Notes

Tips and Variations

Swap freshly ground coffee beans for strong brewed coffee if you don't have an espresso machine. Simply brew your coffee a bit stronger than usual, and it will mimic the espresso's robust flavor.
Replace maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit to keep it low-sugar and low-calorie.
Aside from oat milk, you can use other types of plant-based milk, like almond milk or coconut milk, for a slightly different flavor.
If espresso is too strong for you, swap it for a cold brew or decaf option.
During the holidays, you can add more spices like nutmeg or clove for a more festive flavor.
Stir in some cocoa powder to add a chocolatey twist or add coconut cream for extra creamy texture.
For a refreshing twist, allow the espresso and milk mixture to cool and pour over ice cubes to make an iced oat milk latte.
