Ingredients

Maple Pecan Base

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons pecan halves (or about 8 pecan halves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Milk & Espresso

  • 1/3 cup milk (recommended: Fairlife milk for extra protein)
  • 1 double shot espresso

Instructions

  1. Blend Base: In a small blender, combine the maple syrup, pecan halves, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend until the pecans are finely ground and the mixture is smooth, creating a flavorful base for your latte.
  2. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and has a frothy texture, which will give your latte a creamy mouthfeel.
  3. Add Espresso: Brew a double shot of espresso. For an iced latte, fill a glass with ice and pour the espresso over it. For a warm latte, brew the espresso directly into a cozy mug without ice.
  4. Combine and Serve: Pour the blended milk mixture over the prepared espresso. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly. Optionally, add any toppings like whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon, then enjoy your homemade Starbucks Maple Pecan Latte.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular milk with any plant-based milk if desired, though it may affect the frothiness and protein content.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to make the latte sweeter or less sweet according to your preference.
  • Adding cinnamon is optional but adds a wonderful warm depth to the flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup, plant-based milk, and make espresso with non-dairy milk alternatives or black coffee.
  • Toasting pecans slightly before blending can enhance their flavor but is optional.
