Maple Pecan Coffee
If your favorite coffee shop ran out of its maple pecan latte, this version proves how easy it is to make one better at home. Maple syrup adds balanced sweetness while toasted pecans bring a subtle nuttiness that deepens the flavor of freshly brewed coffee — no artificial syrups or flavor oils needed.
This recipe shows the same flavor-building approach we use in all PantryJoy drinks: start with great coffee, enhance it with real ingredients, and layer aroma, texture, and depth like you would in a craft cocktail. The result is a maple pecan coffee that feels indulgent but simple enough for any morning.

Instructions
- Toast pecans: In a dry skillet, warm chopped pecans 45–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Build the base: In your mug, combine maple syrup, toasted pecans, and vanilla.
- Pour coffee: Add hot brewed coffee over the pecan mixture and stir gently to release the aroma.
- Warm milk: Heat or lightly froth milk, then pour into the mug. Stir once or twice to blend.
- Finish: Drizzle a bit of maple syrup, sprinkle crushed pecans, and dust with cinnamon if desired. Serve warm.
Tip: For extra depth, let the pecans steep in the hot coffee for 1 minute before adding milk.
