Begin by preparing your espresso. Measure 18 grams of espresso coffee beans and grind them to a fine consistency.
Heat 90 milliliters of water to around 93°C (200°F) using a kettle or espresso machine boiler.
Place the espresso grounds into your espresso machine portafilter, tamping down evenly to ensure a smooth extraction.
Brew the espresso using your machine, aiming for around 30-35 milliliters of espresso in total, which should take about 25-30 seconds to extract properly.
While the espresso is brewing, heat 120 milliliters of low-carb oat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat or using a steam wand if available, until it's warm but not boiling.
Froth the oat milk using a milk frother or steam wand until it becomes creamy with a microfoam texture, similar to that used in lattes.
Once the espresso is ready, pour it into a preheated cup, ensuring it's the bottom layer.
Gently pour the frothed oat milk over the espresso, starting from a height to mix slightly and then bringing the pouring vessel closer to the cup to form a creamy top layer.
Serve the low-carb oat milk flat white immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of strong espresso and creamy oat milk.
