Brown Sugar Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Creamer
This homemade brown sugar cinnamon vanilla coffee creamer is rich, creamy, and tastes a little like a cinnamon roll! Made with heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, and warm cinnamon, it's an easy 10-minute recipe for hot or iced coffee. Add optional butter extract for a more Cinnabon-inspired flavor.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half for extra creaminess
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon butter extract optional
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Heat the Base
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir constantly until warm (3–5 minutes). Don’t let it boil!
Add Flavor
- Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, butter extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Cool & Store
- Let the creamer cool slightly, then pour it into a clean jar or bottle with a lid. Refrigerate promptly and shake well before using, as the ground cinnamon may settle at the bottom.
Recipe Notes
- Sweetness: Taste after the brown sugar has dissolved. You can adjust the sweetness to your preference.
- Butter extract: Optional, but it adds a buttery cinnamon roll flavor. A little goes a long way.
- Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon may settle during storage. Shake the jar before each use.
- Storage: Refrigerate promptly in a clean, airtight container. For best quality, use within 3–4 days.
