Why We Love Making Homemade Creamer
Not only is it affordable, but this homemade coffee creamer will save you time and money. The savings will add up and it tastes amazing because it is made with simple ingredients.

Variations Ideas
- Vanilla Powder – For a delicious vanilla flavor add in 1 tbsp vanilla powder to the cream mix. Add in a teaspoon of liquid vanilla extract for even more vanilla flavor.
- Cocoa Powder – Make your coffee have a chocolate and peppermint flavor and add in ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and peppermint extract. This would be the perfect mocha drink for the holidays. Serve with a candy cane for a festive look.
- Spices – This creamer is customizable so I like to add in ½ teaspoon of spices to my coffee. We suggest the flavor ideas cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice and any spice that you prefer.
- Sweetener Variations – Feel free to substitute the sweetened with coconut sugar, white sugar, stevia packets or a sweetened that meets your diet restrictions. You can just sweetened you coffee individually by adding in maple sugar, brown sugar or honey.
How to Make Powdered Coffee Creamer
- Step 1 – First, mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Step 2 – Next, slowly drizzle the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredient mixture.
- Step 3 – I used a mason jar and just had to put the lid on the jar and shook everything together like crazy. (by the way Amazon has some super cute mason jars on sale right now)
- Step 4 – Finally, I then took a butter knife and broke up any bigger pieces and lumps, then shook again. You can also use a food processor if you prefer.
Recipe Tips
- Coconut Oil – Before adding the coconut oil, make sure it has melted. Since it has been pretty warm in my house, I did not have to melt my coconut oil, it was already quite ‘liquidy’.
- Combining Ingredients – The heavier coconut oil tends to settle, so I suggest making this in a container that can be tightly sealed so you can mix it a bit before you use it.
- Gift Idea – Add a pretty ribbon and you have yourself a FRUGAL and thoughtful gift idea for your friends, teachers, or family. Everyone loves creamer and it is a nice and practical gift.
- Fresh Ingredients – Make sure when making this creamer, make sure that the ingredients have not expired. This helps to keep this creamer fresh for at least 6 months.
Why do I add Coconut Oil?
If you like regular, non-flavored coffee creamer, I am confident you will like this base recipe. It adds a nice creamy texture to your coffee that the store bought creamers add.
The coconut oil adds that extra bit of creaminess that you will find in store bought creamers. I tried making this creamer without the coconut oil, and it just wasn’t the same. It is kind of hard to explain, but try your creamer in your coffee before adding the coconut oil and you will see what I mean.
Frequently Asked Questions
Store bought creamer is loaded with flavorings and ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Making homemade allows you to adjust the ingredients depending the type of flavor that you want and if you want it sweeter.
Store at room temperature and a large jar or airtight container. This creamer will last you about 6 months.
This is a personal preference but I usually start off with about 1-2 tablespoons and then blend.

- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)

Can’t wait to try this! Can I leave out half the powdered sugar? If so, should I adjust the amount of oil? Thanks!!
If you half the entire recipe, then I would use half the amount of oil as well. If you just want it a bit less sweeter than you can reduce the powdered sugar and use the same amount of oil and powdered milk. Let me know how it turns out and thank you for the positive review.
Do you use refined or unrefined coconut oil?
I used refined coconut oil for this recipe but either will work great!
I’m probably missing it somewhere, but I can see how much to put in each coffee cup?
It is completely up to you. I would start with a teaspoon and go from there.
Going to try this even though powder milk here in Canada is $15 a kg or more powder sugar is $5 a bag and coconut oil is over $25 a kg jar…this recipe has no chemicals additives etc
I hope you enjoy it!
Would it work to substitute Splenda for the powdered sugar?
I haven’t tested that yet, but I think it will work and be delicious!
Hi Carrie-
I just made your 3 ingredient powdered coffee creamer and had a cup of coffee and it is exactly what I have been looking for! You definitely earned a huge WOO HOO!
Is there another oil that would work as well? I am terribly allergic to Coconut and Palm. I cannot buy dry creamers and really hoping to find a way to make my own. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I think you can just leave it out and it will still taste great. Thanks
So glad if found this! I was going through jars of creamer. Made it even more budget friendly with Winco’s bulk bins. Got a question tho’. How do I liquefy this for cold coffee? Or would the coconut oil clump up in the cold ldrink.
Absolutely amazing! This coffee creamer was so quick and simple to make and tasted fantastic! Having health issues I try to stay simple but tasty and organic! I used monk fruit sweetener whipping it (in my bullet) for seconds and watched it turn into powder sugar! Added the rest of the ingredients.. sifted it through to get the small lumps out.. and WOW not only was my family impressed for the flavor… But how quick and easy it was to make it! Stay healthy my friends!!
Made three jars of this, vanilla, mint chocolate and chocolate- absolutely perfect recipe!!
Sooooooooooo good and soooo easy! I mixed this using my food processor . . . added a 1/4 cup of Powdered Whipping Cream and a whole vanilla bean (filleted and scraped). Triple the ingredients if you multiply the recipe x3. Although, I didn’t multiply the vanilla bean because I think the one was enough. We, my family and I, love it! Thank you for the recipe!
I’m so glad you loved it!

Easy peasy Had a selection of sweeteners so tried a flavor variant
MOUNDS CREAMER!
I cup powder milk
1/2 cup coconut sugar (1:1 replacement, looks like brown sugar)
1TBSP coconut oil
2 tsp of imitation vanilla
I love coffee and can’t wait to try this recipe. What is the size of mason jar you used?
Thanks for sharing this with us!
I use stevia and low-fat milk for my coffee. I would really like to use your idea, but don’t want to add the sugar. Any ideas on how to make your powdered creamer using stevia?
I haven’t tried it yet but you should be able to use stevia instead of the sugar in this recipe. Stevia is a lot o sweetened though so you would need as much. I would start with 1 to 1 1/2 tsp and then taste test it and add more if needed from there. I hope you enjoy it!
I love the Dunkin extra extra in the refrigerator section of creamers. But when it’s not available I can’t wait to try your recipe!
Thanks Glenda!
