Caramel Coffee Creamer

This naturally sweetened Caramel Coffee Creamer will turn your coffee into a sweet rich caramel treat!

When I was a teacher I would come home too tired to want to cook anything but quick and easy meals. So making a condiment like this Caramel Coffee Creamer would have been out of the question.

These days I make my own salad dressings, Gluten Free BBQ Sauce, hummus, and even Raspberry Chipotle Ketchup.

When I realized how quick and easy making your own condiments are, I was all over it. I love that I can control what goes in my food, so taking a few minutes out of my day to make my own was a no-brainer.

Not only do I ensure that they are vegan and gluten free, but I don't have any weird ingredients in my food that I can't pronounce.

Naturally Sweetened With Dates

I don't remember the last time that I bought vegan coffee creamer. It's probably been at least ten years. Even though I love store-bought vegan coffee creamers, I don't love all the sugar that comes with them.

Normally I put unsweetened almond milk and stevia in my coffee, but sometimes I want something sweeter. Not only did I add this homemade coffee creamer to my coffee, but in my morning smoothie as well.

I happened to have a couple of batches of Caramel Creamer from recipe testing that I didn't want to go to waste.

I like to keep my sugar consumption to a minimum. Instead of sugar, I used a healthy alternative - dates. Even though dates contain sugar, they also contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Since they are so sweet, a little goes a long way.

I've been asked several times where I got the little glass pitcher in the photos. I found it at a thrift store. It's fun when you find something cool at a thrift store, isn't it!

I looked on Amazon for something similar for all of you. While I couldn't find one like mine, I did find this cute double sided pitcher.

Notes

I don't know about you, but whenever I open a can of coconut milk, it goes bad pretty quickly, like within a few days. Many places on the internet state that you can keep an opened can of coconut milk for a week to ten days. I have never found that to be true. So if you don't think that you can use this creamer within a few days, I would make ½ the batch. I used mine up quickly, so I don't know if it could go past the several day mark.
