Peanut Butter Coffee

Peanut Butter Coffee–A creamy, dreamy blend of homemade chocolate peanut butter syrup, espresso, and steamed milk come together to create a decadent, yet easy peanut butter mocha that is perfect for curling up with or starting your day with. 

I start each and every day with a simple homemade latte. But when I want to really indulge, I opt for this homemade Peanut Butter Mocha.

Made with rich peanut butter, decadent chocolate all swirled together with a boost of caffeine, this homemade mocha is so much better than anything I can purchase at a coffee chain and reminds me of my favorite treat ever–Homemade Reeses Cups.

With every sip, I feel myself relaxing and enjoying the moment–how can you not enjoy when you are sipping on chocolate?! 

The best part of this drink? It comes together in minutes! That means you can whip this up on even the busiest of days–even if you do have to reheat it several times before you have time to finish (all you parents know what I am talking about!)

What you Need

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Syrup: This is nothing more than homemade chocolate syrup mixed with creamy peanut butter. It takes just a few minutes to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Perfect for when the craving for peanut butter coffee strikes.
• Milk: Use any milk you like, cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.
• Coffee: You can use espresso or strongly brewed coffee. So don’t worry if you don’t have an espresso machine!
• Whisk: To make coffee house lattes, the only tool you need is a hand-held whisk. It froths warmed milk perfectly in just 30 seconds.

How to make Peanut Butter Mocha at Home

• Start by making homemade chocolate peanut butter syrup. Combine cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and water in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low. Stir until sugar and cocoa powder dissolve, about 2-3 minutes. Add peanut butter and stir while the syrup heats, for approximately 5 minutes. Remove syrup for heat and add in vanilla and dash of salt.
• Heat 1/2 cup of milk in the microwave for 45 seconds.
• Once heated, use the whisk to froth the milk by placing the handle in between the palms of your hands and quickly moving back and forth until the milk is bubbly. Check out my tips on how to make homemade lattes for a video tutorial on how this is done.
• Top with hot strongly brewed coffee and enjoy.
