One thing I used to love was flavored coffee creamers. When I started cutting back on processed foods, those coffee creamers were one of the first things to go. I do miss them from time to time. This week's recipe is a simple but yummy one. I made Homemade Cinnamon Strudel Coffee Creamer.
I do not have a picture as coffee creamer is not particularly exciting. I will tell you that it was easy to make. I did a half recipe of half & half, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. (I did not have any almond extract so I just omitted it.)
The smell of the cinnamon mixture hitting the hot coffee is heavenly. I normally skip sugar in my coffee, but the maple syrup has just the tiniest bit of sweetness. The above link takes you to a page with several options if cinnamon is not your thing. Once I get some almond extract I will definitely be trying the chocolate almond coffee creamer.
I doubt I will make this an everyday addition to my coffee. I will make it an occasional treat though. Are you a fan of flavored coffees?

Well before I was diagnosed with Diabetes II I disliked the heavy sweetness of coffee creamers even while I loved the flavors otherwise. Then of course so many of the creamers (and creams and other dairy products) have carrageenan. I search hard for creamers with out that. I will try some of these. Wish you lived nearer. I think I have three bottles of almond extract!
