How to Make Oat Milk

You’ll want to gather all of the ingredients and then follow my tips for making oat milk. I promise, it’s way easier than you ever thought possible.

• Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Quart Mason Jar or quart size container with a lid

Ingredients for Making Oat Milk

I can tell you that I didn’t think it would take many ingredients to make Oat Milk and I was right. I will walk you through the ingredients you need to make it and before long, you’ll be able to make oat milk in no time. Here are some of the ingredients you’ll need.

• 1 cup Old-Fashioned Oatmeal (uncooked)
• 4 cups cold water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla, Stevia, Agave, Honey, or Maple Syrup (optional)
• 5 Dates (pits removed-I used Organic Medjool Dates)
• Salt (optional), I did not use any

Add the cold water with your dates into your blender.

Blend the dates until smooth before adding the oatmeal because it sweetens the water.

Add the oatmeal and blend only for about 10-15 seconds if you are using a Vitamix or BlendTec.

Otherwise, your oat milk may become slimy if you blend longer. Less is best, in other words.

Then strain with a nut bag or clean T-shirt piece of cloth, by letting the milk drip into a bowl.

Pour into a quart mason jar and add vanilla to taste. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can make a bowl of oatmeal with the “pulp”, just add cinnamon, sweetener of choice and heat it up.

Compare Recipe To Store-Bought Oat Milk

I am a firm believer that everything is better made at home. When you make it yourself, you know exactly what is going in it. Whether you buy it or make it yourself, you have to be willing to compare the prices and the ingredients in it. This is just an example of some oat milk that I found at my local store. The prices may vary from a store near you.

I found that making it myself was a lot cheaper, but I also had a lot of the ingredients on hand already. You may find that it’s cheaper for you to buy. In my opinion, it’s always fun to try something at least once.

This Homemade Oat Milk literally goes with everything. You can eat a bowl of cereal with it or use oat milk in your favorite recipes in place of the regular milk. Keep in mind, if you are allergic to oatmeal this product isn’t for you.

How Healthy is Oat Milk?

Think about this for a second. Oatmeal is one of the healthiest foods you can buy. Oat milk is very healthy. It has around 3-4 grams of protein per serving. You will also find Vitamin A & D in oat milk, which makes it an even better option if you are looking for a regular milk substitute.

Which is Healthier: Oat Milk or Almond Milk?

Honestly, each type of milk out there brings different nutrients to the table. Oat milk brings lots of nutrients, but so does almond milk. Almond milk is also packed with vitamins and protein. You just have to pick a milk that you love and roll with it. You’ll find each type of milk has a different flavor and texture. Go with what meets your needs best.
