A warm, nutty latte with the sweetness of maple syrup and the cozy richness of pecans, perfect for fall mornings or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup espresso or 3/4 cup strong coffee
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to bubble and the pecans are fragrant (about 3 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Allow the syrup to cool slightly.
  3. For a smoother consistency, blend the syrup using a blender or immersion blender (optional).
  4. While the syrup cools, brew your coffee or espresso. You’ll need about 1/2 cup of espresso or 3/4 cup of strong coffee.
  5. In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium-low heat until warm (but not boiling). Froth the milk using a frother or whisk until creamy and foamy.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of pecan syrup to your mug, followed by the brewed coffee. Stir well to combine.
  7. Pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon, then gently spoon the foam on top.
  8. Optional: Finish with whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of crushed pecans for extra flair.

Notes

[‘Toast the pecans before making the syrup to enhance their nutty flavor.’, ‘Frothing the milk gives the latte its signature creamy texture. If you don’t have a frother, whisk the milk vigorously.’, ‘Start with less syrup and add more to taste, as maple syrup can be quite sweet.’, ‘The pecan syrup can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Warm it up before using.’]
