Ingredients and substitutions
- Powdered milk – I use full-fat powdered milk but you can also opt for a lighter powder or plant-based powdered milks.
- Vanilla – A fresh or leftover vanilla bean works best for a rich flavor but you can use vanilla powder or vanilla sugar for an instant flavored coffee creamer without the wait. Scraping the seeds into the creamer creates a much more intense vanilla flavor than using a leftover bean but both options work well.
- Salt – I use pink Himalayan salt but any salt will do here to enhance the flavors.
- Cinnamon (optional) – I love to use some ground cinnamon to add extra warm flavors but that’s totally optional. Alternatively you can add a cinnamon stick alongside the vanilla bean to flavor the milk powder.
- Sweetener (optional) – I prefer unsweetened coffee but you can add 1/4 cup powdered sugar to create a sweetened coffee creamer.
