How To Make Oat Milk (Non-Slimy + Tips!)

This oat milk recipe involves blending rolled oats with ice-cold water for a short time, then straining the mixture to produce smooth, non-slimy oat milk. Optional additions like maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt can enhance flavor. The strain ensures a creamy yet light plant-based milk with minimal sediment or sliminess.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 4 cups water ice cold
Optional
  • 1 to 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add oats, water, and any additional sweeteners to a high-powered blender. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds. Make sure to not over-blend.
  2. Strain the oat milk mixture by pouring through a nut milk bag or thin towel over a large mixing bowl or pitcher. If you'd like, you can double strain the mixture to make sure all the sediment is removed.
  3. Transfer the oat milk to a sealed container and store in the fridge.

Notes

  • Use a nut milk bag or thin towel to strain the blended oats thoroughly and reduce sediment.
  • Blend the oats with ice-cold water and only for 20 to 30 seconds to avoid sliminess.
  • Optional sweeteners like maple syrup and vanilla extract can be added before blending for flavor.
  • Store the finished oat milk in a sealed container in the fridge and use within a few days.
  • Recommended tools include a high-powered blender, nut milk bag, and a large glass bowl for easy pouring.
