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!

Thanks, Karly!
This looks like it might make a nice Christmas Day treat for one!
Looks delicious! Nice and rich.
My parents are obsessed with the Hallmark Christmas movies. The predictability is exactly why I can’t get into them myself. They keep challenging me to guess the ending.
Yummy!
WoW … I never would have imagined such a combination of ingredients. Bravo!
What a warm cosy picture for this season. Thanks
Yum! Perfect for a cold morning.
Definitely!
This is certainly not a combination I’ve ever thought of but it looks great. Maybe I’ll give this one a try when next we get a cold front (which is only cold to a girl used to the tropics haha… like 20°C). Christmas in Jamaica has been scorchingly hot these days.
Wow, fabulous idea
