- 2 cups oat milk e.g, Alpro's This is Not milk
- 15 g baobab powder
- 5 ml date syrup
- 2 tbsp vegan cream Whipped - e.g., Elmea for topping (optional)
To a blender, add the oat milk, date syrup, and baobab powder. Blend the mixture until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps remaining.
Heat a skillet over medium to high heat.Pour the blended mixture into the skillet and stir slowly for about 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes hot. Once hot, remove the skillet from the heat and pour the baobab latte into a mug.
Top the latte with a dollop of whipped vegan cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
For added flavour and presentation, sprinkle a bit of baobab powder or drizzle extra date syrup on top.
Pro tip: When making the baobab latte, be cautious not to boil the baobab for too long as it may split. Remove it from the stove as soon as it gets hot to enjoy a smooth and creamy beverage.
Experiment with different quantities of baobab powder to find your preferred level of tanginess and sweetness in the baobab latte.
If you don't have oat milk on hand, feel free to substitute it with any other plant-based milk of your choice. Almond milk or coconut milk work particularly well in this recipe.
