A quick and easy blender oat milk matcha latte that’s made with only 2 ingredients. No matcha whisk or frother needed! This matcha latte requires only 5 minutes of preparation and is much cheaper than the coffee shop version.
I fell in love with oat milk matcha lattes while traveling in Europe in 2019. While I love the idea of enjoying a fresh cup of coffee in a small French café, I’m one of those people that can’t drink coffee without feeling anxious all day. For this reason, my go-to coffee shop order is a matcha latte.
That being said, as much as I love matcha lattes, they can be extremely expensive at restaurants or coffee shops. Because of this, they are an occasional treat while I travel. On most days, I make myself this quick and easy oat milk matcha latte at home, for a fraction of the price. And the best part? All you need is 5 minutes, a blender and two ingredients (plus optional sweetener).
This recipe was originally published in 2020 and has been a blog favorite ever since. It has now been updated with new photos and extra details to help you make the best matcha latte.
Oat milk can be found at most grocery stores nowadays. Several large plant-based beverage brands carry a kind of oat milk. If you can’t find it at your regular grocery store, check health food stores in your region and you should find it.
Here in Canada, we don’t have the amazing Oatly (in most stores) that could be found all over Europe. However, a few brands do carry oat milk over here. My personal favorite is the one by Earth’s Own (you can also buy it online). A barista blend is also a great option for an extra frothy latte.
Thankfully, many coffee shops, including Starbucks, now offer an oat milk option as well.
Yes! You can make a matcha latte with your favorite milk. Just make sure to use one that you enjoy in lattes. Of course this recipe is made with oat milk, which is my personal favorite milk for lattes.
The best matcha for making lattes is a ceremonial matcha. It’s a better quality than culinary grade matcha and has a better flavor, plus a beautiful bright green color (you can see the difference in color in the photo above). However, ceremonial matcha can be significantly more expensive than culinary matcha. Choose a matcha that fits into your budget (make sure that it’s 100% matcha and not a latte blend).
That being said, I do love using this DoMatcha ceremonial matcha when I want the beautiful bright green color and better quality. I’ve also heard good things about Encha matcha. Otherwise, I tend to use a more budget-friendly option. If you want to learn more about matcha, I love this guide by Veggiekins.
Matcha lattes are typically made using a matcha whisk and warm frothed milk. You add a small amount of warm water to your matcha and whisk with a matcha whisk before adding it to your frothed warm milk.
For those that don’t own a matcha whisk or even a frother, there’s another way! I personally love to use my blender to make my matcha lattes. It’s simple and could save you from buying new kitchen tools.
All you need to do is warm your oat milk, either by using a microwave or a saucepan. You then add the warm milk with the matcha and sweetener (optional) to a blender and blend until frothy. That’s it! Just make sure that your milk isn’t boiling. It’s best to use a warm, but not very hot liquid to prepare matcha.

I hope you’ll love this matcha latte as much as I do.

I made this latte and loved it. I've tried it with almond milk and lactose free 2% and the oat by far taste the beat to me.

I'm so happy you like it Mariah! Thank you for sharing your feedback. :)
I'm yet to try it and I have a question.. what if I heated the milk after blending? I'm asking this because I know that a lot of times when I blend curry paste after little cooking I have to ensure it cools down a bit before putting it in the blending (recommended by the chefs I follow for a particular curry recipe).
Thank you!
Hi! Good question. Matcha is best when made with warm, not boiling liquids or the taste will be affected. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend heating the matcha after blending as it will affect the taste. I would recommend heating your milk until warm, but not boiling. I've never had an issue adding hot liquids in a blender and blenders are often used for blending hot soups, so this is similar. Just be careful when you remove the lid. That being said, I do have an iced blender matcha if you prefer not to risk adding hot liquids to your blender. I hope this helps!
This is so good, I did one cup oat milk and 1/4 cup coffee creamer, just enough sweetness. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback Melanie! I'm so happy you loved the recipe. :)
In order to release L-theanine you must use hot water with the matcha powder first. IMO I would suggest the old fashioned way, you are losing the health benefits (L-theanine release and mindfulness while whisking).
You can certainly use other methods to prepare matcha. This recipe doesn't use a traditional method and is made for those who are looking for a whisk-free option. I understand that it's not for everyone and you're free to use it for inspiration or not. :)
Yum!! That was so easy--I was going to try to make a matcha latte with the special whisk, but this version is delicious
Thank you Donna, I'm so happy that you enjoyed this blender matcha! :)
This was so simple yet so delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Thank you Isobel! I'm happy that you enjoyed it. :)
