Forget ever having to buy coffee creamer again! This 3-Ingredient Coconut Vanilla Coffee Creamer comes together in minutes to create a rich, luxurious, dairy-free coffee creamer.
Whether you use this Homemade Coffee Creamer to make a Homemade Latte, or just to flavor your coffee, this simple dairy-free coffee creamer will save you money and will make drinking your morning cup of coffee that much more enjoyable.
Like many of you, my morning does not go well without a cup of coffee. While I don't like my coffee black, I am not a fan of store-bought creamers for many reasons. They are often loaded with added preservatives, sugar, stabilizers, carrageenan, and even trans fat.
And if you need a dairy-free creamer, your options are limited and they are often pricey!
Skip the store-bought creamer, and with just 3 ingredients and a quick shake, you can quickly make a dairy-free creamer that is rich, velvety, and full of vanilla and coconut flavors with a note of maple in the background. It is the perfect way to indulge without indulging at all.
Notes on Ingredients
Because this homemade coffee creamer is made with only 3 ingredients, you want to choose them wisely for the best results.
- Coconut Milk: Be sure to use canned coconut milk, not coconut cream for this vegan coffee creamer. My favorite is Trader Joe's Coconut Milk, it is thicker than most light brands but does not separate as much as full-fat coconut milk. However, you can use any brand of light coconut milk or full-fat coconut milk you like.
- Maple Syrup: Be sure to use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, as the flavor will not be as rich or pure.
- Vanilla Extract: The vanilla extract is optional, but adds a nice warming note to the creamer.
- Optional Additions: Feel free to add up to a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or ½ teaspoon of grated nutmeg for additional flavoring if desired.
How To Prepare & Use Homemade Coffee Creamer
- Combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a jar with a tight-fitting lid or a blender. Shake or blend well until the ingredients are well emulsified.
- Store this homemade creamer in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 14 days.
- Shake well before each use.
not dairy-free?
If you are not dairy-free, feel free to use half and half in place of the coconut milk to make a simple Homemade Vanilla Coffee Creamer.

I put all the ingredients in my blender and added 2 c almond milk, doubled the vanilla and syrup, and 1/2 c collagen to keep it creamy. I've been searching for a new sweet creamer without sugar or sugar substitutes. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome! I appreciate you sharing your review.
Game changer! At home on my day off 30 mins away from the store and found this recipe. It is soooo good! Love it1
Love hearing this! And thank you for taking the time to share a review and comment 🙂
I was wondering. I have not made this yet.
Is it creamy? Thicker than milk creamy?
I am looking for a creamy rich coffee creamer. The only one that even met that challenge was oatly's full fat oat milk.
Froth that up and it's just delicious.
Trying to cut down in carbs.
I decided maybe the only way is to make a creamer myself.
Hi Denise! The coconut milk will make this creamer super rich and creamy. If desired, you can use oatly oat milk and sweeten using this recipe.
Add non flavored collagen. Maybe start with 1/4 c.
Can I use canned coconut cream? I'm snowed in and only have refrigerated coconut milk and the canned coconut cream.
Hi Margie! I would actually recommend using the refrigerated coconut milk over the coconut cream. The cream will be much too thick.
Delicious! I'm not a huge fan of maple syrup, afar are your thoughts on replacing that with honey? Thank you so much for sharing!!
You absolutely can use honey. Enjoy!
I added way too much vanilla extract and syrup and ended up making a vegan White Russian mixer. Honestly, delicious with some extra vodka!
Great recovery!
