    Nothing paves the way for a productive day more than a great cup of coffee. This Keto Coffee Creamer is energizing and satisfying all at once. Best of all, it takes just minutes to make. Let’s get this day started, shall we?

    Raise your hand if you couldn’t dream of starting your day without a cup of coffee.

    I get up extra early so that I can enjoy my morning coffee in peace. It is an integral part of my self care.

    Can we all agree that giving up coffee on a keto diet isn’t an option? And black coffee? No thanks!  

    (I tried, I did. But I could never acquire a taste for it.)

    Though I do enjoy Bulletproof Coffee with grass-fed butter and MCT oil, some days I crave a little bit of sweetness and something more like what I used to drink before I started watching my carb and sugar intake.

    The good news is that this sugar-free Keto Coffee Creamer tastes every bit as good as traditional creamer while remaining low carb, keto-friendly, and gluten-free.

    You can even use it in your favorite iced coffee!

    Ingredients for Making Keto Coffee Creamer Recipe with Heavy Cream

    • Heavy Whipping Cream - I use Organic Valley; whatever brand you choose works, but I always recommend checking nutrition labels as the carb count can vary. To make a dairy-free keto creamer recipe, use canned coconut milk. (Make sure you re-calculate the nutritional information if you are tracking macros.)
    • Almond Milk -  Make sure you use unsweetened! If you aren’t concerned with total calories, you could also use more heavy cream. (This is also a great way to keep this recipe nut-free.
    • MCT Oil - This is optional. I find that MCT oil leaves me feeling great and can help me get into or stay in ketosis.
    • Sweetener -  If you don’t like sweet coffee, you can omit this. (Or adjust the amount to your personal preference.
    • Vanilla Extract - Use a good quality - it will make a difference in the end taste. You can also use vanilla powder.

    Tips & Tricks

    • If you use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, you can eliminate the vanilla extract if you like.
    • If you would like to make a mocha, add ½ tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder per cup of coffee and blend well.
    • Feel free to swap out the vanilla extract for other flavors. Peppermint, hazelnut, and caramel are all great options. Just be sure to start with a quality extract - I have found that some that are less expensive leave an unpleasant aftertaste.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is coffee cream keto friendly?


    Most coffee cream is going to be loaded with sugar and not keto-friendly.
    As an example, International Delight Caramel Macchiato Creamer has a whopping 5 grams of carbohydrates per tablespoon. I

    t contains cane sugar, palm oil, sodium caseinate, dipotassium phosphate, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, natural and artificial flavors, sodium stearoyl lactylate, and salt.

    has 6 grams of carbohydrates per serving. It includes nonfat milk, sugar, heavy cream, buttermilk, high oleic soybean oil, natural flavor, and gellan gum.

    Not exactly healthy options.

    This Keto Coffee Creamer is perfect for your low carb diet!

    Can you make keto-friendly coffee creamer dairy-free?


    Yes - just substitute canned coconut milk for the heavy cream. Make sure you use the full-fat coconut milk and not light if you are looking to keep it keto.

    Can I add protein to this creamer?


    Yes! I would recommend adding collagen protein, like Vital Protein Collagen Peptides. It has 20 grams of collagen per serving and is great for your skin, hair, and nails.

    I would add ⅓ to ½ cup per recipe. Store it in a mason jar and shake well or give it a whirl with an immersion blender before using.

      I made this tonight! Love it, so excited to be able to make my own and control what is in my creamer! Thanks so much. I might try some coconut extract occasionally and maybe add some cinnamon too!!!
