Description
A creamy, naturally sweet, and frothy vegan latte made with barista-style oat milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Ready in just 5 minutes, this drink offers a coffee-shop-quality experience at home without dairy or refined sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups strong coffee or espresso (dark roast recommended)
- 1 cup barista-style oat milk (cold)
- 1–2 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Extra cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Brew your coffee using a French press, AeroPress, or instant espresso powder. Set aside in your mug.
- Pour the cold oat milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling (small bubbles around edges).
- Remove the milk from heat and stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until dissolved.
- Froth the hot milk using a handheld frother for 30-45 seconds until it doubles in volume and becomes thick and creamy. Alternatively, shake in a mason jar and microwave for 30 seconds to set foam.
- Pour the hot coffee into the mug.
- Spoon the frothed oat milk on top of the coffee.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately.
Notes
Use barista-style oat milk for the best foam. Do not boil the milk as it can scald and change the flavor. Real maple syrup is essential for flavor depth; avoid pancake syrup. The drink is best served immediately as the foam collapses after about 10 minutes.
