🌟Why you'll love this recipe

  • Fiber-filled oats - Oats are rich in fiber which keeps you fuller for longer, and they aid digestion.

🧾Ingredients in this recipe

Milk, matcha green tea powder, oats, and other labeled ingredients on a countertop.
  • Rolled Oats - Do not substitute for another type of oats as the texture will be very different. Rolled oats are usually the go-to type for porridge and baked goods like oatmeal raisin ghee cookies.
  • Milk - Use any dairy or non-dairy milk like a nut milk, but not oat milk. Oat milk will yield something more oatmeal-like than oatmeal latte.
  • Salt - a pinch of salt complements and enhances the sweet flavors in the recipe, but you can leave it out if you'd like.
  • Matcha powder - You will need culinary-grade matcha powder from your fave brand. I love this matcha powder.
  • Sweetener - My preference of sweetener in this recipe is brown sugar. You can also sweeten this latte with white sugar, honey, agave, or any other sweetener of your choice.

✅ Pro Tip

You don't need any grade higher than culinary-grade matcha powder for this recipe.

📋Recipe FAQs

Does oatmeal taste good with coffee?

Classic oatmeal lattes have a shot of espresso in them, and the taste of oats and coffee go well together.

What are the different types of oats?

The main types of oats you'll see most often.
Rolled oats - steamed and flattened oats, mostly used for oatmeal, granola, and baking.
Steel-cut oats - chopped oats with a nuttier texture and longer cooking time. I use them in my savory miso oatmeal
Instant oats - these are pre-cooked and dried so you can make them quickly just by adding hot water.

What is in matcha powder?

Matcha powder is made of dried and finely ground green tea leaves. Enjoy it in a simple matcha latte!

Does Starbucks have an oatmeal latte?

Starbucks has many cool drinks made with oat milk and oat flavoring, but I haven't seen any in the U.S. that have oatmeal lattes!

    I feel like this recipe was made for me! I loved seeing the oatmeal lattes at Starbucks but I don't drink coffee, so this matcha version is exactly what I was needing. I loved the consistency and overall flavors, I wish they would put this on their menu!
