Iced Starbucks Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte
The Starbucks fall menu release almost feels like it’s a holiday sometimes! I love a new drink comes out and when we can taste all the warm flavors of autumn at the turn of the season. It’s something I look forward to every year and I was so excited when they announced this new, fun latte!
After tasting the Iced Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte I knew I needed to make it at home. The pecan flavor comes through and it’s SO creamy. The pecans add flavor to the maple syrup base and then get used as the crunchy sprinkle over the top (my favorite). You’ll love how easy and over-the-top tasty iced latte is!

Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte ingredients
This easy latte recipe has only 5 individual ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
Pecan Crunch Syrup
- Pecans – Use plain, raw pecans for this recipe. You will toast them just a bit before making the syrup for an even deeper nutty flavor. The pecans also get used for the pecan crunch topping.
- Maple Syrup – Maple syrup is the perfect base for the pecan syrup recipe. It’s sweet and the maple flavor compliments the pecans without overpowering them.
Iced Pecan Latte
- Espresso – I make espresso in my Nespresso machine (that I’m COMPLETELY obsessed with). You can also use instant espresso powder to make it quickly at home, too!
- Oat Milk – This barista blend oat milk is thick, creamy, and the ideal texture for making dairy-free lattes at home! You can also substitute with other milks like 2%, soy milk, or even pecan milk if you really want that pecan flavor to come through.
- Pecan Syrup – I highly recommend making your own syrup because it’s so easy, but if you’d rather buy it there are a few high quality store-bought pecan syrup options out there.

How to Store the Pecan Syrup
The homemade pecan syrup makes about 1/4 cup, or enough for 2 lattes. So if you’re only make 1 drink, you can store the leftover syrup in a glass mason jar or small syrup container and keep it at room temperature for up to 5-7 days! You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
TIP: Feel free to double or even triple the syrup ingredients to make a big batch and have Iced Oatmilk Pecan Lattes all week long!
Oatmilk Latte FAQs
Sure! Follow the same recipe but add warmed oat milk to the latte, and for the topping, warm the Oatmilk, vanilla, and maple syrup and then froth it for a warm topping.
Not at all! If you prefer to use regular milk, I suggest using 2% in the latte, and heavy cream to make the cold foam so it’s nice and thick.
The latte has a warm nutty flavor that is reminiscent of homemade pecan pie. Combine that with dark, earthy espresso and the flavors are rich and bold. It’s full of rich brown buttery notes.
Oat milk, especially the barista blends, are super creamy compared to other plant-based milks like almond. It also has a subtle oat flavor that is perfect for a fall drink.
A “shot” of espresso is a small but mighty serving of concentrated coffee, typically about 1.5 ounces. In this recipe, two shots (or about 3 ounces) of espresso provide the bold, rich coffee flavor that balances perfectly with the sweet and nutty pecan syrup. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can substitute with a strong brew of coffee, but the depth of flavor won’t be quite the same!
