Ingredients
- Coffee: freshly brewed and strong to provide a robust base
- Unsweetened almond milk: or your favorite milk which adds creaminess without overpowering flavors
- Vanilla protein powder: contributes protein and a lovely, subtle sweetness. Choose a good quality brand for best texture
- Ground cinnamon: adds warmth and the signature cinnamon roll flavor
- Vanilla extract: deepens the aroma and enhances sweetness naturally
- Maple syrup or honey: offers gentle natural sweetness. Look for pure maple syrup for best taste
Instructions
- Savour the Coffee:
- Brew your coffee stronger than normal using your preferred method. Let it rest aside while you prepare the protein milk.
- Heat the Milk:
- Pour almond milk into a small saucepan or microwavesafe cup. Warm gently until it is hot but not boiling. This ensures smooth mixing and keeps the protein powder from clumping.
- Blend the Protein Powder:
- Add the vanilla protein powder to the warm milk. Whisk briskly until the mixture becomes frothy and smooth, creating a creamy texture.
- Add the Flavors:
- Stir in ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and the maple syrup. Whisk together so the warmth of spices and sweetness blend perfectly with the creamy milk.
- Combine and Enjoy:
- Pour the strong brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Add the protein milk mixture on top and stir gently. Serve immediately for a comforting and nourishing start.
Cinnamon is my favorite ingredient here. Its warm spiciness instantly reminds me of cozy weekends spent baking in my grandmother’s kitchen. This latte captures that comforting feeling in a cup without the fuss.
Storage Tips
This latte is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge and reheat gently. Avoid reheating too aggressively to prevent separation of protein powder.
Ingredient Substitutions
You can swap almond milk for oat or cows milk depending on your preference and dietary needs. Vanilla protein powder can be replaced with chocolate or unflavored versions but adjust maple syrup to your taste as sweetness might change.
Serving Suggestions
Pair your latte with a slice of wholegrain toast or a light pastry for a balanced breakfast. It also makes a lovely midmorning pickmeup.
Enjoy this comforting cinnamon roll protein latte any morning for a quick nourishing boost. It’s easy to adapt to your taste and schedule.
