5-Minute Homemade Cinnamon Coffee Creamer: An Easy Recipe

It’s easy to make homemade cinnamon coffee creamer, but finding a great recipe can be challenging.

That’s why I went ahead and made my own homemade cinnamon coffee creamer with real ingredients.

In this article, you’ll find a great-tasting recipe for cinnamon coffee creamer that you can make in just five minutes!

What is cinnamon coffee creamer?

Coffee creamer is not limited to dairy-based creamers, but can also come in various flavors, such as vanilla and pumpkin spice.

Cinnamon coffee creamer is made using sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and ground cinnamon.

It tastes slightly spicy, with enough sweetness to complement your favorite coffee.

I drink coffee mostly black without any additions because I enjoy the taste.

However, for those who prefer a little extra flavor variety, cinnamon coffee creamer is worth considering!

What ingredients are needed for a cinnamon coffee creamer?

I wanted this homemade cinnamon coffee creamer to be simple, so you can spend more time enjoying your day.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Sweetened condensed milk
• Whole milk
• Ground cinnamon

Using whole milk in this recipe will give it its full flavor, but you can also use lower-fat milk as an alternative.

You can also incorporate dairy-free milk into this recipe to change up the flavor and make it taste however you prefer.

Since the condensed milk is already sweet, you won’t need to add sugar to the coffee creamer, which saves time.

Which cinnamon is best used?

Since the main flavor of this coffee creamer is cinnamon, it’s crucial to use a high-quality one.

There are many kinds of cinnamon, but the best options are Ceylon or Cassia for their bold flavor.

For this recipe, it’s best to use ground cinnamon, as it mixes easily with the rest of the ingredients, allowing you to make this coffee creamer in just a few minutes.

If you only have cinnamon sticks and would like to use them instead, it’s best to let them steep with condensed milk and whole milk.

Have a look below at how to do so:

1. Add two cinnamon sticks, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk to a small saucepan.
2. Heat the mixture until it’s hot but not boiling, and lower the heat.
3. Let the cinnamon steep for five minutes. After that, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.
4. Then, remove the cinnamon sticks from the coffee creamer and store it in the fridge.

Now that you know how to make it at home, read on to discover which coffees pair well with this coffee creamer:

Which coffees go well with this cinnamon coffee creamer?

Once you’ve made this coffee creamer, you can use it with any type of coffee you prefer.

You might want to try a dark roast coffee. Dark roasts offer a fuller flavor and sometimes even chocolate undertones.

They can be too strong for some people, though; “light” roasts are a better option if that’s an issue.

Full-bodied coffees, such as heavy or espresso roasts, without any Robusta or other additives, also pair well with this cinnamon creamer.

You could also try using a medium roast, which offers a great in-between flavor between the dark and light roasts.

Depending on your flavor preference, you can use a French press, Chemex, or Hario V60 for your daily coffee.

Here’s how to make the cinnamon coffee creamer:

Cinnamon coffee creamer calories

This coffee creamer has a total of 74 calories per serving. A serving is two tablespoons, which is the perfect amount to sweeten a cup of coffee.

It’ll create a not-too-sweet coffee that is delicious and slightly spicy from the cinnamon; it’s a delightful treat.

Depending on your preferred sweetness level, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

I suggest trying a bit in your coffee before adding a ton to make sure you’re not making your coffee too sweet for your taste.
