Easy Oat Milk Recipe

Hey guys, it’s me checking in on you from home (where else?)! If you are missing coffee shops as much as I am right now then you need this easy oat milk recipe in your life. I initially wanted to create a yummy coffee drink to share but once I randomly made my own oat milk I knew it deserved it’s own blog post since I got so many comments about it on my instastories. So save it, pin it, make it! This easy oat milk recipe is just for you and I know you’ll easily become just as obsessed with it as I am.

Crave-worthy

So what makes oat milk so crave-worthy? Not only is it obviously dairy free, but it’s also creamy, naturally sweet and irresistible. I fell in love the first time I tried it steamed for a cappuccino 😍. It froths so beautifully!! And now I am currently googling a frother because… coronavirus.

Truthfully, homemade oat milk works best in cold drink recipes unless you are planning to froth it while it’s hot. If poured into a hot cup the blended oats will thicken a bit and make your drink a nice gummy-ish texture which is obviously NOT what you want. Try it in an iced latte, blended coffee, tea, smoothie, or as a substitute for milk in your favorite bowl of cereal!

Bonus, save money and skip extra chemicals used to create store-bought oat milk. This recipes makes 4 cups of oat milk and costs PENNIES to make 🙌.

*Frozen coffee cubes, oat milk, cinnamon ans stevia makes a yummy iced coffee!*

*Oat milk is coffee’s best friend. Hello creaminess😍.*

Recipe

Here we go…! Just two ingredients: whole rolled oats + water. (plus a dash of salt!)

Soak 3/4 cups oats in water for at least 30 mins.
Rinse the oats in a fine mesh strainer for a minute.
Transfer the rinsed oats to a blender with 4 cups purified water + a pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth on high. Take breaks and blend again to ensure every oat piece gets blended!
Transfer to a large lidded jar or mason jar and store in the fridge immediately. *I chilled mine overnight before using but 4 hours should do it!*

I’m excited to start experimenting with this oat milk in all of my favorite drink recipes! If you enjoyed this one then check out my Healthy Banana Bread Muffins and Vegan Vanilla Buttercream to get your full coffee shop fix!
