Ingredients Notes
The ingredients used in this recipe complement each other to create a flavorful and satisfying coffee beverage.
- Espresso: we used our Nespresso machine with an espresso pod for a strong flavorful coffee. However, if you don't have an espresso machine but still want the bold flavors you can simply make extra strong coffee.
- Peanut Butter: creamy natural peanut butter is a must for this coffee recipe. You can also use homemade natural peanut butter.
- Maple Syrup: I really enjoy this Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup for this recipe. It is naturally sweetened with monk fruit to give you a perfect sweet start to your day. If you're not too worried about the sugar content, you can opt for using regular maple syrup instead.
