Ingredients

  • 110 g oats
  • 750 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients into a blender.
  2. Blend until the oats are as fine as possible.
  3. Place a nut milk bag (or muslin) over a bowl, and empty the oat mixture into it.
  4. Squeeze the bag to extract as much milk as possible.
  5. Pour into a glass or bottle and refrigerate.

Notes

  • Homemade oat milk is best enjoyed cold, so chill it in the fridge before serving.
  • Don't throw the leftover pulp away. It can be added to smoothies and porridge so nothing goes to waste.
  • It is totally normal for oat milk to separate. Just give it a shake before serving.
  • Don't over squeeze the liquid, as you will squeeze out starch too which will make it extra slimy.
  • Homemade oat milk won't get frothy like store bought will, as it doesn't have the same stabilisers added.
  • Salt is optional, but it does enhance the flavour.
  • To ensure this recipe is definitely gluten free, use oats that are certified gluten free.
