Fall is a great time to cozy up and make some comforting cups of coffee with a little extra joy.
Nothing says fall like pecans. Who doesn't love the rich depth of a butter pecan flavored treat? Pecans have a whole host of benefits including helping you get healthy fats, zinc, ellagic acid, vitamin A and more. We've added agave so that we could sweeten the drink with a lower glucose index sweetener. This butter pecan coffee drink is an easy DIY treat that is a unique fall comfort.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (or ghee)
- 1 tablespoon blue agave syrup (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 quart water
DIRECTIONS
- Place pecans, butter, syrup, vanilla, salt and water in a blender or food processor.
- Blend ingredients until smooth.
- Pour creamer into a serving container.
- Add creamer to freshly brewed VitaCup coffee and enjoy!
Make sure you refrigerate your leftover creamer in a container or jar. It will stay good for up to 5 days when stored properly.
What do you think? Did you love the creamer? What's your favorite fall coffee drink?

Favorite comfort and warming drinks during cold months here in IN are coffee (love Genius Blend) with flavored cream/half and half and a good cocoa with a little milk and whipped cream (of course!). Add to either a splash of Amaretto or Irish Cream and … yum.
That creamer recipe sounds really good😋. When its cold I like to drink coco and flavored coffees.
