How You’ll Make It
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the oats, water, date, salt, and vanilla (if using) to a high-speed blender. Blend for about 30 seconds. Remember that it doesn’t need to be fully pulverized. Over-blending can make the oat milk slimy.
- Strain the Oat Milk: Place a triple-folded cheesecloth or clean thin t-shirt over a large bowl. Pour the blended mixture through and strain. For clearer milk with less oat residue, strain a second time.
- Store and Chill: Transfer the oat milk to a glass container and refrigerate.
It will keep for up to 5 days (sometimes longer). Shake well before using.
Notes, Tips, Storage, & Swaps
Notes
- Do not heat oat milk, as it thickens and can become gelatinous.
- Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they may come into contact with gluten-containing grains (wheat, rye, barley) during farming, storage, or transportation. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
