Homemade Oat Milk

Slimminess can happen if the oats were blended too long or strained too quickly. It can also happen if you use warm water as it can start breaking down the oats, which results in a slimy texture. For smoother results, blend the oats briefly with very cold water, and remember, it’s best enjoyed cold!

If using oat milk in hot drinks, heat it gently and avoid letting it come to a boil, as high heat can thicken and change the texture.

For a creamier and smoother consistency, we recommend using rolled instead of quick oats. Quick oats tend to break down faster than rolled oats which can affect the texture of the drink.

Try adding flavours like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, or cinnamon to your oat milk recipe! You can also sweeten it with maple syrup or other natural sweeteners for a delicious twist.

Yes, they can be gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats

You can use the leftover pulp from oats in smoothies, baked goods, oatmeal, or as a thickener for soups and sauces for an extra boost of fibre and nutrition!

Plant milks made at home are often fresher and free from additives like stabilizers, preservatives, or added sugars you might find in store-bought versions. That said, store-bought options are usually fortified with important nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, making them a reliable source of these essentials. Store-bought barista varieties of oat milk also froth more easily. If you follow a plant-based lifestyle, you might be at risk of low calcium if fortified products and calcium-rich foods aren’t enjoyed often. If you like making your own homemade milk, be sure to include alternative sources of calcium and vitamin D to support keeping your nutrition on track.
