A cozy, creamy latte featuring toasted pecans blended with oat milk and sweetened with homemade brown sugar syrup and maple syrup. Perfect for a comforting coffee treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) 100% pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) toasted and roughly chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the brown sugar syrup by combining brown sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let cool.
  3. In a blender, combine oat milk and toasted pecans. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and nutty-infused. Optionally strain for smoother texture.
  4. Brew 2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong coffee and pour into a mug.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar syrup to the coffee and stir well.
  6. Pour the pecan oat milk over the coffee. Froth with a milk frother or whisk if desired.
  7. Garnish with chopped toasted pecans or a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Notes

If syrup is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen. For stronger pecan flavor, soak pecans in oat milk overnight before blending. Warm milk before frothing for better foam. Avoid overheating milk to prevent separation. Store brown sugar syrup in fridge up to 2 weeks; reheat gently before use. Leftover pecan oat milk can be refrigerated up to 2 days; shake before use.
