Maple Pecan Latte

Maple Pecan Latte

This cozy Maple Pecan Latte blends bold coffee, creamy milk, real maple syrup, and nutty pecans for a comforting, homemade coffee shop treat. Perfect for chilly mornings or anytime you crave a warm, sweet pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 12 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pecan butter or 2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional, dairy or coconut)
  • Toasted pecans, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong coffee using your preferred method. Pour into a large mug.
  2. If using chopped pecans, toast them in a small pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Let cool, then finely chop or blend.
  3. Heat 3/4 cup milk in a small saucepan over low heat, whisking until steamy and frothy. Alternatively, use a milk frother.
  4. If using toasted chopped pecans, blend them with the hot milk until smooth. If using pecan butter, stir it into the milk.
  5. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  6. Pour the hot milk mixture into the mug with coffee. Stir gently to combine. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
  7. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted pecans for garnish.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use almond, oat, or coconut milk and coconut whipped cream. Strain the pecan milk for a smoother texture if needed. Adjust maple syrup to taste. For iced latte, chill coffee and milk mixture, blend, and pour over ice. Pecans can be toasted and blended in advance for quick prep.
