Welcome to a coffee lover's dream! This Maple Pecan Coffee is inspired by the beloved seasonal offerings at popular coffee shops, bringing the warmth of autumn right to your kitchen. The recipe combines rich, freshly brewed coffee with the natural sweetness of pure maple syrup and the toasty crunch of pecans.
We recommend using a medium-dark roast coffee for this recipe, as its robust flavor stands up well to the sweet and nutty additions. The coffee is brewed using a pour-over method to ensure clarity and highlight the delicate flavors. The maple syrup is carefully measured to provide just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the coffee's natural notes. Finally, a homemade pecan syrup adds depth and a subtle nuttiness that perfectly complements the maple.
