Published: Apr 12, 2016 · Last Updated: May 9, 2019

It should be no secret that I love coffee. I’d drink it five times a day if I could or if it were advisable. But, it’s not, so instead I rounded up 15 coffee recipes that make the most out of a variety of coffee related ingredients.

15 recipes that use coffee in unexpected and delicious ways!

15 Drool Worthy Recipes Using Coffee

Chocolate Coffee Rubbed Steak

Coconut Chili Chocolate Rubbed Steak

Like most people would, I immediately think of desserts and drinks when it comes to coffee recipes. So this chocolate coffee rubbed steak? Mind blown. The next time we have a date night in, this is for sure going on our menu.

Coffee Tequila Milkshake

via Feast + West

I just can’t help but include this one when it combines two of my favorite things. I don’t drink liquor often, but if I do, tequila is my liquor of choice. It makes total sense to combine these two things into a milkshake when 60% of the world’s organic coffee production comes from Mexico and tequila is from Mexico as well. Match made in heaven, right?

Sausage Breakfast Bread

Breakfast sausage bread with a secret coffee ingredient!

This bread’s secret ingredient is in fact, coffee. I can’t wait to try this breakfast bread and see how the heck my friend Stephanie managed to combine all of these fabulous ingredients into bread. But then again, I can’t figure out how it could be bad.

Coffee Toffee Brownie Bark

Coffee toffee brownie bark recipe.

This brownie bark recipe is exactly what I imagine coming up in a search for coffee related recipes. It’s a fairly well known trick to use coffee in a brownie mix instead of water because it really deepens the rich chocolate flavor. So this brownie bark is right up that alley and I can’t wait to try it sometime soon!

Irish Cream Coffee Truffles

Irish Cream Coffee Truffles.
The Crumby Cupcake is one of my favorite spots to stop and look for a decadent dessert recipe that is also easy to tackle. She makes these truffles look ridiculously easy!

Cedar Plank Salmon Sliders

via Garlic and Zest

Cedar plank salmon sliders made using coffee seasonings.

I’ll be honest in saying this is the last thing I would’ve thought of for a recipe for using coffee! I love the savory twist on a recipe with coffee. These salmon sliders definitely need to happen this summer!

Vegan Peanut Butter Espresso Cookies

via The Speckled Palate
A twist on the classic Peanut Blossom Cookies, these Vegan Peanut Butter Espresso Cookies are rich, crunchy and delicious. Vegan peanut butter and espresso cookies are drizzled with a chocolate espresso glaze that makes the cookies sing!
Could these cookies look any better? These vegan peanut butter and espresso glaze cookies would be perfect with a steaming up of coffee or a cappuccino!

Chocolate Espresso Dip

via Dip Recipe Creations

This espresso dip looks completely drool worthy. I can see it being the perfect afternoon snack and pick me up!

Coffee Syrup

via Kleinworth & Co
Coffee syrup, the perfect addition to breakfast waffles!
Breakfast is my favorite, mostly because it always involves coffee. So adding this coffee syrup to pancakes, French toast or waffles? Absolutely this is happening as soon as possible.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

This sour cream coffee cake looks perfect for breakfast, a snack OR dessert. Or all three, of course.

Coffee Toffee

via Completely Delicious

Every Christmas we have coffee toffee bars so these coffee toffee bites are right up my alley. Your typical toffee bites with coffee infused!

Chocolate Tres Leches Cake

Chocolate-Tres-Leches-mommyhoodsdiary
Tres leches cake is one of my all time favorite desserts, after working in a steakhouse that served it often! But when you add chocolate and espresso? This recipe looks insanely delicious.

Coffee Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream

via Cookie Dough and Oven Mitt

Coffee, coffee and more coffee, right? I could seriously go for one of these cupcakes, or a dozen.

Mocha Chocolate Cake

via Liv for Cake

Chocolate and coffee certainly always go together. And with a cake that is this gorgeous? It’s absolutely perfect.

Irish Coffee Pork Tenderloin

via The BBQ Bastard

I can’t get enough of these savory recipe ideas using coffee! I don’t always love pork, but I’m sure with this coffee rubbed pork recipe, I’ll totally be in.
