If you are a regular reader, then you know that I love coffee. My kids know not to try to talk to me until I've had at least half of a cup. Actually, I'm not sure that I can form sentences before I drink at least that much.
I like cream in my coffee, and I usually get flavored creamers. I try to buy clean versions of creamer. I could use half and half or heavy whipping cream because they have fewer carbs than other types of milk, but I like having a flavored coffee. My current favorite is white chocolate mocha.
There are few things worse than running out of creamer. I try to keep a powdered creamer on the shelf so that doesn't happen. But powdered creamer is made of partially hydrogenated solids, corn syrup solids, artificial flavors, and other chemicals.
So I make my own homemade powdered coffee creamer recipe.
This recipe for powdered coffee creamer has a healthy fat, coconut oil, to make it creamy and frothy. It's simple to whip it up, and it will sit on the shelf for weeks or months, depending on your ingredients.

Most stores sell non-fat dry milk for your recipe for powdered coffee creamer. That will work, but whole dry milk will taste better to make DIY powdered coffee creamer. It's just up to you and your dietary needs and personal preference.
Whole powdered milk adds about 50 calories per 1/4 cup versus using nonfat powdered milk, but I'm okay with those extra calories because my coffee creamer is a splurge for me. I'd rather adjust my diet for the rest of the day to make up for those calories.
The amount of sugar can also be adjusted when you make DIY powdered coffee creamer. I don't like my coffee very sweet, so I add a little less sweetener for my recipe for powdered coffee creamer.
You can add more sugar than the recipe calls for if you'd like. You can also use a sugar substitute, but you'll have to experiment with different amounts depending on the sweetener that you use.
The homemade powdered coffee creamer recipe calls for powdered sugar, but you can also use coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is said to have a lower glycemic index, which means it won't cause blood sugar spikes as high as table sugar or powdered sugar does. However, studies only had a few people in them, so this might not be completely accurate.
Coconut sugar 
You can also use monk fruit for this recipe for powdered coffee creamer.
The bottom line is that coconut sugar is probably a better choice than powdered sugar, but it's still a sometimes food and should be used sparingly.
That said, I used half powdered sugar and half coconut sugar in my recipe for powdered coffee creamer for the best of both worlds.
The coconut oil gives this DIY powdered coffee creamer recipe it's creamy flavor. It also adds some froth to your coffee. If you don't like the coconut flavor, you can use refined coconut oil. Coconut oil gives the good HDL cholesterol a boost, so it's a great addition for your health.
Homemade Powdered Coffee Creamer Ingredients
- 4 cup powdered milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar or coconut sugar (I used half of each)
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil
Homemade Powdered Coffee Creamer Directions
STEP #1
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave. I find it easier to put the entire jar in the microwave and pour off a tablespoon. You don't need to melt the entire jar; the top will melt enough to pour. Just make sure that you don't have any foil on the lid before you microwave.
STEP #2
Combine the powdered milk, powdered sugar, and melted coconut oil in a food processor or blender. Blend until you have a fine powder.
You can also put the powdered milk and powdered sugar in a bowl and drizzle the coconut oil over it and use a whisk to combine. I prefer my DIY powdered coffee creamer in a fine powder, so I grind it with a bullet style blender.
STEP #3
Store your homemade powdered coffee creamer in a mason jar with a lid.
