Paleo Coffee Creamer Recipe – This Is a Coffee Game Changer
Coffee is a delicious and soothing ritual for me, but as hard as I try I just can’t enjoy the “healthy” version and drink it black. So when I heard of this Paleo Coffee Creamer I knew I had to give it a shot.
Paleo Coffee Creamer
I really enjoy my coffee, it’s not something I care to permanently give up (although I will try to go coffee-less every once in a while out of pure torture). I have one every morning while I catch up on emails and promote some posts and then again in the afternoon while I watch Days of Our Lives (yes, it’s my guilty pleasure).
Lately, I have been drinking it with no cream and a few drops of stevia, but it just wasn’t hitting the spot for me. I’m going to be completely honest here:
I miss my chemical-filled flavored coffee creamers.
Like, a lot.
Especially the chocolate mint one.
So when my lovely coach, Jenelle Summers, posted this fun coffee trick on her Instagram: I knew I would be trying it. You can follow Jenelle on Instagram here and while you’re at it follow me too.
Paleo Coffee Creamer Step By Step Tutorial
Supplies needed:
I have included affiliate links for your convenience.
- Keurig (or favorite coffee maker)
- Blender of choice
- I LOVE my Vitamix
- Coconut Oil
- Coffee
- My favorite coffee is Kicking Horse Coffee.
Step 1
Make yourself a cup of coffee. I use my Keurig 2.0, I love this thing. You can make a full carafe if you have guests over (or a long day a head), it’s very handy. I actually wrote a review on it a few weeks ago. Read my Keurig 2.0 review (there is also a delicious recipe for an Iced Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte there as well).
Step 2
Add your coffee to a blender (I use a Vitamix and love it – read my Vitamix review for details and it’s available at Amazon.com or Amazon.ca) along with 1 tsp organic coconut oil. Yes, I said coconut oil – trust me.
Step 4
Blend. See the change of color? It’s like there is actual cream in there, you don’t get that by just stirring oil in your coffee. You must blend it.
Step 5
Enjoy.
I love how frothy the top is, it tastes like such a treat.
Paleo Coffee Creamer Variations:
I like my coffee on the sweeter side, but I was able to drink it with just coconut oil. There is something about the coconut oil that makes it sweeter, it’s so lovely.
However, I have been experimenting the past few days and if you’re looking for a little something special here is a quick recipe:
Paleo Peppermint Latte
- 10 oz coffee
- 1 tsp organic coconut oil (I use this one)
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- Stevia to taste
Put in blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Yummm, mine turns out similar from my bulletproof coffee. So creamy and I prefer that now to cream. I haven’t thought about using peppermint, I will have to try it. I have been adding spices occasionally to make a gingerbread coffee.
I have heard that’s amazing as well 🙂 I think that is where this was inspired from.
My husband loves coffee creamer. I will have to try this out.
This is so awesome! Saving, bookmarking, Pinning and sharing!! Randa, I can’t wait to try this!!!
Thanks so much Christine!!
I must admit that I like my coffee sweet too. Sweet as in double sugar, three cream. I have cut way back though in the past couple of months. I use to have at least one coffee a day, and often two, but now I am down to a couple of times a week, sometimes not even at all. I am back on the tea kick, bu this whole coconut oil idea looks pretty cool! I wonder how it would be for my hubby? He uses a sweetener, but the same cream as I..
This sounds really good. I love my coffee extra creamy. Double double
I’m a double double girl myself! If I’m feeling extra dangerous: triple triple has been known to happen in the past.
What a great idea. Sticking to a diet shouldn’t mean giving up the things you love. It’s great that you were still able to do both!
Really, just coconut oil??? wow it looks delicious, but I would have never thought of adding coconut oil to coffee.
I did it before with a health and fitness program I followed, but I just stirred it in. Blending it really gives it this amazing texture and result.
Not sure if you noticed or not but Also helps to curb appetite! Love my BPC! I use a tbsp sometimes 2 depending on what my schedule looks like for when i will be able to get a snack in.
Oh I completely agree. It really keeps me full and gives me energy!
This I must try. Does it not end up making all the flavours taste like coconut?
No, I don’t notice any coconut flavor. It just makes it all creamy and yummy!
I assume the solid kind works best for this?
It’s the only kind I have used, so I’m not sure about the other.
If you use the fractionated ( liquid) it will not be as frothy and will seem more oily
That is a pretty cool idea. Who would have guessed. Might have to try it. I’m sitting here out of my creamer right now anyway. 🙂
sounds amazing & so easy
So this is kind of genius! I am not a huge coffee drinker but next time I make myself a cup I will have to try this!
It’s delicious Gwen, enjoy!
I have never heard of this before but it sounds really interesting. Since I have a Keurig, a Vitamix, and coconut oil, I will try this right now. Thanks for sharing!
Let me know what you think 🙂 You have a good combo!
Awesome idea! Trying very soon. Pinning too!! I <3 coconut oil.
I have to try this. I am a half and half girl, no sugar, tried to drink it all black. Ugh. Don’t like it. I also LOVE days of our lives.
Well next time you watch Days..make this and think of me 🙂
I will. I don’t have a blender but I have a handheld one might try it that way. Where I live Days is on at 1am so I always have to watch it the next day. Thank goodness for spoilers!
Yes I love having my coffee with coconut oil. I als add a little cinnamon with vanilla and its like a vanilla latte. YUM!
This sounds great! I need to try coconut oil. Thanks for sharing at What’d You Do This Weekend? 🙂
Thanks for the invite, off to link up 🙂
This is a great alternative to creamer. I can’t wait to try it!
