Homemade Flavored (or Not) Coffee Creamer – 30+ Flavor Combo Ideas (No Heating Required) – THM and Keto Friendly

30.1K shares
Jump to Recipe
This page may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

I’m one of those “Would you like some coffee with your creamer?” type people. Coffee in and of itself is boring and bitter to me. But I do enjoy its benefits upon occasion. So, to enjoy it, I must make it palatable. Enter: creamer. And lots of it!

Homemade Flavored Coffee Creamer - THM - Trim Healthy Mama - Keto - Low Carb

However, store-bought creamer, even though it is so very yummy, is also so very unhealthy. It’s chock full of yucky things like sugar and preservatives.

Since I’ve been doing Trim Healthy Mama, I decided some on plan coffee creamer was in order. So I started making my own! And really, it could NOT be any easier. It contains so few ingredients, it’s so fast to whip up, and it tastes so very good!

Homemade Flavored Coffee Creamer - THM - Trim Healthy Mama - Keto - Low Carb

Coffee Creamer Base

What You Need

  • 3 cups unsweetened almond milk OR cashew milk OR skim Fairlife milk OR hemp milk (dairy free option)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, coconut cream, or cashew cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon (8 doonks) pure stevia powder (I recommend the THM brand), more or less to taste (or POWDERED equivalent sweetener of choice–How to Powder Sweetener)
  • flavoring(s) or extract(s) of choice, more or less to taste, optional (see below for ideas)

What You Do

  1. Mix together all of the ingredients.
  2. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Expires whenever the cream or milk therein does.

THM Fuel

Each tablespoon of this creamer (when made with unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream) contains about 1.25 grams of fat and negligible carbs (flavoring options listed below are neutral). Therefore, on THM, you can enjoy up to 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) in an E or FP setting and more in an S setting!

Most other ingredient combos are about the same, but always be sure to check your specific ingredients and do the math to figure out specifically how much you can have of your own creamer concoction. All flavorings are typically FP.

Coffee Creamer Flavors

Add one of the following flavor combos (more or less to taste) to one full recipe of the coffee creamer base shared above and in the printable recipe card below. Most of these are inspired by popular Coffee Mate or International Delight creamer flavors (with their permission)! Feel free to freestyle and create your own unique flavor, too (and share about it in the comments below so others can enjoy it as well!).

WARNING #1: Use alcohol or glycerin based liquid flavorings or extracts NOT oil based. Oil based flavorings or extracts do NOT mix with the creamer or the coffee and will not taste very good in it (I have learned this the hard way–let my suffering save you from yours).

WARNING #2: For creamers with cocoa powder or ground spices (cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice), you will need to either mix the ingredients in a blender, with a milk frother, or heat up the milk first then stir in the cocoa powder or ground cinnamon while it’s hot (I prefer to use the other alternatives so there is no heating while making this). This is because neither cocoa powder nor ground cinnamon dissolves well in cold or room temperature liquid.

WARNING #3: Keep an eye out for added sugar in some extracts or flavorings. There are flavorings and extracts without sugar in them, so I would aim for those over the ones with unnecessary sugar (regardless of how miniscule the added sugar might be).

Helpful Notes

NOTE #1–Essential Oils: Some readers have been asking about using ingestable essential oils. Yes, you could use them in this creamer (just add one drop at a time to taste). However, you will need to stir or shake the creamer before using it because the oils will float to the top. Please note, however, that I do NOT recommend ingesting essential oils, especially for purposes like this where it is totally unnecessary.

NOTE #2–Collagen & Protein Powder: A couple of you asked about adding collagen or protein powder to the creamer. Yes, that can be done as well! Just figure about how much you use of this creamer per serving then add that many servings of collagen or protein powder. You will also probably want to either run the creamer through a blender or heat the milk before adding the collagen or protein powder to keep it from clumping.

For example, I use the recommended serving size of 2 tablespoons (you can have up to 4 tablespoons which is 1/4 cup in an FP or E setting and more in an S setting) which makes this recipe yield 32 servings. So I would add 32 scoops of either collagen or protein powder (warning: this might thicken it; I haven’t tried it this way, so I’m not sure). But, I personally find it easier to mix the collagen or protein powder into the coffee before adding the creamer (then you don’t have the added step of heating something up before making your creamer).

