Why you will love oat milk as much as me
Oat milk, compared to almond, cashew, and soy milk, is much easier to make, cheaper, and packed with many more nutrients and fats. Oat milk is especially rich in fiber and calcium.
I mean… Who doesn’t know how great you feel after eating
I pour it into my coffee to make the best latte, my tea, smoothies, and granola, and I even cook it. It is creamy and delicious, with a much better texture than other alternatives.
tips, tricks & Other recipes
- It doesn’t matter if you use rolled oats or instant oats. Your milk will be delicious, but I personally prefer rolled oats.
- If you don’t have a nut milk bag, strain the oat milk using an old kitchen towel or an old T-shirt. You can also use cheesecloth.
- It is best to make your oat milk in a high-speed blender like the Vitamix, but any other blender will work.
- Do not blend for more than 40 seconds; this can make it slimy.
- I love these other oat-based recipes: blender oat pancakes, vegan oat bars, and oats in granola.
