Ingredients & Substitutions
I love oat milk for its creamy texture, but feel free to use almond or soy milk if that's your jam! Just remember that different milks can froth differently. For the caramel sauce, you can make it from scratch or use a store-bought vegan version if you're short on time.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my homemade caramel in a glass jar in the fridge, and it lasts for a couple of weeks.
- •If you want a more intense caramel flavor, let it cook a bit longer until it darkens.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a warm, spicy kick.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I might add a shot of hazelnut syrup for a nutty twist.
Storage & Freezing
If you’re making extra caramel sauce, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just warm it up a bit before using it again!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by making your espresso or strong brewed coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, just brew your favorite coffee strong.
- 2
While your coffee is brewing, heat the oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir it gently, and keep an eye on it to avoid scalding.
- 3
Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), whisk it vigorously to create some froth. If you have a milk frother, now’s the time to use it!
- 4
In a large mug, combine the warm oat milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well.
- 5
Pour the brewed espresso over the oat milk mixture. You’ll see that lovely contrast of colors!
- 6
Drizzle the homemade caramel sauce on top and, if you like, add some whipped coconut cream for an extra special touch.
- 7
Give it a gentle stir, take a moment to inhale that delicious aroma, and enjoy your homemade Caramel Macchiato!
