Ingredients

2 servings

1 1/2 cups (360 mL) unsweetened oat milk*
2 tbsp creamy almond butter
2 soft large(ish) (Medjool dates, pitted and torn in half)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, (extra for dusting the top)
A pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large strip of orange peel
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 - 1/2 cup (60 - 120 mL) strongly brewed hot coffee**

Instructions

Add the oat milk, almond butter, dates, cinnamon, cayenne, orange peel, and vanilla to a small or medium saucepan. Bring to a rapid simmer and maintain it for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
Remove the milk from the heat and transfer it to a high-powered blender. Remove the center cap of the blender and cover with a dish towel to allow steam to escape. Blend on high until the mixture is very smooth and creamy, and all of the dates and orange peel are pulverized. Taste and adjust flavors as necessary.
Divide the hot coffee into two coffee mugs and then pour the almond butter date milk into each mug. Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!
