Switch up your morning coffee with this ULTRA creamy and frothy SunButter Latte – nut-free, dairy-free, and delicious hot or iced!

When I moved into my new apartment a couple months ago my very sweet mom got me an espresso machine as a housewarming gift, and it was a semi life changing moment.
(Maybe) down side: I drink way more coffee and way less matcha now. Probably not the best for my sleep cycles, but I do get more done. So it’s a toss up.
Up sides: It’s better coffee, tastier coffee, stronger coffee, freshly ground coffee. The process is a little more involved than pour over, but I’ve come to really enjoy that part too. And biggest upside of all, it led to the creation of this SunButter Latte.
Because when you are out of almond milk but still craving a CREAMY latte, beautiful things are born of digging through the pantry and getting creative. What I discovered was blending water with a tablespoon of SunButter and a shot of espresso makes for a just as creamy (creamier?) latte without any milk, and the flavor is uniquely wonderful too.
If you aren’t a fan of SunButter a) reconsider your life choices and b) this recipe is not for you. This recipe is for people who love SunButter and always have a jar or three in the pantry and eat it by the spoonful not infrequently and want to consume it in every form possible.
Because yes, you will taste the not-exactly-nutty-but-uniquely-delicious flavor of SunButter. And yes if you dress it up with a little cinnamon and vanilla it will be your new favorite way to coffee.
This is not a fancy beverage. All it requires is:
- Espresso or freshly brewed coffee
- Sweetener of choice (I used coconut sugar, but maple syrup or honey would be amazing too!)
- SunButter (I used the organic kind, but any will work)
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla or cinnamon or other flavorings like that
And then you just blend. For half a minute or so. And are rewarded with the most fluffy, frothy, you deserve it mug of coffee.
I usually drink it warm, but iced works too. In case you also live somewhere that has forgotten what winter is.
So try it! And I will be here, sipping my own SunButter Latte, anxiously awaiting your opinion…

I don’t drink coffee much anymore (sometimes I miss it on a cold morning!) but I’ll bet this would be great in my French Roast Teeccino. Can’t wait to try it.
Yes absolutely! I love that idea☕️🤗
Hi Natalie,
I just tried this with almond butter and a bit of vanilla and it was AMAZING. You should win a prize for this brilliant and creative idea. I think I like this more than the standard latte with veg milk. Thank you from the bottom of my foodie heart. Too good to be true!!
Wahoooooo🤗🤗 I am so so happy you tried it, I bet it’s delish with AB too! You are too sweet, thank you for the wonderfully kind feedback Jojo and happy Friday❤️
Oh wow! This is so good! I use an acid-free coffee and didn’t even add the hot water! Loved it straight with the shot of espresso only! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I am one of your biggest fans because you create the most interesting, awesomely healthy, and good-tasting recipes!

That’s a great idea! I bet it was deliciously strong without the water, so happy you gave it a try and thanks for the kind words Sheryl <3
OMG this is so delicious. I tried it with the sunbutter and then a mixed nut butter the second time. Both are incredible!! And I love that the fat and protein keeps me full! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!

Oooh I bet the nutty version was delish too😋😋 I am so happy you tried it, thanks for the feedback!
I don’t know why I was so hesitant to make this seeing as I use tahini in my coffee a lot 😂 but I’m happy to report that I’ve made this the last two mornings!! I’m kind of obsessed with the flavor and holy creamy!! Way creamier than using a plant-based milk and the froth…amazing! Such a wonderful roasted, nut-like flavor with caramel-y undertones (thanks to coconut sugar) and I used a touch of vanilla too! Definitely putting this in my coffee rotation 😍😍😍
P.S. – I love these photos!!! And those mugs are stunning! ❤️
P.P.S. – I’m jealous that you have an espresso machine! That was so nice of your mom!

Well whaddya know I’ve been wanting to try it with tahini but kinda scared, so I guess it’s time for me to venture out and give it a shot too (do you have to use extra sweetener to offset the bitter?). But I am so happy you liked it with sunbutter too!! I’ve gotten reviews saying its good with almond butter and pb as well, so many options🤗 The mugs are my fave, from Anthro (why must their kitchen stuff all be so pretty?!?!) And it’s always fun to find new ways to coffee, and yes I thank my mom every day for that thing😍😂 xoxo
Yummmm! What a great idea! Enjoying now!! Don’t have coffee on hand but have espresso powder for baking and it worked great!

I am so happy you liked it!! And great idea on the espresso powder instead, that’s so easy🤗 Thanks for sharing, and enjoy Lori!
