- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, oat, or almond work best)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon smooth pecan butter (or 1/4 teaspoon pecan extract)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of sea salt
- Optional: Whipped cream and crushed toasted pecans for garnish
Instructions
- Brew two shots of fresh espresso or a half-cup of very strong coffee. Pour the hot coffee into a large mug and set it aside while you prepare the flavored milk mixture.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, pecan butter (or extract), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly to ensure the pecan butter dissolves fully into the milk and the mixture doesn’t scorch.
- Once the milk mixture is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges, remove it from the heat. Use a hand frother or a whisk to foam the milk until it reaches your desired level of frothiness.
- Slowly pour the frothed maple pecan milk over your coffee in the mug. Use a spoon to hold back the foam so the liquid goes in first, then top the drink with the remaining fluffy foam.
- If you are feeling indulgent, top your latte with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of crushed toasted pecans for a delightful crunch.
