Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Place 1 cup of rolled oats into a blender.
Add 4 cups of water to the blender. For a creamier texture, consider using 3 cups of water instead.
Include optional ingredients such as 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 30–45 seconds. Do not over-blend, as this can cause the milk to become slimy.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, nut milk bag, or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the oat pulp. Discard the pulp or save it for another use, such as baking or smoothies.
Transfer the strained oat milk into a clean glass jar or bottle with a lid.
Refrigerate the oat milk for at least 30 minutes before serving. Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
