Honey Bun Latte
This easy honey bun latte recipe combines espresso with honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla for a warm, bakery-inspired coffee drink that's ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1-2 shots espresso
- ¾ cup milk
- 1-2 tsps honey
- 1-2 tsps brown sugar
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- Drop of vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp butter extract optional, for a stronger bakery flavor
- ice if making an iced latte
Optional toppings
- whipped cream
- Cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Add honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and butter extract if using, to a mug.
- Pour hot espresso over the mixture and stir until dissolved.
- For a hot latte, heat and froth the milk. For an iced latte, fill a glass with ice and use cold milk.
- Pour milk into the espresso mixture and stir gently.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Top with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use very hot espresso so the sugar dissolves fully.
- Adjust sweetness based on preference.
- Works with dairy or non-dairy milk.
- You can swap brown sugar for white, but the flavor won’t be as rich.
- Butter extract is optional, but it adds a richer bakery-style flavor.
