Recipe Highlights

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

  • Oat milk is naturally nut-free and possibly less allergenic for some people than almond milk or other plant-based milks made from nuts.
  • It’s also soy-free so doesn’t have the potential issues that come from soy milk.
  • Oats have unique nutritional properties and are high in fiber, B vitamins, and minerals.
  • Oat milk has a neutral flavor; 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 and as your new favorite coffee creamer.

Recipe Steps

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, it’s best to just pour the blended oats and water through a sieve instead of squeezing through a bag.

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

The steps to making this oat milk recipe include:

Step One

Combine the oats, water, and dates in a high-speed blender (like a Blendtec) and process for 15 seconds.

As always, please do see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Two

Pour the milk through a strainer and use a spatula to gently push it through.

Step Three

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.

FAQs

Can I use steel cut oats for this recipe?

No, steel cut oats won’t work for oat milk as they are too dense to be blended up properly.
