At Home Oat Milk Recipe

Homemade Oat Milk

Forget the almond cow, we are simplifying plant-based milk with this recipe! Oat milk takes 30 seconds to make (I'm not kidding, really 30 seconds) and with a few tips and tricks, it will be the BEST oat milk you've ever had! It's frothable, creamy and perfect for cereal, lattes, baking and more!
Prep Time 1 minute
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings: 3 cups

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional, but recommended!
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups ice water

Instructions 

  1. In a large blender, add the oats, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Cover with the ice water.
  2. Blend for 30 seconds max (this is the most important part!) Over-blending will lead to a slimy texture, plus 30 seconds will be plenty of time!
  3. Immediately strain through a cheesecloth. I've found a cheesecloth is the best straining tool, a normal strainer will let in too much meal and will lead to a grainy milk.
  4. Use your hand to squeeze the milk through the strainer, do this step slowly to ensure you get all the milk out.
  5. Chill in the fridge and use as-needed. This will make 24 ounces and last for up to 4 days!
