Creamy oatmeal latte filled with rich chocolate and topped with mini marshmallows. This hot chocolate oatmeal latte is delicious and cozy, perfect for a wintery day in.
I adore hot chocolates and oatmeal lattes so why can’t I have both?
When it comes to December, all I ever want to do is snuggle up in bed with a warm blanket, boot socks, a good book, and a Hallmark Christmas movie playing in the background. I know so many people are into Christmas music and songs, but me? I prefer the movies.
I’ve seen so many of the movies! After awhile, the plots sound the same, the endings are predictable, and the movies replay, but I still watch. Because it’s fun and I know there’s always a happy ending.
So I can already picture myself this weekend, all snuggled up in front of my Christmas tree, watching a marathon of Hallmark Christmas movies, and sipping, or I guess, spooning, this hot chocolate oatmeal latte.
If you love your hot chocolate, and you love your coffee, why can’t we combine both to create a hot chocolate latte? And while we’re at it, why don’t we just add oatmeal and make this an everything you can possibly want for breakfast? Just saying. =)
This version of hot chocolate oatmeal latte is chocolaty, rich, and thick. If you prefer your hot chocolate less thick, just add more of the almond milk.
In a small pot, add almond milk, old fashioned oats,and brown sugar over low to medium heat. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients. Cook the oats for a few minutes until they start to thicken. Add an ounce of semi sweet chocolate, and stir until completely melted and combined with the oats.
Pour the chocolate oats into a mug, then pour in strongly brewed coffee. Top the hot chocolate oatmeal latte with mini marshmallows or whipped cream and granola.
Enjoy!

buggers, i can’t get the ‘print’ button to work. looks like a great recipe to try. and, yes, to those hallmark movies – watching one even now. 😉
I switched recipe cards so the print button should work now. Let me know if it doesn’t. =)
print worked great – thank you!
