    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 (affiliate link), 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.

    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. 

    Expert Tips

    Frothing Oat Milk:

    We all love that beautiful foam on the top of a latte. However, frothing oat milk can be slightly complicated, even if it is the most similar in frothing to dairy milk. 

    Start with a milk frother (affiliate link) or steam wand, but you can also try frothing oat milk in a blender or shaking it in a closed container or jar (not while scalding hot!). 

    Check out my post on frothing oat milk for more tips! 

    Reheating:

    Pour the oat milk latte into a sauce pot or pan and reheat over medium-heat until heated through completely. Don’t let the milk come to a boil but let it gently warm, as some milks (dairy or non-dairy) can curdle or separate.

    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 do you 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. Check out my post on frothing oat milk for more tips and 8 ways to froth oat milk!
