    Why this recipe works

    This recipe is:

    • Easy to make
    • Ready in under 5 minutes!
    • Free of refined sugar
    • Dairy free

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed to make a honey cinnamon latte.

    Espresso

    This recipe calls for a double shot of espresso. You can use an espresso machine, aeropress, or Moka pot. You can also use a french press to make regular strong coffee. 

    Honey

    I try to use local honey when possible. 

    Oat Milk 

    Use your favorite oat milk here. I love whole milk for its creamy texture. You can use regular whole milk, or a barista version which makes a better froth. You can also make this homemade latte with other types of non-dairy milk, like unsweetened almond milk. 

    Ground cinnamon

    Cinnamon adds a spicy warmth to this drink. You can also garnish with cinnamon sticks!

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements. 

    What is the best clean oat milk to use?

    The best oat milk should be creamy, froths well, and be free from additional chemicals and preservatives. I love eating healthy and clean when I can, so I often check the labels on store bought ingredients. When searching for a clean oat milk brand, I look for ones that have:

    • Few ingredients (think: oats, water and salt - the fewer the better)
    • No gums (like xanthan gum)
    • No oils (like canola oil, rapeseed oil)
    • Glyphosate* free oats or organic oats or gluten free oats

    *Glyphosate is an ingredient in pesticides that is toxic to plants. Unfortunately it is found in some non-organic ingredients. Wheats and grains can have higher levels of glyphosate and are better if purchased as glyphosate free, organic or gluten free.

    Variations

    • Make it vegan - To make this a vegan latte, swap out the honey for agave or simple syrup. 
    • Make it sweeter - You can always add more honey to sweeten this drink. 
    • Make it hot - serve this latte as is for a cozy beverage on a cold morning. 
    • Make it cold - If iced coffee is more your jam, pour this latte over ice.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you reheat this latte?

    Yes! Pour the latte into a sauce pan. Heat on low and stir frequently for a few minutes. Once the latte is at the desired temperature, pour the latte into your mug!

    Is oat milk gluten free?

    Not always. Oat milk can be sometimes contaminated with gluten if they are processed in facilities that handle gluten containing ingredients. If you are celiac or have a stronger gluten intolerance, look for gluten-free certified oats.

    How to froth milk without a frother?

    You don’t need a fancy frother to froth your milk at home (although you can get inexpensive ones online!). Heat milk in a small saucepan on the stove while whisking until milk is frothy and bubbly.
