This versatile oat milk recipe can be used in cooking, baking or with chocolate chip cookies. Deliciously creamy and free of gums and fillers.
Equipment
high-speed blender
Ingredients
1
cup
steel-cut oats
or whichever kind you prefer
3
cups
water
+ enough water to soak oats
1
tbsp
coconut oil
optional
2
tbsp
maple syrup
optional
½
tsp
vanilla extract
optional
Pinch
sea salt
optional
Instructions
Soak
steel-cut oats in bowl of water (just enough water to completely cover the oats) for 20 minutes prior to blending.
Drain
excess water.
Place
soaked oats and 3 cups water in high-speed blender.
Strain
through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth into a wide glass bowl.
Discard
pulp from bag or cheesecloth.
Rinse
the blender and
pour
the milk back into the blender from the bowl.
Add
the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla (if using), and salt.
Blend
for 10 seconds.
Notes
Save pulp for using in smoothies, baked goods or overnight oats.
As an alternative to maple syrup, use fresh pitted dates to sweeten instead.
Alternate flavoring options include 2 Tbsps cacao powder for a chocolate option, or 1/2 cup berries for a berry flavored oat milk.
