This Maple Cinnamon Oat Milk Latte is a warm, cozy, and naturally sweet coffee drink made with smooth oat milk, pure maple syrup, and fragrant cinnamon. Perfect for chilly mornings or relaxing evenings, this dairy-free latte is simple to prepare yet rich in flavor—an ideal choice for anyone who enjoys comforting café-style drinks at home.

Ingredients
    For the Latte
  • 1 cup oat milk (barista blend recommended for better froth)
  • 1–2 shots espresso (or ⅓ cup strong brewed coffee)
  • 1.5 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added warmth)
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg (optional, enhances aroma)
    • For Topping
  • A light sprinkle of ground cinnamon
  • Frothed oat milk (amount as desired)
Instructions
    Prepare the Espresso
  1. 1
    Brew 1–2 shots of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. If you don’t have espresso, brew very strong coffee. Set it aside while you prepare the milk.
    2. Heat the Oat Milk
  2. 2
    Pour the oat milk into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Heat only until it reaches about 70–75°C—hot but not boiling. Boiling can affect the texture of the oat milk, making it less smooth.
    3. Mix in the Maple Syrup & Cinnamon
  3. 3
    Whisk the warmed oat milk gently with maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using). Continue whisking until the blend becomes aromatic and slightly frothy. This step helps the cinnamon dissolve evenly.
    4. Froth the Milk
  4. 4
    Use a handheld frother, electric frother, or French press to froth the warm milk until it reaches a creamy, velvety texture. Reserve a few spoonfuls of the foam for topping.
    5. Combine Coffee & Milk
  5. 5
    Pour the brewed espresso into your favorite mug. Slowly add the maple-cinnamon oat milk mixture, letting the foam rise to the top. Spoon extra foam on top for a café-style finish.
    6. Add the Finishing Touch
  6. 6
    Dust a small amount of cinnamon on top for aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately while hot.
Note
  • Sweetness Level: You can adjust the maple syrup to taste—start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed.
  • Foam Tip: Barista-style oat milk froths best due to added stabilizers.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a cinnamon stick while heating the milk for deeper flavor.
  • Iced Version: Cool the milk mixture, pour over ice, and skip heating/frothing.
  • Storage: Best consumed immediately; reheating may reduce foam quality.
