Instructions
- Begin by bringing a cup of milk to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Avoid boiling the milk to maintain its sweetness.
- Stir in the Scottish oats into the simmering milk. Cook this mixture for about 3-4 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the espresso or strong coffee, your choice of honey or maple syrup for sweetness, a dash of cinnamon for a hint of spice, and vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Pour the oatmeal latte into a large mug. Serve it hot and enjoy this creamy, energizing beverage first thing in the morning or as a cozy afternoon pick-me-up.
Tips
- For a dairy-free version, you can use almond milk or oat milk.
- You can add some whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent touch.
- If you like your oatmeal latte a little thinner, simply add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
