Easy Oat Milk

Homemade oat milk is easier than you might think. It’s also much more affordable than store-bought oat milk, and totally free of any added preservatives. Plus, you can control the sweetness and other flavorings so they’re perfect for your personal taste.

This easy oat milk recipe only requires two ingredients, but you can add whatever else you want, from vanilla extract and sea salt to cinnamon or cocoa powder. Sweeten it with maple syrup, honey, agave, stevia, or nothing at all.

See a video demo of the recipe, and get tips on how to avoid slimy oat milk and use the leftover oat pulp.

Special Equipment: You’ll need a blender for this recipe. A nut milk bag is helpful for straining, but if you don’t have one, you can strain your oat milk through cheesecloth, a large fine mesh strainer, or even the cut-off end of a clean nylon stocking.

Notes: The oat milk will keep for a week in the fridge. Separation is natural, so give it a shake before using (and store it in a large mason jar or other tightly lidded container). Be sure to use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
