Description
A simple, creamy, and customizable homemade oat milk that’s naturally sweetened, dairy-free, and perfect for use in coffee, smoothies, cereal, or as a drink on its own.
Ingredients
1 cup organic rolled oats
3 cups freezing cold filtered water (adjust for thickness)
1 tablespoon maple syrup, date syrup, or sweetener of choice
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, cold water, sweetener of choice, and pinch of salt to a blender.
- Blend for 25-30 seconds. Be careful not to over-blend, as it can cause the milk to become gummy.
- Strain the oat milk through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or jar. Gently squeeze the bag to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Pour the strained oat milk into a mason jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use, as oat milk separates naturally over time.
- Enjoy your homemade oat milk in coffee, smoothies, cereal, or simply as a drink!
Notes
- Thicker oat milk: Use less water or blend longer for a creamier texture, perfect for coffee lattes or smoothies.
- Sweetener options: Swap maple syrup for agave nectar, coconut sugar, or dates.
- Flavored oat milk: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
- Unsweetened version: Omit the sweetener for savory dishes or a no-sugar option.
