The Top 7 Oat Milk Creamer Flavors You Need To Try

In recent years, oat milk — a non-dairy alternative to cow's milk — has taken the culinary world by storm. The plant-based beverage, which is typically free from lactose, soy, and nuts, is filled with nutrients like riboflavin, potassium, and iron (via Healthline). Serving as a vegan option amidst the likes of soy, lactose-free, and almond milk, coffee brands have also jumped on the bandwagon by creating their own oat milk creamers.

These dairy-free coffee additions are a great option for those who are vegan, following a plant-based diet,  lactose intolerant, allergic to milk, or have a gastroenterological condition, like Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), per Medical News Today. Oat milk contains various minerals and vitamins based on the type and brand, but it generally contains high amounts of calcium and vitamin B12. That being said, it doesn't have the same nutritional value as dairy milk. Ahead, you can read on to discover seven of the best oat milk creamer flavors to try.

Coffee Mate is no stranger to the creamer game. The popular brand has been around since 1961 and jumped into the dairy-free ring in recent years. One of its most well-known flavors is the Natural Bliss Brown Sugar Oat Milk Creamer, a natural option free from GMOs, artificial flavors and colors, and gluten. The smooth taste has notes of molasses via natural flavoring. 

Natural Bliss Brown Sugar Oat Milk Creamer gained notoriety shortly after Starbucks came out with a brown sugar shaken espresso drink, and a video went viral on TikTok showing how to use Coffee Mate to make the beverage at home, per Insider. As stated by reviews, buyers have dubbed this non-dairy creamer as the "best vegan alternative." Regardless of whether you use it to create a copycat Starbucks beverage or for your daily a.m. coffee, it provides a tasty, rich flavor without any additives. The only consideration? Since the ingredients are all-natural, Coffee-Mate notes that some separation may occur in the formulation. 

If you crave a more classic taste, Silk's The Vanilla One Oat Creamer is a great option. According to the brand, it's free from carrageenan — an additive that's frequently used to thicken and preserve food and drinks. You also don't have to worry about any cholesterol, plus, it doesn't contain artificial colors or flavors. It's non-GMO project certified, too, which means that the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization, verified the product as being completely free from genetically engineered ingredients. 

Complete with a 4.7-star rating from more than 190 Target shoppers, with one even saying, "The BEST creamer. [...] Great with my coffee and matcha latte." Another noted that it "...tastes like actual dairy creamer." Buyers were thrilled with its ability to easily froth, making it ideal for topping espresso-based or typically milk-heavy drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, something that's often difficult to accomplish with plant-based milks and creamers. 

nutpods exclusively produces dairy-free products like barista oat milks, creamers, and even holiday eggnogs, so it's no surprise that the company landed on our list of the best oat milk creamers. One of the brand's most popular flavors is the cinnamon swirl oat creamer, which is described by the brand as having "the taste of your favorite cinnamon cereal." It's available in two size options (11.2 ounces or 25.4 ounces), which means you can either test it out on a smaller scale or snag it in a larger container. 

Each serving is just 10 calories and contains 0 grams of saturated fat, carbs, sugar, and protein. It's also free from GMOs and gluten, certified vegan, and keto-friendly. Best of all, it's unsweetened, which makes it great for those who want to watch their sugar intake but still enjoy a delicious coffee. One buyer noted that it tastes "delicious and [is the] healthiest brand [they've] found." 

Califia Farms is another brand with an extensive array of products in the coffee department, ranging from its popular line of cold brews to its barista-blended plant milks. The brand's Cinnamon Roll Oat Creamer, which is free of gluten, soy, and carrageenan, is a huge winner for shoppers who adore a nutty, spice-inspired palette — one buyer even described it as "heaven" thanks to the creamy and enriched flavor that was inspired by an iced cinnamon roll. It's made with real cinnamon, too. Listed at 25 calories and 3 grams of sugar per serving, this creamer has also been certified by the Non-GMO Project, along with being 100% vegan and Kosher. 

While you can use it in hot or iced coffee and tea, the brand also suggests whipping it and using it to top a dessert, like cinnamon sour cream coffee cake or rice pudding. You can even add it to oatmeal for an extra kick of flavor. 

Once known for its line of Greek yogurt, Chobani started selling a variety of plant-based creamers in recent years. The brand's Sweet & Creamy Oat, which is its original flavor, is one of the top-selling options, especially because it's a choice you can feel good about: It's made from whole-wheat gluten-free oats and is naturally free from lactose and nuts.

Like other options on our list, it also uses GMO-free ingredients and is without artificial flavors, along with being U-DE Kosher certified.

According to GoDairyFree, the response to the original flavor of Chobani's oat milk creamer is generally positive. Buyers found that it's super creamy with a consistency akin to whole milk, and noted that the flavor isn't too overpowering, either, providing a rather simple addition of sweetness to their daily cup of joe. However, if you'd rather something with a bit more taste, Chobani also offers a vanilla flavor, too. 

Hailed as a veteran of the oat milk world, Planet Oat's caramel oat milk creamer is a delicious snag for fans of the classic and nutty flavor. Although the brand doesn't state whether its ingredients are natural or GMO-free, shoppers absolutely adore this option. This rich and creamy creamer has received a number of reviews on abillion and has a 4.77 out of 5-star rating, with buyers even saying it is "sweet and has a lovely caramel flavor." One reviewer even stated, "Mixed with coffee, [it] tastes like Bailey's without alcohol."

A tablespoon is one serving and contains 25 calories and 30 milligrams of potassium. You'll just want to note that it doesn't contain enriched nutrients like other picks on our list, zeroing out on vitamin D, calcium, and iron. That being said, it does specify that it's free from dairy, gluten, peanuts, and soy, meaning that it's generally friendly to those with allergies — just double-check the ingredient list before clicking 'add to cart.' 

Complete with a warm and toasty flavor, Elmhurst's Chai Spice Oat Creamer is a fan-favorite for a number of reasons. It's shelf-stable — which means it doesn't need to be refrigerated until you open it — has 1 gram of sugar and 15 calories per serving, and is free from GMOs, artificial flavors, and gums or emulsifiers. According to the brand, it has up to four times more nuts than other popular oat milk creamer options. It even has a 4.4-star rating from more than 65 buyers, with folks absolutely loving the simple and natural ingredient list that consists of oat milk, hemp cream, and cane sugar. Chai adds the perfect touch of spice to coffee or tea and completely changes into something extraordinarily flavorful.

The one consideration you'll want to keep in mind is that it's a bit pricier than some other options on our list. A two-pack of 16-fluid-ounce containers retails for around $12, while other brands on this list average about $5.
