Have your coffee as a decadent breakfast with this Cinnabon inspired Homemade Cinnamon Roll Creamer recipe with cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar.
Homemade Cinnamon Roll Creamer
Cinnamon rolls, especially Cinnabon, are an object of great admiration and obsession in our house, for Mr. Gracious in particular. I'm telling you, he'd live at Cinnabon if they let him. He just loves them so much. Another of Mr. Gracious' great loves is coffee. I wanted to make him a special treat, so it made perfect sense to combine two of his great loves as a gift from his love. And so my Cinnabon creamer idea was born.
Homemade Cinnamon Roll Coffee Creamer is a perfect sweet addition to your coffee, with cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, and just a hint of buttery flavor to round out the cinnamon roll taste. Plus, it only takes 20 minutes to make! Time well spent, if I do say so myself!

I'm visiting you twice from the same link-up...first your dijon chicken, and now THIS! I am in love with this recipe! Cinnamon is my favorite flavor in coffee, and the only place I can find it is Kroger. Since there's no Kroger in my town, I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

This sounds wonderful! I love a cup of coffee in the mornings. I'm going to have to try this as my creamer. Your recipe is being featured at this week's link party. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/94575660904238893/

Your recipe sounds amazing and I want to make it but I never heard of butter flavor.
What is it and where can I find it?
Michelle says
I've seen it at most grocery stores except Aldi. It's by the baking supplies and vanilla extract, in just a little bottle like the vanilla.
Linda says
This sounds GREAT, and even better than the 'Cinnabon' creamer you can buy premade (no crappy artifical flavors and ingredients)...
I have just one question -
How long does it last in the refrigerator before going sour? My husband wanted to know, and at first I said - "As long as the expiration date on the milk and/or cream/half&half"
Then I read the recipe and saw that those get heated, which would make that moot...
Michelle says
I've always been able to keep it until the expiration dates.
Michele says
Does the cinnamon dissolve in the creamer? I’ve tried adding cinnamon to other creamers and it seems to float on top instead of mixing in.
Michelle says
I wouldn't say it dissolves but it will incorporate. Cinnamon incorporates better in warm mixtures.
