Ingredients
3 cups old-fashioned oats
9 cups water
Instructions
Soak the Oats:
Add the oats to a bowl and cover with 9 cups of water. Let the oats soak for 30 minutes to soften.
Blend the Oats:
After soaking, transfer the oats and water to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.
Strain the Milk:
Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve to separate the oat milk from the pulp. You can save the pulp to make oatmeal or add it to baked goods for extra fiber.
Store and Refrigerate:
Transfer the oat milk to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake before each use as oat milk may naturally separate.
Notes
Flavoring: If you like sweetened oat milk, you can blend in a bit of vanilla extract, honey, or maple syrup while blending.
Nut-Free: Oat milk is naturally nut-free and can be a great alternative for people with nut allergies.
Gluten-Free: If you use gluten-free oats, your homemade oat milk will be completely gluten-free.
Soaking Tip: If you’re concerned about phytic acid, rinse the oats after soaking and replace the soaking water with fresh water before blending.
Uses: This oat milk is perfect for lattes, smoothies, or simply poured over cereal.
Pro Tip: Homemade oat milk can easily be customized to fit your taste preferences. You can add a pinch of salt, sweeteners, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. It’s a quick, eco-friendly alternative to store-bought milk!