Who knew coconut oil would turn out so creamy and frothy, it looks great. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Have a great day!!
Okay, I’ll admit, I’ve seen this floating around pinterest for awhile and I’ve been super skeptical, but I decided this morning that I’d give it a try, I’m also addicted to those bad for you creamers. Well, I’m sitting here sipping on my coconut oil coffee and loving it! I didn’t use any sweetener, but I probably will next time, it’s delicious and I’m happy to say that I might just be able to say goodbye to my creamers!
Woo Hoo! That is great Deana, thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know how you like it 🙂
I become more impressed and fascinated by coconut oil everyday…..so many great things to do with it!
I have been using coconut oil more now for recipes I have been trying on my Paleo diet. Great to see this coffee creamer recipe, since I love my coffee and don’t want to just have it black.
Finally did this. Sprinkled the top with cinnamon. So delicious
Yes! It’s so good with cinnamon…and cocoa 😉
Ahhhh cocoa sounds delicious and perfect will try tomorrow
yummy i have to make this , hubby would love it , thanks for sharing looks totally delish 🙂
This is interesting and I am going to try this for my coffee.
What kind of coconut oil did you use? Unrefined or refined?
It’s Carrington Farms Organic, Virgin Cold Pressed
Wow! This is a game changer for me! I have a love/hate relationship with my chemical filled creamers but this was just sooo good I may finally give them up!! I may try adding cocoa powder or vanilla extract next time!! Thanks!
I got super excited when I saw this! I want to try it, I know it’s better then the flavored creamers, but I thought coconut oil is pretty high in calories?
It works out similar to what the creamers are and it’s a healthy fat. It’s good for you. Sometimes calories aren’t everything 🙂
So looking forward to trying this. I use the non-dairy creamers too but feel so guilty because of the milk derivitives in them. I’m trying to get to 100% vegan. Though that’s the only dairy I have, guilt sets in. Can’t wait to try. Quick ques- Does it matter if the oil is in solid form? Kinda warm in my apartment so my coco oil is liquid form right now.Wanted to know if I should stick it in the fridge. Thank you for this!!
Kristine 🙂
It shouldn’t matter because once it’s whipped up in the blender it should still do the same thing 🙂
PS – Silk now has an almond coffee cream that I like. I can’t do the coconut creamers.
Yes, the almond creamer is delish! Little pricey though so not always an option . Thanks so much for the tip and for responding so quickly. You have a great weekend (and a pretty name), Randa! 🙂
Maybe I should learn how to make it and post it 🙂
Awe thank you so much Kristine, have a fabulous weekend yourself and thanks for coming by the blog. I hope to “see” you again soon and chat with ya.
The only thing I miss since changing to a gut- healing, clean eating, paleo diet is my coffee and delicious creamers. Thank you for this post. I knew there had to be a way to be able to enjoy my coffee again!
You’re welcome 🙂 Enjoy!
I like my coffee sweet as well. I use a small amount of organic honey for a little added sweetness!
MMM I love honey in my coffee, maple syrup is good too!
I use to only do those very bad for you creamers. Lately what I do instead is pretty similar to yours. The only difference is I put about 1 tblsp of coconut cream from coconut milk can and about 1 tsp of coconut oil. Makes it soooo much more creamier!!!
MMM! Stacey that sounds amazing, I will have to try that!
Thank you so much for posting this! I appreciate that you provided measurements. It works and is so much better than the coconut milk I’ve been using! I can’t wait to check out your other pins 🙂
Thanks Angela. I agree, I like it better than the coffee coconut creams too! Have a great day.
Curious, your recipe calls for 1 tsp of coconut oil. I’ve seen others that call for 1 tbsp but am reluctant to try because that’s 120 calories. Will 1 tsp really work to provide the results above?
You bet Sherri, it’s all I ever use. I’m scared of 1 tbsp for calories as well. I blend it fast and it gets the results shown.
I tried it this morning and you’re right, this is pretty great. I will need to find some healthy tweaks to maybe flavor it a little bit more, but with just the coconut on its own it’s definitely good. Thanks for the suggestion!
Try extracts! 1/4 tsp or even 1/8 tsp.
I’m glad I tried it but it didn’t taste anything like the coffee mate creamer. From reading the post it sounded that way. Then I spent $35 buying all the ingredients and it’s just not similar. Maybe say it’s different but good…but not the same.
Hey Nicole, I never said it did but I did put out there that it’s a great replacement 🙂 It hits the spot for me. Have a great day.
This worked great! It’s still not as goods regular creamer but still hits the spot!
I’m glad you like it. I have been having it all week as well. Sprinkle some cinnamon over top = heaven!
What a great idea! I made mine with almond extract instead of peppermint & it’s delicious! Thanks.
Coconut is also really yummy as well!

Hi! I have done this two mornings in a row and it tastes great and I am happy to have a non-dairy option. I’ve tried the other nut-milk/oat-milk creamers and they do not do it for me. However, I noticed that when I drink my coffee I get a slightly scratchy feeling in the back of my throat. I am not allergic to coconut and often eat it and use coconut oil and have never had this. Thoughts? Anyone else have this?
Hmmm…that’s a good question. I haven’t had this (to my memory) but I’ll publish this comment and see if anyone else can help you out 🙂
oh, I never tried putting coconut oil to my lattes.
Gave it a try for the first time and it made my latte taste soo rich and flavourful. Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes
wow nice , surely will try this way.
Anyone make this in a Ninja Blender with plastic container? I wonder if the heat of the coffee will damage the plastic. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks!
