How to Make an Oatmeal Latte. {Video!}
Um, hi. We’re doing this.
I feel like this is a post for Monday because CAFFEINE but this is also a post for the weekend because it’s heaven in a cup that you can sit and enjoy while you read the paper. And by “read the paper,” I mean scroll through your instagram and snapchat and newsroom app updates. You know, the 2016 paper.
My mom still reads the paper though. She might be the only one.
Can I just shout from the rooftops how freaking in LOVE I am with this drink-breakfast hybrid?!
And oatmeal isn’t even my… thing.
From the moment I saw this oatmeal latte – an article written on bon appetite – late last summer, I was dyyying to make it. Seriously, it’s been on my list for at least six months and I’ve considered it every single week.
Finally, we’re doing it. It’s a hug in a mug.
First, I love the reactions to the oatmeal latte – the “should I sip or scoop” – because apparently the answer is both! And it totally is. It’s a caffeine boost with brown sugar oatmeal and if you’re a breakfast lover, it might be everything you’ve ever wanted.
You whip rolled oats with some steamed milk and brown sugar. And salt! A little touch of salt. Salt is key here. Scoop it into your mug and hit it with a shot (or two) (or three) of espresso. aka, life blood.
The whole thing mixes together and it LOOKS like a drink, and it sort of is – you can certainly sip it to get that first morning jolt. But it’s best consumed with a spoon, so you get bites of brown sugary oatmeal and creamy milk and coffee.
Together in one bowl.
I simply cannot.
The whole thing is topped with a sprinkling of granola which may sound weird, but it’s not granola sitting on straight liquid. Obviously. It’s like crunchy granola on top of your cappuccino-flavored oatmeal. I used this maple nut crunch granola from Nicole and it was to die for. It has cashews! It’s the most addictive thing ever, right next to this oatmeal latte.
Which is probably why I paired them together.
You neeeed to try this if you love coffee and oatmeal. You can adjust the flavors accordingly – do you like more or less sweetness in your breakfast? Do you drink espresso shots or prefer lattes? Heck, make it into a Starbucks-version with tons of hazelnut syrup. It make take a time or two to figure out YOUR perfect oatmeal latte combo but it’s 1. worth it and 2. definitely worth it since you can eat all the first (couple of) tries.
Now I’m going to drink one of these and tell you how much I love you. Sometimes caffeine makes me feel drunk.
Oatmeal Latte
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 or 4! shots of espresso
- granola for topping
Instructions
- Place the oats and 1 1/2 cups of milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the salt and cinnamon. Stir to combine. In the meantime, froth or steam the remaining 1 cup of milk. Add about 3/4 cup of the steamed, frothed milk to the oats. Cook, stirring often, until the oats are super creamy and milky. Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining milk. Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract.
- Spoon the oatmeal into two mugs equally. Top each with a shot or 2 of espresso. Finish off with some granola on top. Sip and spoon!

