About Oat milk creamer

Oat milk creamer is a plant-based dairy alternative derived from oats and commonly used as a creamy addition to coffee, tea, and recipes. Originating from the popularity of oat milk in Sweden in the 1990s, it has gained global popularity due to its sustainability and allergen-friendly profile. Nutritionally, oat milk creamer typically contains fewer calories and less fat than heavy cream, with added vitamins like B12 and D in fortified varieties. It also provides carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and small amounts of protein. The texture is achieved by blending oats with water and emulsifying agents, making it smooth and versatile in various cuisines.

• Typically fortified with calcium and vitamin D, contributing to bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
• Contains B vitamins, particularly vitamin B12 (in fortified versions), which support energy metabolism and red blood cell production.
