Oat milk is a plant-based milk alternative that is free from many common allergens, for example, soy, dairy, coconut and nuts. We especially think oat milk is excellent because it can serve a variety of dietary needs and is a healthier option when made from scratch.
This is not only an affordable option but healthy too since this recipe only requires 3 simple whole food plant-based ingredients.
THIS OAT MILK RECIPE ONLY REQUIRES 3 INGREDIENTS:
- Water
- Sea Salt
- Oats
For this oat milk recipe is essential to have either a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and blender. You can also use a netted strainer as a replacement for a cheesecloth. A netted strainer may be a more accessible item if you’re just looking to give this recipe a try! This recipe is easy and quick to make. Also it won’t be a big hassle to incorporate into a weekly meal prep since oats are a common ingredient in a wholefood plant-based diet.
How to Make Oat Milk
To make this creamy and overall delicious oat milk recipe, follow these simple and easy steps:
- Soak your oats thoroughly! It’s essential to soak your oats in cold water ‘til they become fluffy for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Drain your soaked oats to remove any excess starch from the soaking process.
- Blend your oats with 3 cups of water for about 30 seconds.
- Strain your oats using a netted strainer, nut milk bag or cheesecloth. With the nut milk bag or cheesecloth, it is best to double strain your oat milk to ensure the consistency is silky smooth. This step will be the best practise for those frothy lattes!
Note: Do not over blend the oats, this will result in a failed attempt at having that creamy oat milk texture. I learned this on my first attempt at this recipe! Therefore, be gentle with your oats in the blending process. If you have a high-speed blender, you may only need 15 seconds to get to the correct consistency. It will look closer to oatmeal when it is just right!
