Hey there, coffee lover! Imagine starting your day with the perfect cup of coffee – creamy, nutty, and just the right touch of sweetness.
That’s exactly what this Peanut Butter Coffee Creamer is all about. It’s so easy to make, with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
Plus, it’s free of the artificial junk you find in store-bought creamers.
Whether you’re a busy parent chasing after kids or just someone who craves a cozy cup of coffee, this recipe will make mornings feel a little more special.
I first tried this creamer when I was experimenting with peanut butter recipes for my kids.
It was a hit in my coffee, and yes, I may have caught my husband sneaking spoonfuls of it straight from the jar! Trust me, you’re going to love it.
What You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to whip up this dreamy creamer:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk (any kind – dairy or non-dairy works)
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy works best)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Pro Tips
- Go creamy for the peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter blends much better than chunky, and it keeps your creamer nice and smooth.
- Warm it up: If your peanut butter feels stiff, pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to mix.
- Adjust sweetness: You can add more or less maple syrup depending on how sweet you like your coffee.
- Dairy-free? No problem! Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a non-dairy version.
- Storage matters: Keep your creamer in a sealed jar in the fridge, and give it a quick shake before using since it might separate a bit.
Tools You’ll Need
- A small saucepan
- A whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A mason jar or any sealed container for storing
Substitutions & Variations
- Peanut butter: Swap it for almond butter or even Nutella for a chocolate-hazelnut twist.
- Milk options: Go wild with almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk.
- Sweetener: Honey, agave, or even a bit of sugar works great.
- Add-ins: A pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder could take this creamer to the next level.
Make-Ahead Tips
You can easily make this creamer up to 5 days in advance. Just store it in the fridge, and shake it well before each use.
