This easy oat milk recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, and perfect to use for a dairy-free and plant-based coffee creamer.

Why Oat Milk?

With so many plant-based milk options, why would you want to consider oat milk?

• Oat milk is nut-free and possibly less allergenic for some people than almond milk or other plant-based milks made from nuts
• Oat milk doesn’t have the potential issues that come from soy milk
• Oat milk has unique nutritional properties. Oats themselves are high in fiber, B vitamins, and minerals
• Oat milk has a neutral flavor and so it’s non-offensive and blends in with whatever recipe you’re using it in

In short, oat milk is perfect for a no dairy diet!

How to Make Homemade Oat Milk

Making oat milk is similar to the process of making almond milk, although you won’t need a nut milk bag. Since oat milk has the tendency to get slimy, I just poured the milk through a sieve instead of squeezing through a bag. I have a video below to show you how.

Also, to make sure this recipe is gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.

The steps to making this oat milk recipe include:

1. Combine the oats, water, and dates in a high-speed blender (like a Blendtec)
2. Process for 15 seconds
3. Pour the milk through a strainer and use a spatula to gently push it through.
4. Transfer the oat milk to a container with a lid. Use immediately or save any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days

Since my recipe includes two Medjool dates, the oat milk is slightly sweet and perfect for using in a latte or your favorite hot beverage.
