Oat milk is simply rolled oats and water blended together then strained to leave the pulp behind. The result is easy, creamy, DIY oat milk!
Ingredients:
Recipe yields about 4.5 cups/1 liter of oat milk.
- 1 cup / 2.5 dl old-fashioned oats
- 4 1/4 cups / 1 liter cold water
- Maple syrup, dates, honey or other sweetener (optional - added until desired sweetness)
- A pinch of salt
How to:
- Add the water, oats, sweetener of choice and salt to your blender.
- Blend for around 30 seconds (If you blend it longer, the consistency of the milk can get slimy).
- Strain the mixture through your nut milk bag
- Taste and stir in more sweetener or salt if desired.
- Transfer to an airtight bottle and enjoy!
Use your homemade oat milk in coffee, baking, oatmeal and much more! It is also delicious on its own!
The milk lasts around 4-5 days in the fridge. If the oat milk separates, simply give it a good shake before using it.
Variations:
- Use less water if you want a thicker consistency.
- Try mixing in vanilla, berries, coconut or cocoa powder for a yummy twist! Simply put whatever you'd like to add in the blender with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add a small handful of soaked cashew nuts when blending for a creamy consistency that is perfect for coffee.
