Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:7 minutes
Total Time:12 minutes
Yield:1 serving 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup brewed coffee (strong brew recommended)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, your preference!)
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey, agave, or your favorite sweetener)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine Oats and Milk: In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk.
Cook the Oats: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Simmer Until Softened: Continue to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have softened and the milk has thickened slightly. You’re looking for a porridge-like consistency. Don’t overcook them, or they’ll become too mushy.
Remove from Heat: Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for a minute or two. This will prevent the blender from overheating when we add the hot coffee.
Add Ingredients to Blender: Carefully pour the cooked oat and milk mixture into a blender.
Add Coffee: Pour in the brewed coffee. Make sure it’s still hot, as this will help everything blend together nicely.
Add Peanut Butter: Add the peanut butter to the blender.
Add Sweetener: Pour in the maple syrup (or your sweetener of choice). Adjust the amount to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer your latte.
Add Vanilla Extract and Salt: Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on the power of your blender. Make sure there are no lumps of oats or peanut butter remaining.
Pour into a Mug: Carefully pour the blended latte into your favorite mug.
Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, top your latte with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter. Get creative and add your favorite toppings!
Enjoy Immediately: Serve immediately and enjoy! This latte is best enjoyed while it’s still warm and frothy.
