How To Make Oat Milk

If you run out of milk late at night and don’t have a cow in the backyard to get more, you can easily whip up this oat milk in a matter of a few minutes!

Last night my daughter said she wanted oat bowls for breakfast, but we were out of oat milk. YIKES! It was already 9:30pm and I couldn’t get more. No worries because I have the most delicious oat milk recipe! As long as you have oats and water you can make it, but we like to add a few extra ingredients to make it even better!

Start With 2-Ingredients

In a high speed blender, simply add oats and water and blend. Yep, you can’t get much easier than that! The hardest part is putting the oat milk through a milk bag, or fine mesh strainer. These are the milk bags that I have, shown below.

Final Steps

Tie up the milk bag to a cabinet door and let the oat milk drop into a large bowl for about 10-30 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.

There is no cooking. You are done! Pour into a beverage container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s absolutely delicious! I typically use a 64oz Ball glass jar.

I use oat milk in oat bowls and my hot tea. Every morning I make myself a cup of cinnamon tea and I add a splash of oat milk. It’s delicious!!!!

Buying organic oats is important to me. I buy a 25-pound bag of oats each month. If you are interested in seeing how I bulk buy certain foods, check out this article below.
