Is it fair to call it a Starbucks copycat recipe if it's not actually released at Starbucks yet?

Whenever I learn about new Starbucks drinks being released, I start doing research immediately. Sometimes I get lucky and the coffee shop publishes the landing page for the drink, featuring the full drink descriptions and ingredients.

That's what happened with the new Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino. So, I gathered all my ingredients and started testing recipes immediately. But when the new summer drink release day arrived, the cinnamon Frappuccino was nowhere in sight.

Upon digging into my Starbucks insiders' groups, I learned that the drink's release was delayed, likely due to issues with getting the nondairy whipped cream consistent across coffee shops.

So that means that I can't guarantee that this Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino tastes just like the coffee shop version, but it's a pretty fabulous and delicious sweet and icy drink. And once it's officially released at Starbucks, I'll immediately taste it and tweak it in any way necessary.

In the meantime, you've seen it here first!

❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

If you're a fan of Starbucks' coffee-based Frappuccinos, you'll love their first cinnamon-flavored one. Cinnamon coffee is my favorite coffee and this sweet and icy concoction is the best summer treat.

When it's released, this will also be Starbucks' first dairy-free Frappuccino as it's made with oat milk and dairy-free whipped cream. That's something to celebrate for all Frappuccino lovers who can't have dairy.

Plus, now that you have this copycat recipe, you can essentially make any of my copycat Frappuccino recipes dairy-free.

Frappuccinos are easy to make at home with a few basic ingredients. For this one, I made my own toasted cinnamon syrup and then added everything to a blender and blended away. Easy peasy!

🗒 Ingredients

I try my best to make my Starbucks copycat recipes as close to the original versions as I can, which is why I always check out the ingredients lists.

Based on the ingredients, this is my closest guess as to how the Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino should be made. Once the drink is officially available for purchase, I will, of course, try it and tweak this recipe if needed.

Here's everything you need for the Frappuccino (be sure to view the recipe card at the bottom of this post for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions):

• Oat milk: I like to use barista-style or extra creamy
• Strongly brewed coffee: you can also use espresso if preferred. I personally love using Starbucks Espresso Roast Coffee
• Toasted cinnamon syrup: I share my recipe in this post. It doesn't appear that there's a toasted cinnamon syrup you can purchase, but you can use a regular cinnamon syrup if you prefer
• Xanthan gum: this helps thicken the Frappuccino. If you can't find it, you can substitute with cornstarch, but you'll need to use a little bit more
• Ice
• Vanilla cookies: like Golden Oreo or Nilla Wafers
• Ground cinnamon
• Nondairy whipped cream: you can use regular whipped cream if you prefer, but only if you can have dairy, of course

And if you're making the toasted cinnamon syrup from scratch, here's what you need:

• Cinnamon sticks
• Water
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar

👩‍🍳 How to make toasted cinnamon syrup

First up, you'll want to make the toasted cinnamon syrup. And that means toasting your cinnamon sticks!

I like to toast mine in a cast iron skillet, but you can also pop them in the oven (or toaster oven) if you prefer.

Allow the cinnamon sticks to toast for about 3-5 minutes, turning them occasionally with tongs to ensure they're toasting evenly.

Let them toast until they're starting to darken and get fragrant. I love that toasted cinnamon smell in my kitchen!

Now, put water, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon sticks in a medium-size saucepan.

Bring mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, until syrup has thickened.

Note that it will continue to thicken as it cools.

Remove from heat and strain cinnamon sticks out of syrup into a heat-proof bowl or mason jar.

Place bowl or jar in fridge to cool completely before using.

You've gotta taste that toasted cinnamon syrup before using it. It's so fragrant and delicious. And there are SO many ways you could use it!

🍦 How to make Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino

Now that your syrup is ready, you're ready to whip up the Frappuccino.

According to Starbucks, the cinnamon crumble topping has a lot of ingredients in it, but I opted to keep things simple by just picking out the main ones: vanilla cookies and cinnamon.

I used Golden Oreo cookies (with the creme removed), but Nilla Wafers would work well, too. And just mixed them in a bowl with ground cinnamon.

Then I added my Frappuccino ingredients to a blender: oat milk, strongly brewed coffee, toasted cinnamon syrup, xanthan gum, and ice.

And I processed it until the mixture was nice and smooth and frothy.

The xanthan gum really helps the mixture froth up and gives it the consistency of an actual Starbucks Frappuccino.

Pour it into a cup.

And top it with whipped cream and the cinnamon crumble topping.

Of course, Starbucks uses nondairy whipped cream since their Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino is dairy-free. You can find dairy-free whipped cream in most grocery stores these days, but if you're not concerned about keeping the drink sans dairy, you can certainly use regular whipped cream.

As a serious cinnamon lover, I am absolutely in love with this new, hopefully soon-to-be-released Frappuccino.

To be honest, I never really order Frappuccinos from Starbucks (except for taste-testing purposes) as I prefer lots of coffee flavor and not a lot of sugar in my drinks. But the Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino is one I would actually order as a special treat.

I love that it does have some coffee flavor and lots and lots of cinnamon.

Until you can get this Frappuccino at Starbucks, you need to try this make-at-home version!

🎉 How to customize

One of the best things about making Starbucks drinks at home is that it's so easy to customize them to your own personal tastes.

Here are some recommendations on how you can customize the Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino:

• If you want the drink to have more cinnamon flavor and to be sweeter, you can certainly add more cinnamon syrup. If you want less sugar, you can use less syrup, but you may want to sprinkle in some ground cinnamon to keep that prominent cinnamon flavor.

• The oat milk goes really well with the cinnamon flavor, but you can use any kind of dairy or nondairy alternative that you want in this cinnamon Frappuccino. Coconut milk would be delicious, as would almond milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk.

• If you don't want to make your own toasted cinnamon syrup, you can use store-bought regular cinnamon syrup. The drink won't have that "toasted" flavor to it, but it will still be super tasty.

• I personally think this drink would be absolutely incredible with a caramel sauce drizzle.
• If you don't have any vanilla cookies, just sprinkle ground cinnamon over the whipped cream.
• Feel free to use decaf coffee in the Frappuccino. You could also use espresso if you prefer. Or you can leave the coffee out altogether and simply use more oat milk.

⚡️ How much caffeine is in this drink?

According to the Starbucks website, the Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino you get in-store has about 95 mg caffeine in it.

Of course, when you make it at home, how much caffeine it contains will depend on what kind of coffee you use and how strongly brewed it is. I do recommend using a strongly brewed coffee since you don't add a lot of it to the drink.

Once you learn the basic Frappuccino recipe of your preference, the flavor options really are endless.

Now, you're ready to make the Starbucks Cinnamon Crumble Oatmilk Frappuccino at home before you have it at the coffee shop.

And it's very likely to become your special treat coffee drink of the summer!
