To make Cinnabon-style coffee creamer at home, start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half, 2.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and cream. Whisk in the brown sugar and heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s steaming but not boiling. This ensures the sugar dissolves completely.
Next, remove the saucepan from the heat. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and smooth.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature or use it immediately in your coffee. For storage, pour the cooled creamer into a tall jar, cover, and keep it in the fridge for up to five days. Remember to shake well before each use.
This homemade cinnamon roll coffee creamer is a quick and easy way to add a delicious twist to your morning coffee. Enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of cinnamon and vanilla in every sip!
