Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Begin by soaking the rolled oats in hot water for 15-20 minutes to soften them, which will help blend smoothly.
Drain and rinse the soaked oats thoroughly in a fine mesh sieve to remove any excess starch, which can lead to sliminess in the final product.
In a powerful blender, combine the soaked and rinsed oats, 4 cups of water, vanilla extract, maple syrup, shredded coconut, and ground cinnamon.
Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Strain the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or a thin kitchen towel placed over a mixing bowl to separate the oat pulp from the liquid, squeezing to extract as much creamer as possible.
Pour the creamer into a clean glass container with a lid for storage.
Refrigerate the oat milk creamer and use within 5 to 7 days. Before using, give it a good shake as natural separation may occur.
