luckily, we’ve figured out how to make homemade creamer in many flavors.

You can make several different flavored homemade creamers with just a few ingredient changes. You’ll be surprised how easy it is!

The idea is to get creative and create your own homemade creamer flavors! The possibilities are endless.

You can also adjust the ingredients based on how sweet you like your coffee. Do you love your creamer sweet? Use sweetened condensed milk and sweetened almond milk.

Prefer it to be less sweet; get unsweetened condensed milk and unflavored milk.  I’ve found that I no longer need to add sugar to my coffee if my creamer is already sweet!

And some of our favorite holiday and fall flavors:

1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat-free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract

Peppermint Mocha:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat-free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
1 tsp peppermint extract

Eggnog:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat-free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp rum extract
1 tsp vanilla extract

Amaretto:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat-free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon almond extract

Once you create your homemade creamer, it can be stored in glass bottles (we reuse these bottles from drinks we pick up at the grocery store when we’re in a hurry). Although we go through creamer pretty quickly in our house, I recommend using a marker to write the expiration date on each bottle (I use the date from the milk we use).

Also, if you want to get fancy, you can get this adorable label maker on Amazon for less than $10 and create your own labels for each flavor!

Which flavor is your favorite?

      The bottles I used were 9.5oz, so yes, it made more than would fit in one bottle. You can store the homemade creamer in a larger container if you have one. I also use large mason jars.

      Hi Andrew – We usually use each bottle within a week. I’ll write the expiration date of the milk on the lid and keep them in an air tight container.

  • Not sure if I missed it, but how long will it last. You mentioned expiration date and writing it on container.

  • I just made the chocolate almond creamer. YUM! Used the cocoa powder, and did add a little vanilla extract as well. LOVE these recipes! For my own taste, I may try less sweetened condensed milk and use more regular milk for the next batch.
    Thank you for the great recipes!

  • I was looking for a homemade creamer recipe and found this and decided that I will try at least a few of these..then decided to look into making my own condensed milk….cant wait to make these!!

  • I love this!! I have been trying to find alternatives to the store bought creamers as they are full of bad stuff and loads of sugar. I have been looking for one made with stevia–I’m going to try making my own!! Thanks!!

  • I am glad I came across this post. I have not tried making my own creamer, but you made it look so easy. I am going to try making the chocolate hazelnut one first. That has always been a favorite flavor of mine.
