Ingredients
1 shot (1 oz) espresso
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup brewed strong coffee
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Rolled oats, for garnish
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt with 1/4 cup of water.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, and cook for about 3 minutes until the oats soften and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup. Set aside.
Brew 1 shot (1 oz) of espresso and pour it into a large mug.
Add the brewed strong coffee to the mug with the espresso and stir to combine.
In a separate small saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create foam from the milk mixture.
Pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the mug with the espresso and coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon.
Spoon the oatmeal mixture on top of the latte, then gently add the milk foam over the oatmeal layer.
Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a few rolled oats on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your oatmeal cookie latte.
