Cozy, creamy, and kissed with nutty-sweet magic, this Hazelnut Maple Cappuccino is your new autumn (or anytime) obsession. With the rich roast of espresso, buttery maple syrup, and warm hazelnut crunch, it feels like sipping comfort in a cup. Whether you’re easing into the day or winding down, this velvety treat delivers café-quality indulgence at home.

Topped with frothy milk, a drizzle of golden maple syrup, and chopped hazelnuts for texture, this cappuccino is a sensory delight. It balances the bold bitterness of coffee with mellow sweetness and a nutty aroma that instantly relaxes you. Best of all? It only takes minutes to create, no barista required.

What Kind of Milk Frother Should I Use?

Any frother will work—handheld, electric, or steam wand. But for that true cappuccino foam, a steam wand gives the most luxurious, creamy microfoam. If you’re using a handheld frother, heat the milk before frothing. Oat or whole milk create the best foam texture.

Ingredients for the Hazelnut Maple Cappuccino

• Espresso or strongly brewed coffee – This is the backbone of the cappuccino. Choose a bold roast for rich depth.
• Milk (whole, oat, or your favorite) – Needed for the classic cappuccino foam and creamy balance.
• Maple syrup – Adds a natural sweetness with cozy, earthy notes. Real maple syrup makes a difference!
• Hazelnut extract or syrup – Brings that toasty, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with maple.
• Chopped hazelnuts – For crunch and presentation. Lightly toast them for extra aroma.
• Whipped cream (optional) – Adds decadence, especially for a dessert-style treat.

How To Make the Hazelnut Maple Cappuccino

Step 1: Brew the Espresso

Start by brewing one or two shots of espresso using your machine, Moka pot, or French press with strong coffee.

Step 2: Froth the Milk

Warm your milk of choice, then froth it using a steam wand or frother until it’s airy and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3: Flavor Your Mug

Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of hazelnut extract or syrup to the bottom of your mug.

Step 4: Pour and Froth

Pour the hot espresso over the maple-hazelnut mix. Stir well. Slowly add frothed milk on top, holding back foam, then spoon the foam to finish.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy

Drizzle more maple syrup on top and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. Add whipped cream if desired. Sip while hot and cozy!

Serving and Storing Hazelnut Maple Cappuccino

Serve this cappuccino immediately after making it for the best flavor and foam consistency. If you’d like to prep ahead, mix the maple and hazelnut flavoring into a small jar and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just shake and pour into your next cup for a fast flavor boost.

Avoid storing frothed milk or espresso separately for too long—freshness matters in every sip.
