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!

      I never heard of it until I saw it appear on Pete’s menu. It’s very good especially if you love your maple syrup. It is definitely guilt-free!

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

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      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! 🙂

    I uses almond milk! It’s delicious, but a little icy and not as fluffy as the pictures. Any ideas why? Thanks!

      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!

    Hello Jennifer~
    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!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying.

Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
