Are you talking about flavored coffee (final product) or flavored beans, or both?  It is possible to created flavored beans which will result in flavored coffee by adding oils to beans.

Is there a method to create flavored coffee without using syrups or other sweeteners?

I believe there are several ways to make flavoured coffees without syrup or sweetener.

For example, I make vanilla coffee by mixing fresh vanilla seeds with finely ground medium-roast coffee, and seal the mixture for some time (duration depends on the weather). The result is quite nice, with a slight touch of vanilla. This is *not* a product---just for personal use and still exploring. The difference with syrup or essence or flavouring is that the touch feels lighter and more natural.
