Ingredients
  

Homemade Cinnamon Roll Syrup

  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (can sub vanilla extract, just ensure you don't add it until the syrup has cooled)
  • 8 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (can sub regular brown sugar if not paleo or brown sugar substitute for sugar free)

Cinnamon Roll Latte

  • 2 shots espresso (⅛-¼ cup strong coffee)
  • 2-4 tbsp cinnamon roll syrup
  • ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I use Three Trees for the best froth!)
  • 2 tbsp coffee creamer (I use nutpods unsweetened cookie butter for amazing taste with no added sugar)

Garnishes (Optional)

  • 2 tbsp vanilla almond milk, frothed
  • cinnamon dusting

Instructions
 

Homemade Cinnamon Roll Syrup

  • In a pot on the stove, combine all ingredients over medium/high heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Note that if you are using vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste, add the extract after the syrup has cooled.
  • Once boiling, bring the heat down a touch and allow to simmer for 5 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved, continuing to stir.
  • Once the syrup ingredients are fully combined and no sugar remains, remove the pot from heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Strain the syrup into a jar with a lid and keep refrigerated. I like to keep the cinnamon sticks in the syrup to make the flavor super robust. This syrup can be enjoyed in coffee or cocktails!

Cinnamon Roll Latte - Hot

  • Add the cinnamon roll syrup to your glass/mug that you'll be brewing into and brew your favorite espresso to your liking. Mix once brewed to combine.
  • Froth together coffee creamer and milk on the hot setting.
  • Pour the frothed milk overtop of the coffee and syrup, then dust with cinnamon over the top. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Roll Latte - Iced

  • Brew your favorite espresso to your liking and allow it to chill/cool down.
  • Fill a glass with ice and pour your syrup over top.
  • Then, forth the coffee creamer and milk together on the cold setting. Pour that over the ice and syrup.
  • Pour your espresso over the top and mix everything together.
  • If you'd like, froth 2 additional tbsp of milk on the cold setting, the pour it on top to create a fluffy, frosted cinnamon roll look.
  • Dust the top with cinnamon and enjoy!
