Ingredients & Substitutions
I often make my own oat milk using rolled oats and water in a blender, which is super easy and allows me to control the sweetness. Just blend 1 cup of oats with 4 cups of water, strain it, and voilà! If you’re in a pinch, store-bought oat milk works wonderfully too, just make sure it’s unsweetened to keep the flavors balanced.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my oat milk in a glass jar - it stays fresh for days and looks pretty in the fridge.
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a dash of nutmeg or even a splash of your favorite plant-based creamer for extra richness!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a mocha twist if I’m craving chocolate.
- •If I want a little more spice, I add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Storage & Freezing
If you have leftover oat milk, just store it in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Shake it well before using, as it can separate. I usually make just enough for my morning lattes to keep it fresh!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other plant milks?
Absolutely! Almond milk or soy milk can be great alternatives, but I find oat milk gives the best creaminess for lattes.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Brew a strong cup of coffee using your favorite method. I love using a French press, but a drip coffee maker works just as well.
- 2
While the coffee brews, gently heat the oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
- 3
Once the oat milk is warm (not boiling!), remove it from the heat and whisk it vigorously to create some froth. If you have a milk frother, now’s the time to use it!
- 4
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the brewed coffee and stir well.
- 5
Pour the frothed oat milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create layers.
- 6
Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like, and enjoy your cozy oat milk latte!
