Rinse the rolled oats thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch.
In a blender, combine the rinsed oats and 2 cups of water. Blend at high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Using a fine-mesh strainer or a nut milk bag, strain the blended oat mixture over a large bowl, squeezing out as much liquid as possible to create your oat milk.
Pour the strained oat milk back into the cleaned blender. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
Blend the mixture again for about 15 seconds to ensure all the ingredients are combined well.
Taste the creamer and adjust sweetness or flavoring as desired, adding more maple syrup or vanilla extract to suit your preference.
Transfer the oat milk creamer to an airtight container or bottle. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
