This delicious oat milk matcha latte takes minutes to make, and it’s so healthy for you too!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my latest obsession: oat milk matcha lattes.
Without fail, I have had one of these matcha lattes almost every night after dinner, and I am 100% serious when I say it is the best part of my day. Once the dishes for dinner are done, you can usually find me curled up on the couch, matcha latte in one hand, chocolate in the other hand, and Netflix on the TV.
Matcha lattes and I go way back, and I have been working on perfecting my favorite recipe for a while. I’ve tried all different kinds of milk—almond milk, whole milk, coconut milk, you name it—but I’ve determined that oat milk is by far the most delicious. Personally, I love using Oatly* because I think it has the best taste! Here in New York City, I can find Oatly at Whole Foods, so I always make sure I keep my fridge stocked.

Health Benefits of Matcha
If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I am a huge matcha fan. Matcha is a a finely-ground powder made from green tea leaves, and it has a strong, delicious flavor. When consuming matcha as opposed to normal green tea, you actually get a higher concentration of the nutrients from the leaves because of the powder form.
Various studies have shown that matcha is rich in antioxidants, can boost your metabolism, and enhance your concentration. Many people have also noted that drinking matcha tea gives them more energy throughout the day. Delicious taste + lots of health benefits = a win in my book!
While you can buy matcha powder in many grocery stores, I like to order mine on Amazon. This matcha powder* is my favorite, and I have reordered it a few times. Since you only use a small amount for each latte, it can last you quite a long time.
Tips for Making an Oat Milk Matcha Latte
I feel like I make this recipe so often because it’s so simple, and I know you can too! Personally, I like to use my milk frother* because you can throw all the ingredients in and let it mix together. The frothing motion heats the matcha latte up enough so that it’s the perfect temperature once finished.
If you don’t have a frother, you can easily use a blender or a pot on the stove instead. If using this method, just make sure the matcha powder dissolves completely before serving.
Many recipes will also recommend that you dissolve the matcha powder in water before mixing it with the milk. You can definitely make the matcha latte this way, but I find that using the frother or blender takes care of this by itself.
I really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, and if you give it a try, let me know what you think in the comments below!
