As we enter the fall season, we start anticipating the delicious fall-inspired lattes we can purchase or make at home. Below are some latte recipes we encourage you to try – you won’t regret it!
S’mores Latte
If your favorite s’more latte is the Starbucks version, we invite you to try making it at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups hot brewed medium-roast coffee
- 1 cup 2% milk (or dairy-free milk)
- ¼ cup chocolate syrup, divided
- ½ cup mini marshmallows, divided
- ½ cup whipped cream (skip for dairy-free version)
- 2 crushed graham cracker squares
- 1 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar
Instructions:
- Heat milk in a saucepan (or use a frother) and set over medium-low heat; stir for 3 to 5 minutes. Froth with a whisk.
- Add coffee, chocolate syrup, and marshmallows (tip: broil marshmallows on a foil-lined baking sheet for 30-60 seconds or until lightly toasted). Add frothed milk. Top with whipped cream.
- Garnish with graham crackers, chocolate bar, and marshmallows. Drizzle chocolate syrup.
Butterscotch Latte
Butterscotch has a buttery-creamy flavor reminiscent of Dulce de Leche but not as sweet. It is the perfect flavoring for a fall latte! Check out this recipe from Snacks and Sips.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz espresso
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free substitute)
- 1-2 Tbsp butterscotch sauce
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm milk for about 5 minutes; stir regularly.

- 1 to 2 shots espresso or ⅓ to ½ cup dark roast
- Whipped cream to top off
Instructions:
- Add pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and black pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring until it’s hot and smells cooked, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add the sugar and stir until the mixture bubbles and is syrupy.
- Whisk in the milk and vanilla and warm gently, stirring often, making sure it doesn’t boil over.
- Carefully process the mixture with a hand blender or in a traditional blender until frothy and blended (or use frother).
