Start your mornings off right with this irresistibly creamy Dairy-Free Oatmeal Latte, a warm, blended beverage that combines the comforting texture of oatmeal with the robust flavor of espresso. Perfect for those seeking a plant-based coffee option, this recipe uses unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and a hint of vanilla and cinnamon for natural sweetness and aromatic depth. Ready in just 15 minutes, itβs both nourishing and indulgent, with old-fashioned rolled oats creating a velvety-smooth latte texture without any dairy. Itβs the ultimate wholesome pick-me-up, ideal for coffee lovers and oat enthusiasts alike. Serve it steaming hot with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a cozy, barista-worthy treat at home.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the water, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add the almond milk to the saucepan with the cooked oats and heat gently, stirring continuously to incorporate and warm the milk, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the instant espresso powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into a blender and blend on high until smooth and frothy, about 1-2 minutes. Be cautious if the mixture is hot to avoid spills and burns.
Carefully pour the blended latte into a large mug.
Optionally, sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, dairy-free oatmeal latte.
