This has been a cold weather favorite of mine forever! I cook up some hearty steel cut oats (the quick-cooking kind so it doesn’t take forever!), I mix in some sweetener and top with a shot of espresso. So simple and oh. so. delicious!
Steel Cut Oatmeal Latte
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup quick cooking steel cut oats
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
maple syrup, to taste
1-2 shots espresso
Method:
Bring the milk and water to a simmer, add the oats and simmer over low heat for about 8 minutes, stirring constantly. If it gets too thick, add a bit more water. Add salt, cinnamon and maple syrup and top with espresso!
NOTE: if you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use 1 tbsp strong coffee dissolved in 3 tbsp hot water per shot.
