Oatmeal Latte Recipe

Oatmeal Latte Recipe

 #Oatmeal #Latte #Recipe

(Makes 2 servings)

Ingredients:

• 2 and 1/2 cups milk, divided per the directions (I used 2% milk.)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar (I used light brown sugar but dark would work.)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 shots of espresso
• sprinkling of granola for the topping

Directions:

1. In a saucepan over medium/high heat, add 1 and 1/2 cups of milk and the salt and bring it to a boil.
2. Stir in the oats and cinnamon.
3. Reduce the heat to medium, cook for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
4. While the oatmeal is cooking, froth the remaining 1 cup of milk.  I warmed up the milk in the microwave until I got the temperature that I desired.  Then I used an immersion blender to create the milk froth.  I poured the warm milk into the measuring cup that came with my immersion blender.  If yours didn’t come with a container then use any tall container or work in the saucepan.  If you don’t have an immersion blender then use a whisk and whisk it vigorously.
5. Once the oatmeal is done cooking, add 3/4 cup of the frothed milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the oatmeal mixture and cook until the oats are creamy.
6. Remove the oatmeal from the heat and divide it into two mugs.
7. Top each serving with 1 shot of espresso and with the remaining 1/4 cup of frothed milk.  (I used my Nespresso maker to make the espresso.)
8. Sprinkle granola on top.
