Maple Leaf Frappe

September 23, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 30 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Is it just me or does it seems Pete’s Coffee is really advertising their Maple Frappucino?  I happened to go to Pete’s because I was intrigued and I wanted to try the frappe or latte, but to my surprise, well not really a surprise, but the calories are insanely high and I mean over 300 calories!  Insane!  I couldn’t do it!!  I didn’t want to drink my calories, so I skipped it.  But the thought of a maple frappe stuck in my head!  So what does one do to cut calories, save money and make a kaboodle amounts of a drink?  Make it yourself!

Maple Leaf Frappe

Making it myself was a great idea!!  Boy oh boy is this good! It’s sweet, buttery and the flavor of maple syrup. I always knew I liked maple syrup but to make a drink with the flavoring of maple, yes please!! This drink is very light, fluffy due to the fact that I used xanthan gum to thicken it up. This coffee drink is more like a milkshake than a frappe, but oh so good!!  To give it just a little more pop, I added a dollop of fat free whip cream and a drizzle of maple syrup over the top.  I don’t think I could have to much maple syrup?  Ohh, maybe next time I’ll pour some in the glass first??  The I ‘ll really get a nice maple flavor.  Oh that might be maple flavoring overkill?
Maple Leaf Frappe
This recipe makes over 5 cups of pure maple sweetness! It’s enough to share with 2, 3 or 4 people!! And get this, I almost fell over when I did the calorie count! I made the serving size for two, for those who really like their frappes and the calories per serving is 35! Yes you read that correct 35 calories. What the??? The reason is I only used 1 tsp of maple syrup and I used maple extract for additional flavoring. Using extracts is a real calorie savor!!! If you drank all 5 cups it would only be 70 calories. Love you Pete’s, but this has you beat!!!

Maple Leaf Frappe
I have to say it has been a while since I posted a Coffee drink. I have been cutting back a little bit on it, since I was getting a little to out of control. For those who don’t like coffee, I am sure this drink will taste delicious made with just milk or even coconut milk. I am unsure how it would be with almond milk?


Have a super great Monday!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

The xanthan gum tends to grow and it pushed my whip cream right out!

    What does the xanthan gum do? What will happen if I don’t add that?

      September 23, 2013 at 6:55 PM

      Hi Brenna,

      Xanthan Gum is a thickener and helps to prevent the frappe from separating. I make drinks without it all the time. It has no effect on flavor. From what I understand, not sure about this, but Starbucks also uses in there Frappucinos. You don’t need it in this drink!

    I love all things coffee (and peanut butter, but that’s another story…) and this sounds wonderful! Where do you buy xanthan gum?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      September 25, 2013 at 9:05 PM

      Xanthan Gum is a thickner and is really needed for the drink, but if you want to get it, it’s made by Bob’s Red Mill. I bought mine at the health food section of the grocery store. It’s kind of pricey ($11 – $13.00 a bag), but a bag will last way over a year. I store mine in the fridge.

      Oh and I love all things coffee too!! But I am sure you know that and Peanut butter is without saying! 🙂

      Hi Kelly, Try processing it in the blender longer. Mine could be a little fluffier because I used Xanthum Gum? I’m glad the flavor worked out. I bet almond milk made it taste super yummy. Great idea!

    I love coffee drinks. I don’t drink them often because of all of the calories, but this looks like the best of both worlds! I love maple and will be trying this soon. Thanks so much for stopping by and linking this up to last week’s Weekend Potluck. Have a great rest of the week!

This weekend I worked on my bar cart and let me tell you that I am loving the orange color and all the carrots and bunnies. So much fun!!

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
