1 cup (medium) of Flat white with oat milk (240 g) has 91 calories. That works out to 38 calories per 100 g. It contains 12.5 g of carbs, 2.6 g of protein, 3.1 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 288 mg of Calcium covers 29% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 42 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Flat white with oat milk pairs espresso with steamed oat milk, creating a smooth drink with a concentrated coffee flavour and a thin, velvety layer of foam. The flat white is closely associated with café culture in Australia and New Zealand, though it is now served in coffee shops around the world. Oat milk gives this version a gentle natural sweetness without hiding the espresso.
It works well as a morning coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up, on its own or alongside a pastry. Nutritionally, it is mainly a coffee-and-oat drink, with some carbohydrate and relatively little protein. Its energy content can vary with the oat milk and any added sweetener, so ordering it without syrup is a simple way to keep the flavour balanced and the drink less sweet.

It depends on how many espresso shots the café uses and the coffee itself; the oat milk does not remove the caffeine. Ask how many shots are in the drink if you want to compare it with your usual coffee.
Not necessarily. Espresso and oat milk can be served without added sugar, but some oat milks are sweetened. Ask for unsweetened oat milk and skip syrups if you want to avoid added sugar.
It usually tastes more coffee-forward because a flat white has less milk relative to its espresso than a latte. That does not automatically mean more caffeine: the number of espresso shots can vary between cafés.
It is usually best to avoid it close to bedtime if caffeine affects your sleep. The espresso can make it harder to fall asleep, even though the drink contains oat milk; choose a caffeine-free option instead.
Pull a shot or shots of espresso, steam oat milk until it is silky with a fine layer of microfoam, then pour it into the espresso. Barista-style oat milk is often easier to steam and pour smoothly.
Oat milk can split when very hot milk meets acidic espresso, especially if the milk is overheated. Warm it gently, pour it slowly into the espresso, and try barista-style oat milk, which is designed to work better in coffee.
Oat milk may produce thin foam if it is not made for steaming, is too warm before steaming, or is over-aerated. Start with cold barista-style oat milk and add only a little air before texturing it until smooth.
Yes, it contributes fluid, but it is not a substitute for water. Its espresso contains caffeine, which can increase urination slightly in some people, so drink water as well if you are thirsty.
Yes, when it is made with oat milk and no dairy ingredients, it is dairy-free. At a café, ask about shared steam wands or other preparation equipment if even small amounts of dairy matter to you.
Yes. Pour espresso over ice and add cold oat milk; stir gently to combine. The iced version will not have the same warm, velvety microfoam as a freshly steamed flat white.
