Organic Valley offers delectable flavored coffee creamers made with healthy ingredients and boast 40% less sugar than leading store brands, but making homemade versions can be just as simple – and much healthier! This article will teach you how to craft different tasty organic creamer flavors ranging from pumpkin spice to French vanilla to make your morning brew even more customized with these smart DIY solutions!

Standard creamers boast almost limitless varieties and indistinguishable brands, yet contain unhealthy additives including high-sugar syrups, unhealthy fats, and questionable chemicals that could contribute to heart disease, diabetes and obesity. If you’re willing to sacrifice convenience for health purposes and taste, DIY alternatives offer an easy solution with both budget- and health-minded options for creamer.

As your first step, create your dairy base. This requires half-and-half, heavy cream and vanilla extract – ingredients you can find in the refrigerated section of any grocery store near other milks or premade coffee creamers.

Add your choice of sweetener to the mix – natural ones such as maple syrup, honey and true Stevia leaf extract are excellent natural sweeteners that offer flavor without the harmful side-effects associated with processed granulated sugars. They also boast extra health benefits like antibacterial properties and antioxidant protection.

Finally, whisk in some vanilla extract. Any type of vanilla extract will do, though whole vanilla beans offer the most authentic taste if cut lengthwise and scooped of their seeds before adding to your coffee creamer. Otherwise a teaspoon of vanilla extract works just as well.

Once your creamer has been infused with the desired flavor, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before transferring to a glass jar and keeping in the fridge. Your homemade coffee creamer should keep for two weeks when properly stored.

This recipe is great because it can easily accommodate any diet or food allergy. Lactose-Free: Just substitute half and half for your preferred lactose-free dairy alternative like oat milk or full-fat coconut milk. Dairy-Free and Vegan: For a creamy dairy-free coffee creamer alternative use both of these alternatives instead of half and half and heavy cream!
