Ingredients
- 1 cup of milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 small banana, mashed up to 1/4 cup
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
You will need the following tools:
- A small pot
- Whisk
- Spoons and cups for measuring
- Small strainer (optional, for a smooth texture)
- Container or jar made of glass for storage
How to do it:
- Mix the ingredients together
In a small saucepan, mix the milk, heavy cream, mashed banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla with a whisk.
- Warm Up Slowly
Put the saucepan on low to medium heat and stir it constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the creamer is warm and a little thicker. Don’t let it boil! - Taste and change
If you need to, taste the creamer and add more sweetness or spice. - Strain (optional)
If you want a silky-smooth texture, pour the creamer through a fine mesh strainer into a glass jar or other container. - Let it cool and then put it away
Let the creamer cool down all the way, then put it in the fridge with a lid on it. Before you use it, shake it well.
Tips for Pros:
- Use a banana that is very ripe. The more spots and soft it is, the sweeter and tastier it will be.
- Keep whisking! To keep the creamer smooth and stop it from clumping while it heats up.
- Don’t cook it. To keep the creamy texture, you need to heat it gently.
- Get rid of the strain. If you want a creamer that is very smooth, strain it before you put it away.
- Have fun with sweetness. Try it as you go! You can change the amount of brown sugar to suit your taste.
Changes and Substitutions:
- Not Dairy? Skip the heavy cream and use almond, oat, or coconut milk instead.
- Not much sugar? If you want to, you can use a sugar-free sweetener or a little bit of maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
- More spicy? For a cozier flavor, add a little ginger or a splash of maple extract.
Tips for making ahead:
You can make this creamer up to five days ahead of time! Put it in a sealed container in the fridge and shake it well before you use it.
Leftovers and how to store them:
You can keep the creamer in the fridge for up to five days if you put it in a sealed jar. Before you put it in your coffee, shake or stir it well. If it gets too thick, just add a little milk to make it thinner.
