Print Recipe

A dairy-free, vegan-friendly cappuccino featuring whipped espresso and velvety oat milk foam, perfect for cozy mornings or a comforting pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso or very strong coffee
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista blend, unsweetened optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot and pour into a heatproof bowl.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon granulated sugar while the espresso is still hot to help dissolve the sugar.
  3. Whip the espresso and sugar mixture on high speed with a handheld electric mixer for 3-5 minutes until thick, fluffy, and light brown foam forms soft peaks. If using a whisk, whip vigorously for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk into a small saucepan and gently warm over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F / 65°C).
  5. Froth the warmed oat milk using a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create a light, airy foam.
  6. Pour the warm oat milk into a mug, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the whipped espresso foam gently on top to create distinct layers.
  7. Optionally, stir ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the oat milk before frothing and dust with a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

Notes

Use hot, fresh espresso for best whipping results. Avoid overheating oat milk to prevent burnt flavor. Barista blend oat milk froths better. If espresso doesn’t whip, warm it slightly and ensure sugar is fully dissolved. Clean mixer whisk immediately after use for easier cleaning.
