Easy Oat Milk Recipe
To make oat milk, you will need a high-powered blender, organic oats, water, and cheesecloth. A pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and honey are optional ingredients to add some depth and sweetness to the milk.
Equipment
- High-powered blender I use a Ninja
- Cheesecloth
- Glass bottle with cap
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Organic old fashioned oats
- 2 cups Water cool or room temperature
- 2 tsp Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the oats and water in the blender. If desired, add the salt, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup
- Blend on high for 30 seconds and strain the liquid through the cheesecloth*
- Strain through the cheesecloth a second time if desired
- Store the milk in a glass jar in the refrigerator with a lid
- It is natural for the milk to separate. Just shake before use
Notes
* How to use the cheesecloth: I bought a pack of cheesecloth online and cut out the size that I needed to line a small strainer over a glass jar. You probably don’t need the strainer if you don’t have one that fits well, but it frees up a hand for pouring. I slowly pour some liquid into the cheesecloth and squeeze it through the fabric so that the liquid pours into the container and the bits of oat are left in the fabric. Periodically the fabric would get too full of oat pieces so I would rinse it off under cold water. I continued that process until all the liquid was strained. If you like you can strain it a second time. I like to reuse the cheesecloth multiple times so I wash it between uses.
