🥘 Ingredients

This Starbucks honey latte copycat recipe only calls for a few simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post for nutritional information.

• Oat Milk: Unsweetened oat milk is a popular choice for lattes, and this honey oatmilk latte welcomes the slight sweetness and creamy texture that this milk provides!
• Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract pairs so well with the creamy oatmilk and soothing honey.
• Espresso: A shot of espresso coffee is the perfect boost of caffeine for this oatmilk coffee!
• Honey: Honey is the star ingredient in this oatmilk coffee recipe, with its comforting hint of sweetness. A little honey is the perfect way to give extra charm and flavor.
• Ground Cinnamon: A little bit of cinnamon dashed on top completes this delicious honey latte with oat milk. Plus, the addition of cinnamon provides some great health benefits thanks to its blood sugar balancing capabilities and anti-inflammatory properties. 

🍲 Ingredient Substitutions

🔪 How To Make A Honey Latte

With very minimal effort, this oatmilk honey latte recipe can be mastered by even a first time at-home barista! Here is how to make this delicious drink:

Simmer Milk, Prepare Espresso: In this first step, heat milk and vanilla extract over a medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Meanwhile, prepare the espresso shot.

Add Honey To Coffee: Next, add the honey to the hot coffee and stir until melted.

Froth Milk: Remove the heated milk and froth milk using a milk frother.

Assemble Latte: Pour the warm milk into the espresso, top with milk froth and sprinkle with cinnamon if using. For best results, serve and enjoy immediately.

💭 Expert Tips

• Frothing Options: If you don’t have a milk frother you can froth the milk using an immersion blender or handheld whisk. Alternatively, you could pour the hot milk into a blender and blend until froth has formed.
• Allergy Benefits: If you experience seasonal allergies, use a local honey which can be a great way to provide some allergy relief! An added win to this tasty coffee drink!
• Adjust Sweetness: If you love sweet drinks, you can add an extra tablespoon of honey. Alternatively, if you prefer to avoid too much honey in your oatmilk lattes, you can opt for only a small drizzle of honey.
• For 2 Drinks: If you want to make two of these honey cinnamon oat milk lattes, simply double the recipe and prepare two espresso shots.

📖 Variations 

• Pumpkin Spice Honey Latte: Transform this honey latte into a pumpkin version adding a spoonful of pumpkin puree into the milk mixture. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice seasoning on top of the frothed milk! You can also swap the espresso for a fall blend coffee.
• Iced Honey Oatmilk Latte: For more of a cold brew feel, make your espresso in the espresso maker and add 1 shot of espresso with 1 cup of cold milk in a glass with a handful of ice cubes. Stir in your honey and vanilla extract! 
• Honey Cappuccino: Use half the amount of regular oat milk and double the amount of frothed milk to turn this hot oatmilk drink into a delicious cappuccino.
• Double Shot: Make this honey vanilla latte stronger with 2 shots of espresso!
• More Flavors: Play around with the flavor of the coffee, trying this recipe with seasonal blends!

🍽 Serving Suggestions

I love to garnish this honeycomb latte with cinnamon sticks and a swirl of honey on top. It is absolutely perfect on its own for your morning beverage, but you can also pair it with some classic breakfast options. There are so many easy ways to cultivate the best morning experience ever! Here are a few of my favorite things to pair with this drink:

• Healthy Apple Carrot Muffins
• Gluten Free Banana Muffins
• Healthy Cinnamon Rolls
• Croffles
• Vegan Protein Waffles
• Baked Oats Without Banana

🙌 Dietary Adaptations

This honey cinnamon oat milk latte is gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free! Since it is sweetened with honey, it is not vegan but you can make an equally delicious maple latte with pure maple syrup or just a simple syrup instead of the honey for a vegan friendly option. You can also make this homemade vegan honey for your latte!

🫙 Storage Directions

To Store In The Fridge: While it is best to enjoy this oatmilk latte recipe right away when it is hot and fresh, you can store leftovers in a mason jar in the fridge for 1 day. I don’t recommend trying to freeze this drink.

To Reheat: You could enjoy this drink chilled the next day (or later in the day) or pour into a small saucepan and reheat on the stove top over medium-low heat.
