The coffee syrup this month is Maple Blueberry. I had the most delicious blueberry pancake latte at my local coffee shop recently, and haven’t been able to get it out of my head. So, naturally, I had to try and recreate it for myself. This syrup uses only 5-6 ingredients and takes less than 20 minutes, as with most of my coffee syrup recipes. The more I continue to make coffee syrup from home, the more I realize how easy it is!
My favorite part about this coffee syrup is its other uses! I have been using this as both a maple syrup and coffee syrup. I have to say, it tastes almost better than the diner. If you solely wish to use this syrup on pancakes, I recommend swapping the measurements of maple syrup and water from this recipe. This will add in more maple flavor while also thickening the mixture slightly. You can also keep the blueberries unstrained and add it on top of ice cream.

Maple Blueberry coffee syrup brings the flavors of blueberry pancakes into drink form. Use this as a coffee syrup, or add it on top of pancakes with some lemon curd. Great for iced lattes while enjoying the warm Spring weather.
Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup blueberries
- 2/3 Cup water
- 1/2 Cup maple sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp maple extract, (optional)
Directions
- Mix: In a small saucepan, whisk together the water and maple sugar. Add in the blueberries and cinnamon. Turn the stove on medium heat, and stir constantly until the maple syrup dissolves into the water.
- Simmer: Continue to stir frequently until the mixture reaches a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes, until most berries have burst, then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla.
- Store: Strain the syrup into a glass storage container. Using a spatula, smush as much of the liquid out of the berries as possible. Allow to cool completely before storing in the fridge. Keeps for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
1. For a more maple-forward flavor, add in 1/4 tsp maple extract when adding the vanilla.
2. To make this strictly a pancake syrup, swap the maple syrup and water measurements.
