Once steaming, remove the pan from the heat and froth the milk.

Pour the bottom, liquid portion into a mug, on top of the shot of espresso. Scoop the remaining foam on top.

FAQ

Can you froth oat milk?

Yes. It doesn’t froth as well as cow’s milk, but it still does a much better job than almond milk.

What is barista oat milk?

Barista oat milk is oat milk that is specially made for lattes. It has a bit more fat so it will froth better and give a thicker latte texture compared to regular oat milk.

Expert Tips

  • If you don’t have an electric frother: After steaming the oat milk on the stove, add it to a blender and blend on low.
  • Don’t let the oat milk boil. Adjust the temperature as needed to allow the oat milk to heat up as close as possible to boiling, without actually boiling.

Description

This easy vegan oat milk latte is the best coffee to make on a cold, winter morning. Steamed oat milk, a shot of strong espresso, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of maple syrup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat milk*
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp maple syrup
  • 1 -2  shots espresso

Instructions

  1. Heat the oat milk, cinnamon and maple syrup together in a saucepan over medium to high heat. Whisk to dissolve the cinnamon. Heat the milk until it almost boils, but don’t let it actually boil.

  • If you don’t have an electric frother: After steaming the oat milk on the stove, add it to a blender and blend on low.
  • Don’t let the oat milk boil. Adjust the temperature as needed to allow the oat milk to heat up as close as possible to boiling, without actually boiling.
