I've been straight up obsessed with this peanut butter & honey latte for weeks.
It all started with a trip to Stumbeanos, one of my favorite Fargo coffee shops. The shop had just opened, and I was the first customer, having come early to meet a friend. I recognized the barista as the owner, and I asked him what seasonal drinks they had come up with. He began describing a peanut butter & honey latte, and I ordered it immediately.
One sip, and I was in love. I knew I had to recreate it at home.
Note: I'm aware that peanut butter isn't strict paleo. I don't eat strict paleo 100% of the time! Usually I try to keep the non-paleo stuff off the blog (because of the name Do You Even Paleo) but this was way to f'in good not to share.
Also, there are paleo options below. But if you can handle peanut butter, I wholeheartedly suggest making it with real peanut butter. It's worth it.
First thing's first. I can't truly recreate this at home because I don't have an espresso machine. I'm so enamored with this peanut butter & honey latte that I truly wish I could afford an espresso machine just to master this beverage at home. Unfortunately, it will be a long, long time before I have that kind of money.
If you have an espresso machine, all you've got to do is double the amount of nut milk in this recipe. I wouldn't double the amount of peanut butter or honey. And if you're like me and you prefer your coffee strong, use two shots of espresso. Oh so worth it.
Non-Dairy Milk Options
I made this peanut butter & honey latte with cashew milk, pecan milk, and coconut milk.
The only one I wouldn't recommend is coconut milk. The flavor was too overpowering, and this isn't a recipe for a PB + Honey + Coconut Latte. If that sounds good to you, though, use coconut milk!
Otherwise, stick to milder, neutral-tasting milks. Unsweetened almond milk should work, too!
Nut Butter Options
Yes, I did try it with other nut butters. Since this is a paleo blog, I utilized some paleo options. Sunflower seed butter and almond butter both work, but the result isn't quite the same. The almond butter version definitely tastes like almond butter. The sunflower seed butter is closer to the original, but... But it just doesn't have that same beautiful marriage of peanut butter and honey that I fell in love with.
I really sound like I fell in love with a latte, don't I? And here I thought Americanos were my true love in the coffee world. Who knew I just had to blend some peanut butter and honey?
Okay, I've got to admit that I'm exaggerating just a little. I still revel in my black coffee every morning. But every once in a while, I want a blended coffee. And right now? This is my top choice.

Can I just come visit you so you can make one for me? 😉 This looks SO delicious!
Chelsea says
Heck yes, Lauren! My doors are always open! You just have to make the treck to ND. 😉
Magda says
Looks amazing - I will definitely be making this in the near future. Sounds delicious! Quick note: when you mention non-dairy options, you spelled it 'diary'... LOL you might want to update.
Chelsea says
Thanks for pointing that out, Magda! Sometimes my fingers have a mind of their own as I type. 😛
Kim says
Would it work as well if you blended the hot coffee + everything else at the same time, or is this just meant to be a topper?
Chelsea says
I knew someone would ask that! Yes, I think it would work if you blended it all at the same time. But I never tried in that way, so I can't say for sure. To me, it was easier to blend the nut milk/pb/honey mixture and top off each cup of coffee.
Eva says
Delicious! Used home made cold brew concentrate and oat milk. And blended all ingredients together at once. Sooooo tasty! How is this not the official national drink? Since everybody here loves peanut butter and coffee! : )

How have I never thought to try this with cold brew before? Brilliant! Thanks for the tip, Eva!
Breck says
So delicious!!! Note: I warmed/frothed the milk mixture before adding it to the coffee.

Chelsea says
That sounds amazing! If I had a milk frother, I'd do the same 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
