Ingredients

Oat Milk
  • 1 cup rolled oats 90 g
  • 4 cups cold water 700 mL
  • pinch of salt
Optional Flavors
  • Sweetened: 1 Tbsp maple syrup, 1 Medjool date, or 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • Vanilla: 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Chocolate: 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Berry: ½ cup mixed berries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend: Add 1 cup rolled oats and 4 cups cold water to a blender. Blitz just until oats are broken down, about 30 seconds (lean on the side of blending too little - over blending can release the oat starches and make the oat milk slimy).
  2. 1st Strain: Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl or pitcher, making sure not to press any pulp (this can lead to slimy oat milk). Discard the oat pulp.
  3. 2nd Strain (optional): Lay a cheesecloth or thin dish towel in a colander and pour mixture through (use a nut milk bag if you have it). Do not squeeze, just let the milk drain out (squeezing can cause slimy oat milk). Discard the oat pulp.
  4. Adjust: Add a pinch of salt and optionally blend in your desired flavors. If oat milk is thicker than you'd like, just add a bit more water (up to 1 cup). Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Store your milk in an airtight container, and be sure to keep it refrigerated. Enjoy within 5 days straight from the fridge!
