Ingredients
Scale
Latte Base
- 1 shot espresso or 1/4 cup strongly brewed coffee
- 3/4 cup oat milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or sugar-free sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Optional Garnishes
- Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg
- Whipped cream (dairy-free if needed)
- Cookie crumbles for garnish
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew one shot of espresso or prepare 1/4 cup of strongly brewed coffee using your preferred method. Set aside to keep warm.
- Heat and Flavor Milk: Warm 3/4 cup oat milk in a small saucepan over low-medium heat or heat in a microwave-safe bowl until warm. Stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the milk becomes lightly frothy.
- Combine: Pour the brewed coffee into a mug. Slowly add the flavored milk on top and stir gently to combine all the flavors.
- Add Optional Toppings: For extra indulgence, top the latte with whipped cream, a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg, and cookie crumbles if desired.
- For an Iced Version: Allow the milk mixture to cool completely. Pour it over ice cubes in a glass, add the brewed coffee, and stir well before serving.
Notes
- Oat milk gives a naturally sweet, creamy texture but you can substitute with any milk or milk alternative of your choice.
- Adjust sweetness by using sugar-free sweeteners if preferred.
- Vanilla and almond extracts create that signature sugar cookie flavor pairing.
- Whipped cream and spices add festive flavor and texture but are optional.
- Try using cold brew coffee for a smoother iced latte experience.
