Maple Sea Salt Vanilla Coffee Creamer
It’s SO easy to make your own coffee creamer. This recipe is for a maple + sea salt + vanilla version and its absolutely dreamy.
This is the kind of coffee creamer that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. I’ve been playing with the ratio of flavorings to get this version just right and I’m ready to share it with you. But, coffee is one of those very personal things so I have some notes for you depending on your preferences. There are a lot of ways you can sweeten homemade creamer–agave nectar, simple syrup, sweetened condensed milk (another fave) BUT maple syrup is by far my favorite. And when you add sea salt and vanilla? Gah its so stinkin’ good. I am a huge fan of sea salt on pretty much everything so if you’re with me, lets go!
Ingredient notes
The recipe name pretty much tells you all the ingredients! lol That’s another great thing about this creamer. It’s pure and made with a few simple ingredients rather than a bunch of chemical additives and who knows whats.
You will just need: maple syrup, vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste), maple syrup, sea salt and half & half! If you want to make your own half & half, you can simply combine equal parts whole milk and heavy cream. That’s what store-bought half & half is!
Make it
Combine all the ingredients in a jar or bottle and shake!
Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or you can go by the expiration date on your half and half if it will be sooner than that.

Notes
Sea salt – for less salty vibes, start with 1 tsp of sea salt and work up by the 1/4 tsp
Maple syrup – you can of course, up or lower the sweetness level too. I found the 1/2 cup was the perfect balance for me. You can also swap in agave syrup as well.
Half & half – I think half & half offers the perfect balance of creaminess without being too thick. If you need to make your own, just combine equal parts whole milk and heavy cream in a jar or bottle and shake well.
Storage – Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or go by the expiration date on your half and half it it’ll be up in less than two weeks.
