Easy Peanut Butter Coffee Recipe with Added Chocolate (1)

I start each and every day with a simple homemade latte. But when I want to really indulge, I opt for this homemade Peanut Butter Mocha.

Made with rich peanut butter and decadent chocolate all swirled together with a boost of caffeine, this peanut butter latte studded with chocolate is so much better than anything I can purchase at a coffee chain! Not to mention, this peanut butter cup coffee is reminiscent of a Homemade Peanut Butter Cup.

With every sip, I feel myself relaxing and enjoying the moment. And the best part? This recipe for peanut butter coffee comes together in minutes!

Notes On Ingredients

  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Syrup: This is nothing more than cocoa powder, water, sugar, and peanut butter combined together to create a flavored coffee syrup. It takes just a few minutes to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Perfect for when the craving for peanut butter coffee strikes.
  • Milk: Use any milk you like, cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc. Keep in mind the higher fat the milk you use, the richer this mocha will taste.
  • Coffee: You can use either espresso or strongly brewed coffee. So don't worry if you don't have an espresso machine!
  • Whisk: To make coffee house lattes at home, the only tool you need is a hand-held whisk. It froths warmed milk perfectly in just 30 seconds.

recipe modifications

  • Short-Cut Option: Instead of making homemade peanut butter chocolate syrup, you can opt to simply combine 1 tablespoon of your favorite prepared chocolate syrup with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter whenever you want to make one peanut butter mocha.
  • Omit the Chocolate. If you are looking for a plain version of peanut butter coffee, simply omit adding the cocoa powder to the water and sugar. Once the simple syrup is prepared, whisk in the peanut butter to create peanut butter syrup to use in your lattes.
  • Omit the Peanut Butter: If you want a plain mocha, prepare the chocolate syrup as directed, omitting the peanut butter.

How to Make a Peanut Butter Mocha

Step One: Prepare the chocolate peanut butter syrup. Combine cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and water in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low. Stir until sugar and cocoa powder dissolve, about 2-3 minutes. Add peanut butter and stir while the syrup heats, for approximately 5 minutes. Remove syrup for heat and add in vanilla and a dash of salt.

Step Two: Heat the milk of choice. Heat ½ cup of milk of your choice in a heat-safe glass in the microwave for 45 seconds. Once heated, use the whisk to froth the milk by placing the handle in between the palms of your hands and quickly moving back and forth until the milk is bubbly. Check out my tips on how to make homemade lattes for a video tutorial on how this is done.

Step Three: Prepare peanut butter mocha. Combine the frothed milk, syrup to taste, and strong coffee in a coffee mug and enjoy. Top with homemade whipped cream if desired.

    I made peanut butter hot cocoa last night that I just LOVED and wanted something similar this morning for my coffee. I googled and found your recipe immediately, and having made your dishes several times lately, I knew it would be a good one! The syrup was too sweet for me (I used honey instead because I have so much and want to use it up) so I just added more pb (I'm a pb fiend). I didn't measure out the milk and coffee... just added the syrup to taste (definitely more than a tablespoon). What a morning treat! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!

    Awesome Recipe Kristen, I also like that with Chocolate, Starbucks always serve delicious coffee everytime but I can’t afford to go Starbucks café for that, as a mother of 3 kids. These k cups really works well, Me and my husband always try to grab this whenever we can. He also worked in a roasting company for few years and love to share his thoughts, recently he created a list of some good machines here for guys who love to drink fresh coffee with fresh ground beans.
