I’m an avid coffee drinker. It’s not a secret. I’ve written many posts on the health benefits and controversies of coffee and have a podcast episode on my favorite mushroom coffee. And I have lots (and I do mean LOTS!) of recipes for my favorite coffee drinks, teas, and hot chocolates (check out the list near the bottom). So when I realized I could easily make my own festive peppermint coffee creamer, I was thrilled!

Dairy-Free Peppermint Coffee Creamer

Store-bought coffee creamer comes in so many fun flavors that it’s kind of a bummer they’re so full of ingredients I try to avoid. Ingredients like carrageenan, high-fructose corn syrup, and hydrogenated oils.

Enter a much healthier homemade coffee creamer that’s simple and easy to make (and even more delicious)…

What makes this coffee creamer paleo? Its coconut milk base. I like to use coconut milk for this because it’s thick and creamy and I like to add healthy fats to my coffee anyway. If you’d rather use a nut milk, feel free.

I add a little peppermint extract and maple syrup for sweetness. Both of those can be adjusted to suit your tastes. In fact, if you want to try a different flavor, it would be really simple to swap out the peppermint for another extract.

Ways to Use Your Coffee Creamer (of Any Flavor!)

The most obvious is, of course, to stir it into a fresh cup of coffee. However, there are a lot of other tasty options as well. I like to use it in leftover chilled coffee or cold brew coffee. It’s also great in tea if you’re more of a tea drinker.

My kids love it added to hot chocolate or just cold milk for a festive treat. It can also be added to homemade vanilla ice cream to make a shake.

A batch of this healthy creamer made with vanilla extract instead of peppermint would be great drizzled over hot Instant Pot steel-cut oats for breakfast. I bet this recipe for gingerbread creamer would be delicious that way too!

      Any milk or nut milk should work
