Brown Sugar Oat Milk Espresso (Copycat Starbucks)
Brown Sugar Oat Milk Espresso is certainly a drink that’s popular on the Starbucks menu for those who prefer vegan, plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free drinks.
This copycat beverage is essentially an iced latte, made with a flavorful brown sugar syrup, oat milk, espresso, and then topped with frothed oat milk and a light dusting of ground cinnamon!
Recipe Notes:
- While I’ve topped this brown sugar oat milk espresso with frothed milk, you could add some extra sweetness by topping it with whipped cream instead.
- It’s best to let the espresso cool a bit before pouring it over the ice in the glass otherwise it will start to melt the ice quickly.
- There are different brands of oat milk, some of higher quality than others. Try to use a good quality oat milk because it really does improve the flavor of this drink.
- If you prefer, you can enjoy this drink as a hot or warm beverage rather than an iced latte.
- While this drink is vegan, you could opt to use regular dairy milk instead of the oat milk if you want to. The taste will be a little richer and creamy!
Absolutely! While I’ve used oat milk for this copycat drink, you could also use another plant-based milk such as almond or cashew milk.
Yes, it is! All of the ingredients used in this recipe are vegan-friendly.
