Indulge in the delightful combination of breakfast and coffee with a French Toast Latte. This creamy and sweet beverage encapsulates the essence of a classic French toast breakfast, making it the perfect treat for brunch or an indulgent morning pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 shot of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives such as almond or oat milk)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for whipped cream topping)
Brew a shot of espresso using your espresso machine or prepare strong brewed coffee if you prefer.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir frequently to prevent scalding.
Once the milk is hot, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk mixture until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy.
In your favorite coffee mug, pour the brewed espresso first, then gently add the frothy milk mixture over it.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Spoon the whipped cream over the latte and sprinkle with additional cinnamon for a decorative touch.
Enjoy your French Toast Latte warm and savor the delightful blend of flavors!
