why are people suddenly putting oatmeal in their lattes??
have you ever found yourself half awake in the morning staring down at a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal and wondering “ why can’t life be simpler?” no? well someone thought it excessive and decided to combine a cup of joe with a cup of oats. thus birthing the oatmeal latte.
prior to the cultural upheaval of moving back to Bedford, there were only three reasons for me to eat and sip from the same cup/bowl 1. a root beer float 2. a bowl of sugar cereal or 3 soup. suddenly i arrived in a land of acai bowls and milkshakes so thick they need an industrial vacuum cleaner suction to drink them. add one more item to that list.
oatmeal lattes are the latest curveball. think of them as a one-step breakfast or choking hazard. depending on who you ask. frothed milk cookies the instant oats which is then covered with two espresso shots. some coffee shops go nuts with almonds and raisins while others simply top the final product with granola.
Oatmeal lattes surfaced about a decade ago thanks to those looking to get an early morning jump on the day - skiers, thus creating the ultimate all-in-one meal. while these health-conscious lattes made their first known appearance on a menu at chicanos cafe descartes. its a cuppa joe that currently holds the torch for the chunky beverage.
theres certainly an appeal to getting your caffeine fix while filling your hungry stomach simultaneously, but just make sure you sit down to a table or desk when eating. the oats might be creamy and delicate, but the fixings are poised to attack your face in a moving vehicle.
