    Recreate a copycat oatmilk shaken espresso at home with a few simple ingredients, including a delicious homemade brown sugar syrup. This recipe can be made in under 10 minutes and tastes even better than the one you get from Starbucks.

    Starbucks oat milk shaken espresso next to homemade version.

    This brown sugar latte recipe has to win the award for the prettiest coffee drink! The golden color that forms when the oat milk hits the espresso is absolutely beautiful!

    The brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso is a drink from Starbucks that isn't overly sweet. You can definitely taste the espresso, with a finishing flavor of dark sugar and cinnamon. The plus of making this drink at home is that you can customize the drink to your liking - more or less sweetness, cinnamon, or oatmilk.

    What You'll Learn In This Recipe

    By making this delicious espresso drink, you'll learn a few things:

    • The types of espresso or cold brew you can use.
    • A recipe for making your very own brown sugar syrup. Don't worry, simple syrup whips up in under 5 minutes.
    • How to customize the shaken espresso to your liking.

    Ingredients You Need

    espresso, brown sugar syrup, oatmilk, and ground cinnamon with labels.

    There are only a few ingredients needed to recreate this Starbucks drink at home:

    • Brown sugar syrup: Starbucks has an amazing simple syrup made with sugar and maple syrup. It's the sweetener used in this oatmilk shaken espresso. I've got a homemade recipe so that you can make it at home!
    • Espresso: Starbucks uses a blonde espresso for this recipe (it's a lighter roasted version of the traditional dark bean espresso). However, you can use whatever beans you have on hand to make the espresso. I sometimes even use my Nespresso machine with the altissio pods, or I'll substitute with cold brew coffee.
    • Ground cinnamon: Cinnamon is part of the rich flavor in this drink. Feel free to use it as a garnish as well!
    • Oatmilk: Oatmilk has quickly become the new plant-based milk that everyone is obsessed with! It adds a rich, creamy touch to this coffee drink. I love Planet Oat and Oatly

    How To Make This Recipe

    Recipe Frequently Asked Questions

    I don't have espresso. What can I substitute it for?

    In a pinch, you can make the brown sugar drink with cold brew coffee. It won't taste exactly like the Starbucks version, but still very delicious!

    I don't have oatmilk. What can I substitute it for?

    You're welcome to use unsweetened, plain almond milk as a substitution.

    This brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso isn't sweet enough for me.

    The Starbucks version isn't overly sweet! However, you're welcome to add more syrup to sweeten the drink to your liking.

      I’ve been making these knowing something was missing…it was the maple syrup! My milk would always fall straight to the bottom. And the taste was so slightly off. Using the maple syrup made all the difference, thank you!
