How to Make Oat Milk
Make your own oat milk, cheap and easy!
Equipment
- blender
Ingredients
- 1 part oats
- 4 parts water
- pinch of salt
- pinch of xanthan gum optional--it makes your milk more homogenous so you don't have to shake it before every use
Instructions
- Place the oats in a jar and cover with cool water. To make 2 cups of oat milk, use 1/4 cup oats and 2 cups cool water. Allow to sit overnight or at least 6 hours.
- The next day, drain the oats and place them in the blender. Add 2 cups fresh cool water and the salt and the xanthan gum. Blend on high for at least 1-2 minutes. Drain the oat milk through a sieve, a cheesecloth or a nut milk bag.

Notes
Variations:
For a sweetened oat milk, add 2 dates to the soaking oats.
For cinnamon oat milk, add 1/4-1/2 tsp of cinnamon before blending
For vanilla oat milk, add 1/2-1 tsp vanilla before blending
To make coffee creamer, add less water on the final blend NOTE: important to use cool/cold water, as warm/hot water will make your oat milk slimy!
