Homemade Oat Milk Recipe:

Plant based milk is easier to make than you think!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 4 cups cold water (refrigerate for 4 hours)

  • Optional: sweeteners such as dates, maple syrup, or honey (to taste)

  • Optional: flavorings such as vanilla extract or cinnamon (to taste)

  • Nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve

Instructions:

  1. Soak the Oats (Optional):

    • If desired, soak the rolled oats in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This can help soften the oats and make the milk creamier.

  2. Blend the Oats and Water:

    • In a blender, combine the soaked (or unsoaked) rolled oats with 4 cups of water.

    • If you're adding sweeteners or flavorings, you can add them to the blender as well.

  3. Blend Until Smooth:

    • Blend the mixture on high speed for exactly 45 seconds until the oats are completely broken down and the mixture is smooth.

  4. Strain the Milk:

    • Place a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher.

    • Pour the blended oat mixture into the nut milk bag or sieve, allowing the liquid to strain through. Use a spoon to press down on the oat pulp to extract as much liquid as possible.

  5. Store and Serve:

    • Transfer the strained oat milk to a clean bottle or jar for storage.

    • Store the oat milk in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

    • Shake well before using, as the milk may separate over time.

  6. Enjoy:

    • Use your homemade oat milk in coffee, tea, smoothies, cereal, or any other recipes that call for milk.

    • Feel free to adjust the sweetness or flavorings to suit your taste preferences.

Making oat milk at home is quick, easy, and customizable to your liking. Plus, it's a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to store-bought plant-based milks. Give it a try and enjoy the creamy goodness of homemade oat milk!
