In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, water, and a pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the oats for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have absorbed most of the water and become creamy, stirring occasionally.
While the oats are cooking, prepare your espresso or strong coffee shot using your preferred method.
Once the oats have cooked, stir in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, and almond butter until everything is well combined.
Add the maple syrup, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir continuously until the mixture is thoroughly heated and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Finally, pour in the freshly brewed espresso or coffee shot, stirring until you have a homogenous latte-like consistency.
Divide the oatmeal latte between two mugs or bowls. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or a drizzle of extra almond butter.
Serve immediately for a warm and satisfying high-protein breakfast.
