An oat milk latte is a creamy, plant-based coffee drink made by combining espresso with steamed or frothed oat milk. It typically includes just two main ingredients: a shot or two of espresso and oat milk, often with optional sweeteners like vanilla syrup. This beverage originated in specialty coffee shops and has become a global staple, especially popular in vegan and dairy-free communities.
Oat milk lattes are generally moderate in carbohydrates due to the natural sugars in oat milk, with a small amount of protein and fat. They provide some dietary fiber and are often fortified with vitamins like B12 and D, with a typical serving containing around 120-180 calories depending on size and added sweeteners.

Oat milk lattes have surged in popularity for their sustainability, as oats require less water and land than dairy farming. Nutritionally, they offer a creamy texture similar to dairy milk but with a naturally subtle sweetness that complements coffee without overpowering it.
