Chatting today about my review of Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Creamer Brown Sugar Flavor and sharing how to use the creamer to make a delicious brown sugar chai recipe.
Trader Joe’s Brown Sugar Chai Recipe
One of my favorite things to share with you are Trader Joe’s items. Today’s item falls under the former category – Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Creamer Brown Sugar Flavor (whew, that’s a mouthful) is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.
I’m not a coffee drinker at all. My morning joy comes in the form of a cup of chai tea. Trader Joe’s has two chai options — Chai Latte Mix Powder and Spiced Chai Concentrate. TJ’s typically keeps them next to each other on the shelf along with the other teas and coffees. I do buy both but I prefer the Chai Latte Mix Powder. It’s stronger in flavor to me than the chai concentrate but it does take a bit longer since you need to add boiling water to it for the powder to fully mix. I’ll sometimes keep the chai concentrate on hand for mornings where I’m low on time or I want an iced chai in a flash.
In the fall, Trader Joe’s brings out maple-flavored and pumpkin-flavored oat milks and I love adding a splash to my chai. Trader Joe’s brings out the Cinnamon Bun Oat Creamer in the winter, which is the absolute best! Here’s how it went:
Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Creamer Brown Sugar Flavor Review
I took a few sips of the creamer on its own to see how it was. The brown sugar flavor was stronger than I expected and I tasted the brown sugar more than I did any oats. I’m normally not an oat milk person but this creamer is very subtle in its oat flavor. The brown sugar is definitely the star. Overall, I was impressed for $1.99.

My Trader Joe’s didn’t have any of the Chai Latte Mix in stock when I went so I made this with the Spiced Chai Concentrate. I’m going to try this again with the mix once it’s back and I might even get a little fancy with frothing the oat milk! Here’s what I did this time:
Fill a glass with ice. Pour the Spiced Chai Concentrate about halfway and then I added Trader Joe’s Almond, Cashew, and Macadamia Milk until the glass is about 3/4 full. Lastly, I added two tablespoons of Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Creamer Brown Sugar Flavor and give it a stir. It’s a delicious treat to have in the morning or for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