NOTE #3–Thickener: A few of you asked about adding a thickener to the creamer to make the consistency a bit thicker. Most of you are satisfied with the cream as added thickness as it make it similar to store-bought creamer. However, a few want it a bit thicker.

To achieve this, you can add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of either gluccomannan or xanthan gum then run the mixture through a blender to evenly distribute it. It may foam up some from these thickeners (and keep in mind I have not tried this because I really don’t care for either and I like the thickness of this recipe as-is; if any of you try adding the thickeners though, please let me know how it works out for you).

NOTE #4–Coconut Oil: Because I have coconut oil as an ingredient in my powdered creamer, some of you have been inquiring about adding coconut oil to this liquid creamer. Since the creamer is liquid, I would recommend you NOT add coconut oil to it. This is because it hardens when refrigerated (and if you use fractioned [liquid] coconut oil, read my MCT note below because, same problem). However, yes, you can totally add some to your hot coffee as you’re making a cup!

NOTE #5–MCT Oil: Along the same lines, I’ve been asked about MCT oil. Again, I wouldn’t necessarily add it to the creamer because then you have to really shake it to get it mixed in and it naturally separates so that makes it difficult to get from the creamer container to your coffee mug (even after shaking well). I would recommend just adding the MCT oil directly to your cup of joe. Some people in the THM community have pointed out that you can buy a coffee syrup pump and put it on in place of the MCT oil bottle’s lid to quickly pump some MCT oil into your coffee!

NOTE #6–Fairlife Milk: I list skim Fairlife milk as one of the milk options. This makes it ever so closer to half and half. You can use 2% or whole Fairlife milk if you’d like, just be aware of the higher fat content to evade a THM XO in an E or FP setting. I would, however, use one of the other milk options if possible unless this is just what makes it or breaks it for you.

Notes

Each tablespoon has about 1.25 grams of fat, so you can enjoy as much as 1/4 cup of creamer in an FP or E setting. In an S setting, more can be enjoyed. As always, be sure to check the nutrient facts for the specific ingredients you use as they can vary somewhat.
Typically, this is just a mix it all together and go recipe (no cooking or blending required)! However, if you use some powdered ingredients (such as cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, or sweeteners that aren’t “powdery” enough), these items have issues mixing in sometimes. So you might need to run the creamer through a blender, beat it up with a milk frother, OR heat up JUST the milk (by itself; put it in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then remove from heat before adding the powdered ingredients then all the other ingredients).

    Very good recipe very simple!! So much better than the junk you buy in the store that has mostly vegetable or canola oil. The only thing I changed was I added more heavy whipping cream it was more like 50-50, heavy whipping cream to almond milk. I just like it a little thicker. Love it will make again. Thanks for the recipe.

    So glad to have found this! I used about half of the full cream and added a small container of Premier Vanilla Protein beverage.to boost the protein. I find it hard to eat first thing in the morning and this is enough to hold me over until 3 hours later, and count it as a FP snack. I am still hoping this keeps it in the FP range as long as I keep my usage under 1/4 cup?

    Reply
    • TJ says

      at

      Hi, Kim. I’m not fully familiar with Premier Vanilla Protein and I’m not sure which is the small one, so I’m not sure if this would still fit as a FP. FP items are 5 grams fat or less and 10 carbs or less, so if it fits numberwise it might work. Although ingredient quality counts too, and I’m not sure Premier Vanilla Protein works since it may be off plan. Have a great day, Kim!

    Hello,

    I was wondering if this creamer would work in ice coffee.

    The reason I ask is because when I use heavy whipping cream and almond milk in ice coffee, I get a weird film in the coffee.

    Thanks!

      Hi, Becki! You can try the French Vanilla flavoring idea I have and see how that compares. And you might try adding a bit more heavy cream (though more cream will increase its caloric density and thus make it heavier on the S side in THM terms).

    I’m curious how many grams of sugar would be in a serving with this?

