Sweetened Cashew Creamer is fast, simple and creamy. Make a weekly batch and this wonderful option can always be on hand.
I have coffee every morning. There is no shying away from it and I am taking full responsibility along with the fact that I have to have creamer. Thank goodness for cashews!
My brain does not seem to be working yet. It is early morning and I think I am going to go in and get a cup of coffee. Oh, boy! Cashew creamer here I come.
Sweetened Cashew Creamer
Sweetened Cashew Creamer is fast, simple and creamy.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashews - raw
- 1 ½ cups water for the creamer
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup you can use p to 2 tablespoons
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cover the cashews with water by about an inch or two and let soak for at least 4 hours but up to 10 hours.
- They will swell up.
- Drain the cashews and put in a food processor.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
- It may take a couple of minutes.
- Something really great about cashews is that there is nothing left behind to strain through a mesh bag. All of it turns into a creamer.
- So easy and you are all set.
Notes
Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Lauren @ Healthy Delicious
Love this! I've been using cashew milk in my coffee lately (it's so good!) and I bet it's even better with that little hit of maple.

My husband hates almond milk and coconut milk in his coffee, but he needs that creaminess. This is something we haven't tried yet! Fingers crossed...:)

This looks amazing. I do have a question though. The first line of the post states that it is fat free. Can you explain that to me? I thought cashews contained fat? I am still going to make it because I eat fat, I was just curious. Thanks so much. I have just found your website and I am in love. Everything looks amazing!
