Cozy up in chilly weather with this delicious and allergy friendly homemade Cappuccino Mix. It’s dairy free, gluten free, and can be made low sugar, too!

Chilly days call for hot drinks and a warm fireplace, or at least Netflix and a warm blanket 🙂

Oddly enough, our weather the past couple weeks hasn’t been super cold (40’s mostly), but it’s been chilly enough for me to crave some hot teas, hot coffees, and my favorite homemade dairy free hot Cappuccino Mix.

This recipe is slightly adapted from a recipe from Taste of Home. They had featured a recipe for cappuccino mix back in 1993 that my mom would make all the time. I copied down the recipe years ago and found it again a couple weeks ago and decided to remake it allergy friendly.

my version of the cappuccino mix, I didn’t add any cocoa mix since I didn’t have any dairy free cocoa mix made up, but you can add 1-2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder to this mix if you want to have a bit of chocolate. I think it tastes great without it, so I left it out.

Making low sugar (or sugar free) cappuccino mix

My dairy free Cappuccino Mix can also be made low sugar, but with the creamer I use it’s not completely sugar free since the Simple Truth coconutmilk creamer still has a little bit of sugar in it (2 grams of sugar per serving). You can make this recipe low sugar by replacing the sugar with baking stevia as noted in the recipe.

You can also make this cappuccino mix lower sugar by using half sugar and half baking Stevia. I’ve made this recipe with all varieties: sugar only, stevia only, and half-sugar-half-stevia and they all taste great.

If you’re not a fan of stevia, you can try a monk fruit, xylitol, or erythritol powder instead (although I wouldn’t recommend the erythritol or xylitol powder if you have IBS). Another way to make this is using palm sugar, date sugar, or maple sugar instead of cane sugar. I haven’t tried these variations myself, so I’m not sure how they would taste in this recipe.

You can make this mix completely sugar free if you use a different powdered dairy free creamer than the Simple Truth creamer I use and a sugar-free natural sugar alternative. If you try this recipe with a different brand of creamer, let me know in the comments how it turns out!
