This easy brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte is a cozy, comforting drink made with simple ingredients. It’s quick to prepare, dairy-free, and perfect for fall and winter mornings or late-night cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 g) ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk (barista-style recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee using your preferred method. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons (30 g) packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon (1.5 g) ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water. Place over medium heat and whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  3. Pour the warm brown sugar cinnamon syrup into your mug. Immediately pour the hot coffee over the syrup and stir vigorously until fully combined.
  4. Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of oat milk into a microwave-safe jar or small measuring cup. Use a handheld frother to froth the milk for 20-30 seconds until it doubles in volume and becomes thick and foamy. Alternatively, seal the jar and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then microwave for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour the frothed oat milk over the coffee-syrup mixture. Use a spoon to hold back the foam initially, letting the liquid milk pour in first, then spoon the foam on top.
  6. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of ground cinnamon over the foam and insert a cinnamon stick for stirring. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a stronger cinnamon flavor, add a cinnamon stick to the syrup while it simmers and let it steep for 2-3 minutes. To make ahead, prepare the brown sugar cinnamon syrup and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When ready, stir 1 tablespoon of syrup into hot coffee and proceed with the recipe.
