There’s something about Thanksgiving mornings that just need a little something warm and nutty in your mug. This Maple Pecan Coffee recipe is sweet, toasty, and tastes like it belongs between the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie.

If you’re hosting, this is an easy holiday coffee drink to make ahead or serve in a slow cooker for guests. If you’re not hosting… well, it’s even better. Curl up with a mug and let the cozy take over.

☕ Ingredients

  • 1–2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • ¾ cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp pecan extract (or use a pecan-flavored creamer)
  • Optional: whipped cream, cinnamon, crushed pecans

🦃 How To Make It

  1. Warm the base: In a small saucepan, heat your milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and pecan extract together until just steaming.
  2. Brew it strong: Make your espresso or coffee.
  3. Combine: Pour the maple-pecan milk into your coffee. Stir.
  4. Top it: Add whipped cream, cinnamon, and a pinch of crushed pecans for that dessert-y finish.

🍁 Why It Works for Thanksgiving

This is one of those easy fall drinks that feels way fancier than it is. It pairs well with all the typical Thanksgiving snacks—especially anything with pecan pie, roasted nuts, or spiced muffins. It’s a perfect warm-up drink while everyone’s still pretending not to be hungry before dinner.

You could even set up a mini Thanksgiving coffee bar with this as the main feature. Add in fall iced coffee recipes or a cute mocktail recipe for non-caffeine folks, and you’re basically the host of the year.