    Reply
    • TJ says

      at

      Hi, Tiffany. There are 0 added sugars unless something you add has sugar in it (like molasses, and that varies based on what molasses you use). The cream has 0 grams sugar and the almond milk has 0 grams sugar. The sweeteners recommended have 0 grams sugar. So the creamer unflavored by itself is 0 grams sugar. With added ingredients, based on what ingredients are added, typically it will have 0 grams or less than 1 gram sugar (again varies on what is added and the specific brand used, most flavorings/extracts don’t have any sugar).

      When my recipe card auto-calculates nutrition facts, it’ll not list any items (like sugar) that are 0 or <1 gram.

      Hope that helps! Have a great day, Tiffany!

      Hi, Marci. I don’t have one specifically for that yet, but I’ll add it to the list of ideas when I update. 🙂 What you can probably do is just add some mineral salt to the Caramel Macchiato (like around 1/2 teaspoon) and you might need to run it through the blender so the salt mixes in instead of sinking to bottom (but it may sink to bottom anyway, I’m not sure). Or shake it a bit before use. Or add a pinch of salt to the freshly brewed hot coffee (the heat should theoretically dissolve it) then add the Caramel Macchiato homemade creamer. Hope that helps. Have a great day!

    This is my first visit. I like what I see thus far. Please ,will you inform this old lady what S E & RHM & any other abbreviations I need to know the meaning of. I would appreciate that information. I’m not vegan, Paleo or concerned with gluten but Like recipes from all. I’m looking forward to trying some of your coffee creamer recipes. Since starting to really concentrate on eating healthy, more fresh fruits and vegetables, less meat, and giving up sugar for the most part have missed the sweetness of my morning coffee. Is there a Stevia product with no additives? I have used the Stevia my husband buys and likes but continual usage upsets my intestinal tract. The Stevia he purchases has additives and I’m hoping that is the cause of the upset. Thank you first for the website and thank you for any help you have time to give me. Have a pleasant rest of the day.

      Trim Healthy Mama’s Stevia (you can purchase it HERE) does not have preservatives and it’s the one I’d recommend most. If you still have troubles with it, you might have a sensitivity to it and could try other sweeteners such as monk fruit (but for this recipe, you’d need more monk fruit to sweeten it enough).

      Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need clarification or have further questions. Have a great day, Mary!

    Hi, I am anxious to try this recipe when I get back from my travels but right now I am on the road and was actually searching for a recipe for a powdered healthy creamer because I can’t stand Coffee-Mate and other brands. Have you come up with anything powdered? It would be so handy when I travel to have my own powdered creamer that couldn’t spoil to keep in my purse and or motel room.

      Hi, MaryLou. I have not yet. However, there is powdered heavy cream available. Here’s my affiliate link to the one I have used in the past: https://amzn.to/2MUIAp1 It does contain so lecithin, but not in large enough amounts that it should be fine. You can move some to zipper baggies to make it smaller for travel. 🙂 You can also buy powdered vanilla and add some to it (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/2LuZsxQ

      Hope that helps. Have a great day, MaryLou!

    Sorry if I’m missing something or not reading it right but want to know– early in the post it says 3c almond milk to 3/4c cream. And then lower in the post it says 3c to 1c cream. Which one should I use?

    Thank you so much for posting these, my husband is trying to quit his coffee creamer while babystepping his way into THM. I have a question…for the french vanilla, do you just throw the vanilla beans from the pod into the mix? I have never used vanilla beans before. Thank you!

    Reply
    • TJ says

      at

      Yes, you scrape them out from the pod then just throw them in there. 🙂 There are lots of YouTube videos on how to get the beans out. You basically cut a slit in the pod then use the back of your knife to scrape out the beans.

          at

          Yes, you can. Keep in mind fat content if you’re THM’ing and keep in mind that the milk won’t add the bit of thickening that the cream does. 🙂

            Hi. What would you use to mimic coffee mate snickers creamer

          • TJ says

            at

            1 tablespoon caramel extract, 1 tablespoon peanut extract, and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate flavor ought to do it. 🙂 Let me know if that works! You can increase the extracts as well to strengthen the flavor.

