If you're looking to elevate your morning ritual, this Cinnamon Maple Coffee Creamer is just the thing. It's a cozy blend of fall flavors that adds warmth and a touch of sweetness to your coffee. Plus, it's so simple to make, you'll wonder why you ever settled for store-bought.
Half-and-half is the creamy base that makes this creamer rich and smooth without being overly heavy. Using pure maple syrup adds a natural sweetness and a subtle maple flavor that pairs beautifully with coffee. Cinnamon brings a warm, spicy note that complements the maple. Vanilla extract enhances the flavors, adding a sweet, aromatic touch. Finally, a hint of nutmeg rounds out the spice profile with its earthy, nutty quality.
This creamer pairs wonderfully with a strong, dark roast coffee, bringing out the coffee’s deeper notes. It's also delightful in cold brew, adding a sweet and spicy twist. For a real treat, try it in a chai latte or hot chocolate for a warming, spiced variation.
Start by grabbing a small saucepan and combine the half-and-half and maple syrup in it. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. You want to warm this mixture gently, so keep stirring occasionally until you see little wisps of steam rising, about five minutes. Once it’s steaming, take it off the heat to avoid curdling.
Next, whisk in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. It’s important to whisk well to ensure the spices dissolve and distribute evenly throughout the creamer. Let the mixture cool slightly before you transfer it to a glass jar or bottle. This will make it easier to handle and help the flavors meld together beautifully.