This looks so interesting & delicious! Definitely going to try it!
Can I also ask what nail polish you’re wearing in these pictures? It’s such a perfect shade of pink! ?
My espresso machine has never been this excited to make something. Amazing!
did you know at the Max Brenner chocolate bar they have “hug mugs” I’m pretty sure its the best purchase I’ve made in a while and TOTALLY something you should check out :)
oh my gosh, NEED one!
your mom isn’t the only one who reads the paper! I do, too – every day! :)
i love it.
I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing! It seems like the perfect Saturday morning meal!
So great, a fancy looking recipe with ingredients that we all have in our kitchen! Love it, I added it to my “to cook list” for my blog.
brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks INCREDIBLE! I must make this this weekend!
genius! this sounds amazing!
I’m not a huge fan of oatmeal myself, but when I first saw this in Bon Apetit, I was so intrigued! They made it sound so fantastic. That’s why I’m so glad you posted your own version. Now I can give it a try (without booking that flight to Colorado). Can’t wait! Looks so incredibly yummy.
ohhmaagahh. This recipe alone is causing me to purchase a 1) espresso maker and 2) milk frother. ASAP!
both completely worth it!!
So creative! 100% not a coffee person, but thinking hot chocolate would be kind of fabulous… ?
Omg, I can’t even handle THIS. Oatmeal + latte? My dreams are coming true.
This kind of really scares me, but is also super intriguing! Now all I need is an espresso machine and I’ll be in business!
I love food that I can drink and sip. Also, this is one of my fav breakfast combos. Oatmeal and coffee….HEAVEN! I can’t wait to try this.
Ummmmmm, YES! This is exactly how I’d like to eat my oatmeal.
ps: I stayed with my grandmother last week and we started every morning with coffee, yougart bowls, and reading the paper. It’s kind of lovely. But we’re kindred old-lady spirits who bond over the love of orange marmalade, which apparently you aren’t supposed to love if you aren’t over 70.
i absolutely LOVE that. how wonderful!
This definitely is for those who dunk their coffee.
It looks fabulous, but I am confused about the quantity of milk. The ingredients list two cups of milk. However, the instructions total two and a half cups of milk. Am I wrong? Can’t wait to try it.
oops sorry linda! total should be 2 1/2 – i fixed it, thanks!
Minutes between the time I read this post and had oatmeal going on the stove = 3. I don’t have an espresso machine or any kind of new fangled milk frother, but I muddled through with my aeropress and what I had on hand. YUM! Also I think that’s like a new record from time reading a recipe to the time was enjoying it, so kudos!
thank you sarah!! I LOVE that you made it so quickly!
OK, so I am not an oatmeal person unless it’s in cookie form. And I sort of hate myself for it. THESE, though! Totally make me want to give oatmeal another shot. Gorgeous.
i’m also 100% oatmeal in cookies first.
this is genius! and I do like to read the paper lol. I canceled our subscription thinking I could just read it online but it’s not the same !!
i completely agree. eddie reads the paper online and i just can’t do it! i’d rather have it here in my hands, but i don’t get it regularly right now.
This is so interesting. I’ll have to try it! Thanks!

Ohmygoodness! My head just exploded with happiness. This is pure, caffeinated, breakfast-y genius! :)
Yes yes yes!! Love this :)
No way!!! An oatmeal latte? This is a game changer!
What a genius multi-purpose breakie, I love it!
Yeah! This is a change from me putting all these ingredients in a protein shake. I can now enjoy my oatmeal and coffee hot on the weekends!!Thank you!!!
I’m dying to make this!! A perfect way for a procrastinating student such as myself to combine breakfast and caffeine

My life is forever changed.
I made your oatmeal latte this morning for breakfast, and let me just say that from now on my life will be divided into two eras: before oatmeal latte and after oatmeal latte.
It may be my new favourite breakfast! I was worried that it wouldn’t come out as frothy as yours, but it turned out perfect. I cooked the oats on the stove and used my Breville milk café to froth the milk. I, too, have a nespresso machine, so I used that for the espresso (two shots…duh!).
Just out of curiosity, which pod did you use for the nespresso? I normally drink the altissio but I found the flavour a bit strong paired with the sweetness of the brown sugar in the oatmeal.
Can’t wait to make this again…likely for breakfast tomorrow…and the next day…and the next day…
This looks amazing. So many of my favorite things in one mug. Thanks for sharing!
Whoa baby! This is awesome. And now I now exactly what I’m doing on Saturday. The granola is the perfect touch!

This looks like a dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap this sounds so weird and amazing!! I don’t normally like oatmeal because of the texture, but I think with all the extra frothy milk and the espresso thrown in there, I could totally get down with this!!!
Good GOD this looks perfect :) Thank you for sharing! X
What a GENIUS idea! I really, really, really cannot wait to try this one out!
Oh. my. lord. you are out of your mind and I love it! I make a smoothie like this – http://www.theyummylife.com/Oatmeal_Smoothies – and I dump some Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate in there too. I’ve wondered what your take on it would be!
It’s 9pm and yet all I want to do right now is make this…LOVE!
