Did you know you can make an oat milk latte at home, without actually buying oat milk? Instead, you can blend oats directly with the coffee and sweetener for a creamy dairy-free latte. (Without a weird aftertaste that you can get from store-bought milk.) It tastes like a fancy coffee shop latte, for a fraction of the price!
Add the coffee, water, oats, and maple syrup to a blender. Secure the lid and blend until smooth and creamy, with no visible pieces of oats.
Pour the mixture over ice and enjoy it right away. You can pour this mixture through a fine-mesh strainer as it goes into the glass to catch any pieces of oats the blender might have missed. Note: If you let this sit in the glass for too long, it may start to separate, but stirring it with a straw will make it creamy again.
