Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Cookie Latte Base
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon butter (salted or unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strong coffee
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the flavored oat milk: In a small pot, combine the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat on low while stirring gently until the butter and sugar are fully melted and well combined, creating a smooth mixture.
- Add oat milk and warm: Pour in the oat milk into the pot with the melted mixture. Continue heating on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the oat milk mixture is warm but not boiling, allowing the flavors to fully meld.
- Prepare coffee: While the oat milk mixture warms, brew or heat 1/4 cup of strong coffee and pour it into your favorite mug.
- Froth the oat milk mixture: Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a light froth from the warmed oat milk mixture.
- Combine and serve: Pour the frothed oat milk mixture over the coffee in the mug carefully, creating a layered effect if possible.
- Add toppings: Top your latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired for a delightful crunch and extra flavor.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor the warming, sweet, and nutty flavors reminiscent of a classic oatmeal cookie in latte form.
Notes
- Use strong coffee or espresso for the best flavor balance with the sweetness of the oat milk mixture.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your desired sweetness level.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based whipped cream and ensure butter is replaced with a plant-based alternative.
- Optional toppings such as cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm spice note that complements the oatmeal cookie flavor.
- Be careful not to overheat the oat milk to prevent curdling.
