Skip the coffee shop drive thru and make a delicious Oat Milk Latte at home! Sip away and enjoy this refreshingly smooth, rich espresso topped with an oat milk foam at home.
Using a milk frother on the max foam setting, froth the oat milk.
Carefully pour the oat milk into the mug with the espresso.
Enjoy!
Notes
There is literally so much you can do to make this recipe your own!
I like to stir a bit of maple syrup into the espresso, then pour the frothed oat milk on top, and finally top with some ground cinnamon.
If you don't own a milk frother, then the best way to get frothy milk is with a blender.
Make sure that your blender is meant to handle hot liquids—it should have steam escape holes.
To use a blender, first heat the oat milk, then blend on high for 30 seconds to a minute.
You can also whisk the oat milk while heating it over the stove, however this method takes the most effort.
You can add a splash of vanilla and some sugar to the espresso to make it a sweet treat!
If you don't have an espresso machine, use double-strength coffee (about ¼ cup).
I also tested this recipe with instant espresso powder—follow the instructions on the package to get a shot of instant espresso, then proceed with the instructions
I find that adding the flavorings, sugars, etc. is best when stirred into the espresso, before adding the milk.
You can also buy flavored oat milks (ex. sweetened vanilla) to make this extra tasty!
