Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it delivers deep maple and nutty pecan flavors without any complicated steps.

Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons pecan halves
1 cup milk of choice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 to 2 shots prepared espresso or very strong coffee
Directions
I start by adding the maple syrup, pecans, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a blender. I blend until the mixture is smooth and the pecans are fully broken down.
Next, I pour in the milk and blend again until the mixture becomes creamy and lightly frothy.
For a cold drink, I fill a glass with ice and add the prepared espresso or coffee. For a warm version, I add the coffee directly to a mug.
Finally, I pour the maple pecan milk mixture over the coffee, stir gently, and enjoy right away.
Servings And Timing
This recipe makes 1 serving.
Total preparation time is about 5 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a more autumn-inspired flavor.
If I want a stronger nut taste, I increase the pecans by one extra tablespoon.
For a sweeter latte, I add an additional teaspoon of maple syrup.
When I want it extra creamy, I use oat milk or whole milk instead of lighter options.
Storage/Reheating
I enjoy this latte fresh, but I can prepare the maple pecan milk mixture ahead of time without the coffee. I store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, I shake or stir it well. If I want it warm, I gently heat the milk mixture on the stovetop before combining it with coffee.
FAQs
Can I make this latte dairy-free?
Yes, I regularly use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk, and all work well in this recipe.
Do I need a high-powered blender?
I prefer a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture, but a regular blender also works if I blend a little longer.
Can I make this drink less sweet?
I simply reduce the maple syrup to 1 tablespoon or adjust it to taste.
Is this latte better hot or cold?
I enjoy it both ways, depending on the season. Cold is refreshing, while warm feels comforting and cozy.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, I often double or triple the ingredients and blend a larger batch of the milk mixture to use over a few days.
