This easy, homemade cinnamon coffee creamer will bring the coffee shop taste to your morning cup of coffee.
Cinnamon coffee creamer is one of my new favorite things. Since I work night shift, coffee and coffee cream are practically accessories.
This homemade coffee creamer is such an easy way to make your morning (or night) coffee routine a little more special. I rotate this creamer with Butterscotch Coffee Creamer and Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer (yes, I drink that much coffee).

Ingredients
Before you head to the recipe card for exact measurements, here’s a quick look at what you’ll be using.
- Ground Cinnamon - This is the ingredient that adds the unmistakable cinnamon flavor.
- Heavy Cream - Heavy cream gives this coffee creamer a rich, luscious, smoothness that is better than the store bought creamers.
- Milk - Slightly thins out the heavy cream, making it easier to pour.
- Brown Sugar - Brown sugar adds a deeper sweetness to the creamer recipe than granulated sugar. This perfectly complements the cinnamon.
- Vanilla Extract - Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the cinnamon and provides a subtle sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the heavy cream, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Step 2
Whisk the ingredients together continuously until heated just to a simmer, with the brown sugar dissolved and the cinnamon fully incorporated. Do not boil.
Step 3
Remove from heat and enjoy immediately or let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
