Oatmeal Lattes are the Perfect Caffeinated Breakfast Hybrid

To sip or to spoon? That is the question. Oatmeal lattes have taken the Internet by storm, and we want in on the fun. Start your morning with a filling bowl of oats and a splash of strongly brewed coffee for a breakfast that will wake you up and fuel your day.

Since most of us don't have milk frothers and espresso machines, we found a way to bring the oatmeal latte to life, sans fancy equipment. By vigorously whisking the milk over low heat and brewing a stronger cup of joe, you get that same great flavor of a latte without having to invest in yet another kitchen tool. We topped ours with power granola, but you can easily enjoy it without the added frills. Take it to-go on a hectic morning, or sip it under the covers on a cozy, weekend in bed.
