Homemade Gingerbread Coffee Creamer Recipe
This Homemade Gingerbread Coffee Creamer Recipe is not only simple but AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Spice up your coffee this holiday season!
Oh, my heavens! There used to be a store-bought gingerbread coffee creamer that was “delightful,” but they quit making it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. When you want something bad enough, you learn how to make it yourself! This Homemade Gingerbread Coffee Creamer is way better than the store-bought stuff, let me tell you!
Ingredients
You only need a couple of ingredients, and this will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge. My kids love adding some to their hot cocoa too for an extra holiday zing.
- half-and-half
- unsulphured molasses
- ground ginger
- cinnamon
- ground cloves
- ground nutmeg
- vanilla extract
How to Make
In a saucepan, whisk together half-and-half, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Heat over low heat until simmering and add in vanilla bean or extract. Allow it to cool and store in a mason jar or other air tight container in the fridge.
Uses
Don’t feel like you are limited to adding this to only beverages. Mix it in your favorite recipes for some added gingerbread flavor! You can just store this in a mason jar in your fridge until you are ready to use it.
This is perfect in these Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites! Snag the recipe!
Vegan
Bonus!!! Since you are making this creamer at home, you can make it vegan with one simple tweak! Replace the half and half with coconut or almond milk. Problem solved, and it is just as amazing!

This is the best creamer I have ever made. Thanks for sharing 🙂
A few years ago on a whim, I added gingerbread creamer to my bowl of oatmeal. Wow! I called it my B&B oatmeal. The next year when the holiday flavors came out I went looking for the gingerbread creamer for my oatmeal . . . no gingerbread creamer! I was so bummed.😢
I started making this gingerbread creamer and didn’t have molasses, so I used Coconut milk condensed milk. approx 1/4 – 1/2 c to taste. Worked good!!
