Homemade Oat Milk
Oat ‘Milk’
This “recipe” is so simple, plus way more economical and often healthier than store-bought oat ‘milk.’ Go to town with potential flavor additions. You could add one or two tablespoons of chocolate powder, coffee powder, matcha, cinnamon, dates, or berries before blending, or maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt after. It’s most useful as a cereal milk, blended into smoothies or to foam up for a steamer or latte but is a fabulous substitution for dairy in most baked goods – just be aware the recipe calls for milk and not cream!
Yield: About 3 1/2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 cups of water
Process
- Blend water and oats in blender, Vitamix, food processor, or with a hand blender on high for 30-45 seconds. Avoid overblending, as you can overturn this and go beyond the silky milk desired to a thicker glop.
- Pour mix through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth without pressing too much; strain twice if you prefer a smoother milk. Toss out the pulp or save to use in smoothies or baked oatmeal recipes! Cover, refrigerate, and enjoy within five days, giving it a shake before using.
