Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Optional sweetener (e.g., maple syrup or honey)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rolled oats thoroughly under running water to remove excess starch, which can make the oat milk slimy.
Step 2
Add the rinsed oats and 4 cups of water to a blender.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high speed for 30–45 seconds until the oats are fully broken down and the liquid looks creamy.
Step 4
If desired, add a tablespoon of sweetener, 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender and pulse to combine.
Step 5
Strain the oat milk through a nut milk bag, fine mesh strainer, or clean kitchen towel into a large bowl or pitcher. Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 6
Pour the strained oat milk into a sealable bottle or container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
Step 7
Shake well before each use, as the oat milk may naturally separate over time.
