Vegan Snickerdoodle Latte Ingredients
You don’t need much, but when you combine these ingredients, you’ll get a coffee shop experience in your own kitchen!
For the Cinnamon Syrup, you’ll need:
- Water
- Organic granulated sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Cinnamon sticks
For the latte, you’ll need:
- 1-2 shots espresso – We do 2 shots of espresso per coffee, but we like them on the stronger side!
- Steamed oat milk – See our recommendations below for the best frothing oat milks! We used our Salton Barista+ to steam the oat milk. You can also buy simple handheld milk frothers on Amazon.

Step 2: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved and a syrup texture.
Step 3: Remove from heat and carefully remove the cinnamon sticks.
How to Make a Latte with Snickerdoodle Syrup

Step 1: Add 2-3 Tbsp cinnamon syrup to your mug followed by the 1-2 shots of espresso.
Step 2: Top with steamed oat milk.
Salton Barista+ Instructions:
We make this vegan latte in our Salton Barista+ which we adore because you can make lattes and cappuccinos with the touch of a single button. It’s made our mornings so much easier!
- Turn on your Salton One Touch Barista+. Make sure your water and milk containers are full. Wait for the icons to stop blinking.
- Add your coffee to the Portafilter basket and insert into the locked position.
- Optional: Rim your mug with vegan butter and a cinnamon sugar blend.
- Add 2-3 Tbsp cinnamon syrup to your cup and place under the Portafilter basket.
- Move the milk frothing lever to the left over the cup, so it pours directly into it.
- Then, select the single or double latte button and let the Barista+ work its magic!
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Make the simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge so it’s available when you want it.
- Use an “extra creamy “or “barista-style” vegan milk. We really like the dairy-free milks from Planet Oat, Oatly, or the cashew coconut milk from Elmhurst.
- You can make this with regular or decaf espresso. You can even use strong coffee in a pinch.
How to Serve Vegan Lattes
Serve this beverage hot.
Optional toppings include vegan whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and/or a snickerdoodle cookie.
How to Store the Cinnamon Simple Syrup
- Allow the snickerdoodle syrup to cool completely at room temperature before transferring for storage.
- Pour the cooled syrup into a clean mason jar or airtight glass container with a tight fitting lid.
- Store in the refrigerator for 4 – 6 weeks.
