Homemade powdered coffee creamer is great for so many reasons. It's shelf stable, so it's good to have around if you don't use it very often or to have on hand in case you run out of your refrigerated creamer.

Because it uses only dry ingredients, homemade powdered coffee creamer is a great gift idea. Just mix and put in a jar or pretty container with some ribbon and a gift tag.

Every powdered coffee creamer that I found online used nonfat dry milk or other ingredients that I didn't agree with. I wanted something more natural that I could feel good about putting in my coffee each morning or giving as a gift.

What I Used Instead:

• Whole Milk Powder – I used whole milk powder in place of nonfat dry milk. Just make sure you find a brand with no added ingredients. I found this whole milk powder. The only ingredient is whole milk.
• Organic Powdered Sugar – I used organic instead of regular powdered sugar. (get it here) You could also use whole cane sugar or coconut sugar, but they may not stay mixed as easily or dissolve as quickly.
• Coconut Oil – If you want your coffee creamer to have a creamier taste, you can use the coconut oil. It's not a requirement though.

Natural Powdered Coffee Creamer Recipe

You should know that this coffee creamer will taste differently depending on how you like your coffee. If you prefer that your creamer is less sweet, just use less sugar in your recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk powder (get it here)
• 1 cup organic powdered sugar (get it here)
• 3 teaspoons of coconut oil, melted (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the whole milk powder and powdered sugar in a medium bowl and combine well.
2. Drizzle the coconut oil over the dry ingredients while mixing. Mix until it is well incorporated and the mixture is not lumpy. You may want to use your hands to cut in the oil.

How to Store Your Natural Powdered Coffee Creamer

If you already have a mason jar on hand, you could store your powdered coffee creamer in this and use a teaspoon to put it in your coffee each morning.

Mason jars also make great vessels for giving gifts.

You could put your homemade creamer in the mason jar, add a custom label or a gift tag, some ribbon, etc., and you have a very practical last-minute gift for any coffee lovers on your list.

Want to make it a bit fancier and with the ease of use of store-bought creamers?

Try using a sugar dispenser, which would work equally as good for dispensing homemade coffee creamer!