    I’m confused by the 1/4 tsp stevia (8 doonks) ingredient – are you really only using 1/4 tsp of sweetner in the entire batch? What is 8 doonks?

    Reply
    • TJ says

      at

      Hi, Nicole. Yes, the THM brand stevia is pretty concentrated so very sweet. You can add more or less to taste. 8 doonks is the same as 1/4 teaspoon. A single “doonk” is 1/32 teaspoon and is a measurement term that the Trim Healthy Mama founders coined. 🙂

    Thank you so much! I’m usually a black coffee drinker, but every now and then I want the coffee shop experience. I love that I can freeze it, because the feeling doesn’t hit that often. I do, however have a request: a coffeeshop where we used to live had a Christmas drink made with eggnog – and my dear husband loves it. Can you help come up with an eggnog flavored creamer, because this would be way healthier than eggnog in his coffee! Thanks.

      Hi, Kim. Sure! I might post it as a Christmas creamer edition too. 🙂 Here’s what you can try: to the base recipe above, add: 2 teaspoons unsulphured blackstrap molasses; 1/2 teaspoon each ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and ground ginger; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; and 1 teaspoon rum extract. Try that and please let me know how you like it! Have a great day, Kim!

    Can’t wait to try this. I have been using plain heavy whipping cream in my coffee. Dr wants me to lower fat in my diet. I am gonna compare fat of heavy cream and then your creamer hoping it is healthier and better for me. Thank you for posting the flavors so at least i can do that with my heavy cream.

      Hi, Traci! I honestly would get a second opinion from another doctor on the fat thing, since that is an old school way of thinking to lower fat in one’s diet. It’s super healthy for the body and for brain function, among many other things. 🙂

    I too am one of those who likes a little coffee with my creamer, lol! My thought was well I’ve tried other things that really didn’t work so give it a go and lol and behold I LOVE IT! I used butter vanilla flavor and next time I’ll try caramel. OMG my new creamer and it doesn’t have all that sugar in it (I used coconut cream instead of heavy cream). Thank you for saving the day!

    I FINALLY got myself off of flavored creamer, but I do miss it sometimes! So glad I came across this! Question: Do I add the flavorings directly in my cup or in a bottle of creamer? That may seem silly to ask, but I’m not sure! Thank you for the neat printable as well! I have it in my binder that I printed from your site some time ago! You are AWESOME!

    I found this an thought wow! But I tried the hazelnut… My favorite, I have used coffee mate for 17yrs. Now I find myself not able to have some of the ingredients. Although this is excellent in calories an fat it just doesn’t have the hazelnut flavor. I didn’t change anything but I was thinking about ordering some hazelnut powder and dissolving it in another batch when I can get it in. Hoping it will be closer to the flavor. I know the richness/creamy won’t be there..

      Hi, Marie. So Hazelnut is my fave too and I make it all the time. I tried a brand OTHER than Watkins and it didn’t taste right. So I’m wondering if maybe it needs to be the Watkins brand? I’m not sure. Hopefully that’s helpful. Did you end up trying the powder? How’d it turn out?

          It does eventually. It’ll last as long as your almond milk or creamer which is typically like a month or so. You can halve the recipe if you don’t think you’ll use the whole one soon enough. 🙂

    And I know the carton of coconut milk- and I know the can of coconut milk.

    Please help this girl out…my mom needs the dairy- free version.

    Thank you

      Hi, Heidi! Coconut really isn’t very high in sugar unless it’s added. It is high in fat though. The coconut cream is the fat from the milk that has been separated. 🙂

        About how many cans of coconut milk do I need to buy to yield enough cream to make this recipe?

          I’m not sure. There’s probably around 1/2 cup or so cream (give or take) in a can I’d say, so probably around 6 cans total. They do sell cans with just cream in them as well.

      Oh, and what kind and brand of molasses? A friend is here visiting and watched me respond and said that she finds any kind of molasses bitter. If that’s the case (like you’re one of the people who finds molasses bitter), you should be able to return the bottle of molasses.
