Description
This smooth and creamy homemade oat milk is a quick, budget-friendly, and delicious plant-based alternative to dairy milk. Made with just a few ingredients in under five minutes, it’s perfect for coffee, cereal, smoothies, or baking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole rolled oats
- 3 cups water
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, water, maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds, avoiding over-blending to prevent sliminess.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the mixture through. Let it drain naturally without pressing the pulp.
- For a smoother result, strain a second time using the same method.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup.
- Chill the oat milk before serving. Shake gently before each use or pour from the top for a creamier texture.
Notes
- Do not squeeze the oat pulp during straining to avoid slimy texture.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
- Heating oat milk too quickly can cause thickening—warm gently if needed.
