How to Make Oat Milk

Prep Time: 5

Total Time: 5

Serves 4

There's no need to get store bought oat milk when you can make your own at home! Creamy and smooth, it's perfect for adding to coffee, baking recipes, or cereal!

Ingredients

½ cup whole rolled oats
3 cups water
2 teaspoons maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Combine the oats, water, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and strain the milk without pushing any excess pulp through the strainer. This will create a creamier texture that’s not gritty or gummy.
Add more maple syrup, to taste, if desired. Chill overnight. If you want to drink your oat milk right away, I recommend adding ice - it's flavor is best when well chilled.

Notes

If you're gluten free, be sure to get oats that are Certified Gluten Free.

As the oat milk sits in the fridge, natural separation will occur. You can shake it, if you like, but I like its texture best when I leave pulp at the bottom and pour off the top.
