Why make homemade coffee creamer with coconut milk?
Not only does coconut milk creamer add a touch of nutty flavor, but it is a way to create a diary free coffee creamer. This Vegan Coffee Creamer is thick and indulgent thanks to coconut milk. The cinnamon and vanilla add natural flavor that will perk up your cup of coffee.
How To Make Homemade Creamer?
Step 1: Chooseyour base, in this case it is coconut milk. But you can use almond milk, oat milk, cream or milk.
Step 2: Add the flavors and sweetness. This recipe uses maple syrup to sweeten which is why it is Paleo and Vegan. But you can also use honey oromit the maple syrup to create a Whole 30 friendly coffee creamer.
Step 3: Heat ingredients on the stovetop until they begin to steam. Then let cool, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Depending on the consistency of your coconut milk it may thicken in the refrigerator. I store my creamer in a lidded glass jar so I can shake it up before use if necessary.

How many ounces of coconut milk do you use? 2 typical cans would be 28 ounces and that just seems like a lot

I store mine for about a week. Just be warned that the full fat coconut milk with solidify a bit in the fridge. I either take it out 10 minutes before I need it or run the jar under warm water to melt it a little. Then just shake 🙂
For a quick thickening, you'll simply add two tablespoons of cornstarch for every cup of liquid that you have in your creamer. You may feel tempted to use flour in place of cornstarch, but that can lead to your creamer having an odd flour taste.
Paleo-Friendly Creamers: 🍶☕ Transform your coffee with paleo-friendly creamers made from nut milks or coconut cream. These creamers add a smooth, rich texture to your coffee, making it a delightful, dairy-free experience. They can also be flavored with natural sweeteners like honey or vanilla for an extra treat.
“Elmhurst's non-dairy creamers are some of the healthiest creamer options available,” Martin says. That's because they are typically made from simple, natural ingredients without additives or artificial flavors. Also, the emphasis on whole-food ingredients contributes to their reputation as a healthier creamer option.
The brand's line of plant-based creamers—in almond, coconut, and oat—provide an easy swap. Flavors mimic the dairy-based versions with simple varieties like vanilla and sweet crème to more indulgent options such as Brown Sugar Oat and pumpkin spice.
Cost-Effective: Homemade coffee creamer can save you a pretty penny in the long run. Plus, many homemade creamer recipes use ingredients you likely already have on hand, making it budget-friendly.
The only way almond milk thick like heavy cream would be to use a thickener. If you don't want to use heat and cornstarch, rice flower or arrowroot you can use xanthan gum (zan than gum).
Mix one part hot water with one part powdered non-dairy creaner, stir thoroughly.Add your choice of flavor extract (be creative).Add one part cold water.Store in refrigerator.
Traditional coffee creamer is made with milk and cream. Dairy is a no-go when following the paleo meal plan, which is where this coconut milk creamer comes in handy. Sweetened with dates and vanilla, it's a delicious, easy, and rich dairy substitute that will jumpstart your day.
“Other alternatives include almond milk creamer, coconut milk, and coconut creamer, which are not usually fortified and not as nutritionally rich.” If you like sweeteners or sugar in your coffee, go for honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup, or stevia. A sprinkle of cinnamon in your coffee tastes great, too!
Coconut milk is a perfect vegan heavy cream alternative, but it's also perfect for people who adhere to paleo, gluten-free, or keto diets. Coconut milk has the same thick consistency of heavy cream, but without the dairy. For the best results, make sure to use full-fat coconut milk and shake the can before opening it.
Coconut sugar, raw honey, maple syrup, and date sugar all make perfect 1-for-1 substitutes for your usual refined sugar. If you tend to prefer the sweet n' low thing, try using liquid stevia (which comes plain or in multiple flavor options) to make your coffee a little easier to sip.
