This Pumpkin Spice Pecan Latte is the ultimate cozy fall drink made with pumpkin butter, maple pecan syrup, frothed milk, and a crunchy pecan topping. It’s warm, nutty, creamy, and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups milk (whole or alternative)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin butter
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 3–4 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine raw pecans and maple syrup. Simmer for 5 minutes. Strain pecans and stir 1 teaspoon vanilla into the syrup. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss the syrup-coated pecans with brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
  3. In a pot, warm milk with pumpkin butter, pumpkin spice, and 1–2 tablespoons of the pecan syrup. Whisk until frothy and steaming.
  4. Divide espresso or coffee between two mugs. Pour the hot frothed milk mixture over the coffee.
  5. Whip the heavy cream with 1–2 tablespoons of pecan syrup until soft peaks form.
  6. Top each latte with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped pecan crunch. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or star anise if desired.

Notes

  • Use pumpkin purée with spices if you don’t have pumpkin butter.
  • Oat milk is the best dairy-free option for frothing.
  • Store extra pecan syrup in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • The pecan crunch stays fresh in an airtight container for 5 days.
  • Can be served iced by cooling the milk and espresso and pouring over ice.
