Oat milk has been in my fridge for the last two years running. At this point I’ve tried most of the major brands, used it in everything from my morning Aeropress to baking banana bread, and formed some fairly strong opinions about which versions are worth buying and which aren’t.
Can You Put Cinnamon In Coffee?
Putting cinnamon in coffee sounds like a weird move until you actually try it. The combination works better than you’d expect — and once it clicks, it becomes a habit that’s hard to give up.
Cinnamon has a sweet, woody base with a faint citrus note and a bit of heat at the end. The interesting part is what it does to coffee: instead of fighting the coffee’s natural bitterness, it amplifies the sweetness without any actual sugar. If you’ve been adding a teaspoon of table sugar to your morning cup, try half a shake of cinnamon first and see what happens.
Is Oat Milk Good For You?
When oat milk started appearing next to almond, rice, and soy milk a few years ago, I assumed it was a trend. That’s usually what you think right before something becomes a permanent grocery staple — it’s clearly not going anywhere. New brands keep showing up and established brands keep expanding their oat milk lines.
The versatility is the real story here. Oatly makes a barista version with a little more fat, which froths better and doesn’t curdle in hot espresso — a problem that has killed more than a few plant-milk cappuccinos I’ve tried. For baking, oat milk has a neutral enough flavor that it swaps in for dairy milk without leaving any trace of itself in the final product. That’s not true of almond milk, which you can definitely taste.
