Homemade Powdered Coffee Creamer, Unflavored

Happy Friday! 

My cousin, Pam, in Louisiana had this posted on her FB page, so I thought I'd pass it along!


Now, back to our regularly scheduled post...   :D


I've been wanting a good recipe for a powdered coffee creamer, like the original Coffee Mate.  I went to Pinterest and searched, but all I found were for liquid coffee creamers.


So, I googled "powdered coffee creamers" Wednesday and didn't really see much.  There was one that caught my eye, though, but I can't find it again.  I've tweaked the recipe a bit, so if you still recognize it (not difficult), let me know and I'll gladly give you all the credit!

Here's my version...

Homemade Powdered Coffee Creamer Recipe, Unflavored

2 cups powdered milk
1/4 cup + 1 heaping Tablespoon powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons melted Coconut oil



Powdered milk, solid coconut oil (melt before using), powdered sugar
 

Mix powdered mik together with the powdered sugar. The original recipe called for 1/4 cup powdered sugar only, but my coffee just didn't taste right.  There was a nasty bitter aftertaste, so I added another heaping tablespoonful of the powdered sugar.
 

This is the size spoon I used, a cereal spoon. Left over oil can be put back into the original container.
 

Blend the 3 ingredients together with a fork, breaking up any oil lumps.
 

I didn't like the consistency of this "powdered" (more like nuggets) coffee creamer, so I put everything into the blender.  Guess you wouldn't need to stir with a fork, if you used this method.
 

This looked more like Coffee Mate, or any of the other creamers.
 

See?
  
I reused the empty coffee creamer container for my new concoction.  I temporarily taped a wide-mouthed canning funnel to the container opening, so I wouldn't spill the powder as I poured it in and snapped this shot. 


Mighty fine for homemade, if I do say so myself!
 I used 2 teaspoons of the mix in my coffee.  My normal coffee mug is not this dainty little white dealie.  I have a HUGE coffee mug that holds maybe 3 of the these!  I don't care if it gets cold, 'cause I like it cold, too! ;D

If you try this recipe, let me know what you think!

I'm sharing this with Jessa's A Holiday Haven Christmas Party.




Take care and God Bless!

This song, Snoopy vs. the Red Baron (Snoopy's Christmas) 
came out when I was in Junior High School and is still one of my favorites!  Love the Guardsmen, the group who sings it.
