How to Make Oat Milk

Oat milk, nutritious, easy to digest and very tasty. You only need 5 ingredients and it takes just 15 minutes to prepare.

Oat milk is one of the most popular non-dairy milks. It is a satiating drink beneficial for the intestinal flora that helps reduce cholesterol. Oatmeal is the most nutritionally balanced cereal due to its great contribution of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

It is the perfect vegetable drink if you are lactose intolerant or if you are looking for alternatives to cow’s milk. In addition, it is much healthier than those sold in supermarkets, since it only contains natural ingredients.

This oat milk recipe includes dates and vanilla, making it taste even more spectacular. You can take it hot or cold and you can add it to numerous sweet and savory dishes. It is prepared in just 15 minutes and you do not need more than 5 ingredients.

I have tried many types of vegetable milk and I have shared several recipes on the blog, in fact you can find a compilation with 9 of my favorite vegetable milks , but the oat milk is undoubtedly the one I like the most for day to day.

How to make oat milk – Step by step

1. Leave the oat flakes in a container with water for at least 30 minutes .
2. Strain the oats and wash it with water.
3. Pour it into a blender or food processor together with the rest of the ingredients and 1 liter of clean water. Bat for about 2 minutes. Let it rest for 1 hour (you can take it immediately, but it is better if you let it rest).
4. Strain the oat milk through cheesecloth, cloth or a very fine strainer to separate the liquid from the oat flakes. Strain again 2 or 3 more times to completely remove the remains. It is not essential to strain the milk more than once, but it is better that way.

Tips

• Instead of syrup, you can use 1-2 Medjool dates (or double if they are Deglet Nour) or any other sweetener.
• Salt is optional, but it enhances the flavor.
• I also usually make unsweetened oat milk to prepare both sweet and savory dishes.
• To make the milk, add 3 cups (750 ml) of water, taste it, and add more water until you get the flavor and texture you want. You can also add more than 4 cups or 1 liter if you want it less thick.
