This Banana Bread Dairy-Free Coffee Creamer tastes delicious in coffee without all of the added sugar and preservatives!
I’ll admit it, I used to be one of those flavored coffee cream junkies. What ever flavor it was, I had to have it! I adored all the dessert flavors, including caramel macchiato, irish cream, butter pecan and every flavor in between.
Once I read an article on how bad these really were, I stopped buying them completely. I was not into the added sugars, artificial flavoring and the processed ingredients that I can’t even pronounce. I was destined to come up with my own flavored creamer made with all-natural ingredients. Coconut milk stood in for the creamy texture of creamy and the date and ripe banana lends to a sweet flavor. This is super easy to make, dairy-free, vegan, paleo and just plain delicious in a cup of coffee!

im Paleo day 11. I concocted something similar this week, but just trader joes almond beverage and a ripe banana. Blended and put in a mason jar in the frig. Looked and tasted so delish when i first made it. By morning it had darkened. When I put in my coffee it darkened more, and the solid from the banana rose to the top and turned into a brown sludge. I want sooo much to love this as I haven’t had a good coffee in 11 days. Maybe more liquid would have been better (but what I blended wasn’t thick). Would like to try this but don’t want to waste ingredients for a similar result. Did you experience anything similar?

Hi there! I didn’t experience anything similar to this, maybe because I used higher-fat coconut milk instead of the almond milk. I feel as though almond milk is too thin to make this creamer with and coconut milk is a better choice. However, if you want to use almond milk again, just make a smaller amount so you won’t have any leftovers the next day 🙂
