Keto Maple Pecan Christmas Coffee is a sugar-free holiday latte featuring butter-toasted pecans, keto maple syrup, heavy cream, cinnamon, and hot coffee. This Keto Maple Pecan Christmas Coffee delivers creamy festive flavor without sugar, making it a perfect cozy low-carb drink for holiday mornings or dessert-style sipping.

About This Recipe

Keto Maple Pecan Christmas Coffee is built for the cold-season craving: a sweet holiday latte without syrup sugar, corn syrup, or oat milk. The base of the drink is simple—freshly brewed hot coffee blended with heavy cream and a sugar-free maple sweetener. Instead of relying on bottled holiday mixes, the pecan element comes from warming chopped pecans in butter to release aroma and create a toasted nut flavor. The result is a high-fat drink that mirrors a specialty café latte but stays keto.

The drink balances creaminess and spice. Cinnamon leans into the Christmas mood, and nutmeg adds roundness without overwhelming the maple. Because pecans hold more flavor after heating, they act like a natural extract—once stirred into the cream-and-sweetener blend, they deliver both texture and aroma. You can spoon some pecans directly into the coffee or strain them if you only want flavor extraction. Topping is optional but recommended: sugar-free whipped cream plus a short drizzle of keto maple syrup gives the drink a dessert-style finish.

This drink replaces Starbucks-style holiday lattes but avoids milk spikes and sugary syrups. Heavy cream stabilizes blood sugar better than milk, and butter contributes a richer mouthfeel. The macros stay consistent with a fat-first keto drink, but calories remain reasonable for a seasonal treat.

The recipe works as a breakfast drink, a late-afternoon warm-up, or a dessert replacement. It pairs with Christmas cookies and sweet keto desserts, especially anything pecan or ginger-spiced. If you need another keto seasonal dessert to pair with this drink, try Keto Cinnamon Roll Truffle Balls. For a creamy fruit contrast, Keto Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake (Moist, Bright & Low-Carb) also fits.

The drink can be scaled up for a thermos or served individually. Pecans can be blended smooth if you prefer no texture. Presentation stays clean because toppings get added after pouring. Stored components work fine—the pecans will keep in butter in the fridge for several days—so you can assemble a cup anytime.
