This homemade cinnamon roll coffee creamer combines brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and buttery flavor in a creamy half-and-half base. Made with just five simple ingredients, it’s a quick from-scratch alternative to store-bought flavored creamer.
Add the half-and-half and brown sugar to a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring frequently, until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to simmer.
Stir in the cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a very gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to help distribute the cinnamon evenly throughout the creamer.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and butter extract until well combined.
Allow the cinnamon roll coffee creamer to cool, then transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate.
Notes
Ground cinnamon does not completely dissolve in the creamer and may settle during storage. Shake or stir well before each use.
Taste the creamer in a cup of coffee before adjusting the sweetness, since coffee affects how sweet the creamer tastes.
Store the cinnamon roll coffee creamer in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator, using the freshness date of the half-and-half as a guide.
