Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, or oat milk recommended)
  • 12 tsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (softened; vegan butter optional)
  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp rolled oats, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 3 tbsp softened unsalted butter and mix with fingers or fork until coarse crumbs form (about 5 minutes).
  2. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Toast the crumble mixture, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong espresso or coffee. Let it cool slightly.
  4. In a blender, combine ½ cup fresh or thawed blueberries, ¾ cup (180 ml) milk, and 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth (pulse briefly for chunkier texture).
  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour brewed coffee over the ice.
  6. Slowly add the blueberry milk mixture to the glass, stirring gently to create a swirl effect.
  7. Sprinkle the toasted crumble topping generously over the latte.
  8. Optionally garnish with fresh blueberries or a light dusting of cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Notes

Toast the crumble topping carefully to avoid burning; stir constantly and keep heat moderate. Blend blueberries smoothly to avoid gritty texture; add more milk if too thick. Brew coffee stronger than usual to balance milk and fruit. Add crumble topping just before serving to keep it crunchy. Crumble topping can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
