HOW TO MAKE Blackberry Oat Milk Latte

This section shows clear steps to make your latte. It is simple, fast, and great for a quick breakfast pick-me-up. You can adjust the fruit level or make the purée in advance to save time.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

• Espresso machine, Moka pot, or strong coffee maker
• Small saucepan or blender for blackberry purée
• Milk steamer, handheld frother, or small saucepan to heat oat milk
• Spoon and measuring spoons
• Tall glass or latte cup

Ingredients You’ll Need :

• 1 shot espresso (or 1/2 cup strong coffee)
• 1/2 cup oat milk (steamed)
• 1–2 tbsp blackberry purée or syrup
• Optional sweetener

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS :

Brew espresso; set aside. Steam oat milk; stir in blackberry purée. Add sweetener if desired. Pour the fruity oat milk over coffee. Sip the sweet, berry-infused aroma for a breakfast boost.

HOW TO SERVE Blackberry Oat Milk Latte

Serve your latte in a warmed mug or clear glass to enjoy the color. For a balanced, healthy serving:

• Keep the oat milk to 1/2 cup to control calories and portions.
• Use 1 tablespoon of blackberry purée for a lower sugar version, or 2 tablespoons for a sweeter drink.
• If you want added protein, top with a sprinkle of chia seeds or add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the warm oat milk (blend well).

Pair this drink with a small, balanced side like a Greek yogurt cup or a slice of whole-grain toast with nut butter. These add protein and fiber to keep you full. For a low calorie breakfast, choose a plain Greek yogurt and fresh fruit on the side.

STORAGE & FREEZING : Blackberry Oat Milk Latte

Leftover components store well, but the finished latte is best fresh.

• Blackberry purée: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze it in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Pop a cube into warm oat milk or coffee for a quick fruity boost.
• Steamed oat milk: Use within 24 hours if refrigerated. It is best to reheat gently.
• Finished latte: Drink immediately for best taste and texture. Avoid freezing the finished drink since oat milk texture can change when thawed.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

• Healthy side: A small bowl of Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of granola and extra blackberries makes a balanced, high protein meal to go with your latte.
• Portion control tip: Treat the latte as a 150–250 calorie treat by measuring the oat milk and limiting added sweetener. This helps if you are working toward weight loss goals.
• Brunch idea: Serve with a spinach and egg white omelet for a low calorie, protein-focused plate.

If you like seasonal lattes, try combining the blackberry purée with warm spices for a cozy variation; if you want more iced options, see this iced gingerbread oatmilk chai latte for inspiration on chilled spiced drinks.

VARIATIONS

• Healthier version: Reduce added sweetener or use a sugar-free substitute. Use 1 tablespoon of blackberry purée and no syrup to keep sugar low. This makes the drink more diabetic-friendly and lower in calories.
• High-protein or low-carb version: Swap oat milk for an unsweetened high-protein milk (pea protein milk) or add a scoop of protein powder to the steamed milk. Use a sugar-free blackberry syrup or a smaller amount of purée. This becomes a high protein meal or snack and can be good for weight loss when used in a calorie-controlled plan.
• Air fryer or oven-baked version: If you want a deeper blackberry flavor, roast blackberries first. Toss berries with a touch of lemon and roast in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until they break down. Blend into a purée to use in the latte. Roasting brings out richer flavor and makes a lovely syrup without added sugar.

MAKE-AHEAD TIPS FOR Blackberry Oat Milk Latte

• Make a batch of blackberry purée and store it in the fridge. This makes the latte great for meal prep as you can assemble in under 5 minutes in the morning.
• Pre-measure oat milk into single-serve jars. Heat and froth quickly before pouring over espresso.
• If you prefer iced lattes, make a concentrate of espresso and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Combine with cold oat milk and blackberry purée when ready. This is great for busy mornings and for those who want a grab-and-go option.
