A warm, sweet, and cozy brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte that recreates the magic of a beloved café drink. This easy homemade recipe uses simple ingredients and a special technique to create a smooth, creamy, and delicious latte in just five minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus a tiny pinch for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 cup oat milk (barista blend preferred)
  • 1 shot espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Coconut whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the brown sugar cinnamon syrup: In a small bowl or directly in your mug, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and hot water. Whisk vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Heat and froth the oat milk: Pour the oat milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until steaming hot but not boiling (around 150°F). Remove from heat and froth using a handheld frother, French press, or whisk for 20-30 seconds until doubled in volume with a layer of foam.
  3. Brew your coffee or espresso: While the milk is heating, brew your espresso shot or strong coffee. Have it ready at the same time as your milk.
  4. Assemble the latte: Pour the brown sugar cinnamon syrup into your mug first. Slowly pour the hot coffee or espresso over the syrup, stirring gently to combine. Add the pinch of sea salt and stir again. Pour the frothed oat milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon so the liquid milk goes in first, then spoon the foam on top.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon over the foam. If using vanilla extract, add it to the coffee before pouring the milk. Serve immediately while hot and foamy.

Notes

Don’t overheat the oat milk to prevent separation. Make extra syrup and store in the fridge for up to two weeks. Warm your mug first to keep the latte hot longer. Play with the ratios to suit your taste.
