Now for the fun part of making our coffee oats.
Follow these simple steps for perfection.
Spoon always says low and slow wins the race.
We are aiming for creamy, not scorched oats.
Combining and Heating the Base
First, put all your base items in one pot.
That means oats, liquid, coffee, and pumpkin puree.
Add the sweetener, spice, vanilla, and salt in there.
Stir it gently to combine everything well.
Next, place the pan over medium heat.
Bring the mix to a soft simmer, stirring often.
Achieving Perfect Creaminess
Once it simmers, drop the heat right down.
Cook low for about five to seven minutes.
Keep stirring frequently so nothing sticks to the bottom.
When the oats are creamy, pull the pan off the heat.
Let it rest for just two short minutes.
This resting time helps it thicken nicely.
Serving Your Freshly Made Pumpkin Spice Latte Oats

This is where you get creative, friend.
