Homemade Oat Milk

I’ve been on an oat milk kick for a while now. You’ll see it in my smoothies, in my matcha lattes, in my oatmeal etc… so how about a homemade oat milk recipe so you can make it at home anytime you need a refill!

Homemade Oat Milk couldn’t be easier! Similar to making a homemade nut milk at home, oat milk just takes a few pantry staple ingredients, a little bit of soaking time, and voila… done! It’s great to use in any number of recipes that call for any kind of milk. Baking, fair game. Coffee and Matcha drinks, you know it. Adding it into overnight oatmeal, why not. You get the idea. Anytime a recipe calls for milk, this is a great option and it is super clean without any weird add-ins.

The recipe below calls for Old Fashioned Oats (might be seen as Rolled Oats). I keep them stocked for this recipe, my dad’s kitchen sink cookies etc… and these are the ones I keep on hand.

A few of my favorite recipes that use homemade oat milk:

Cuisine American

1/2 cup Old Fashioned oats
3 cups water
2 teaspoons honey or agave (omit the honey if you’re making for a baby under 1, or use the agave)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch fine sea salt

Combine the oats, water, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a high speed blender and blend for 30-60 seconds.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the milk into a bowl.
Taste and adjust honey or agave or vanilla as needed. Place in a container that can be fitted with a lid and chill overnight.

Can be used right away in a pinch but the flavors have more time to hang out if you’re chilling overnight
Keeps well for about 5-7 days
