How to Make Your Own Oat Milk at Home

We call this food oat milk for practical purposes, but the reality is that it is not milk but only a vegetable drink derived from oats.
For every 100 ml, it provides little more carbohydrates than cow’s milk or milk of animal origin, but half the protein and almost no fat, making it a very low-calorie option.

In the market, we find many options: those that do not have added sugars or additives the best alternatives, and of course, those with the highest proportion of oats.
Oat milk is also a source of minerals such as potassium and magnesium, and calcium lesser extent, but provides lipid-lowering substances such as beta-glucans that could benefit health as says a study published in Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism.

Although it is becoming easier to find a wide variety of vegetable milks in any supermarket, what is still difficult is finding brands that do not contain sugars or specific ingredients that we may not want in our diet.
If we add to that the fact that making them at home is very easy and is cheaper than buying them ready-made, we no longer have an excuse not to drink the type of milk that suits us best. So, some time ago, we saw how to make coconut milk, more recently, we saw how to make homemade almond milk, and today we will explain how to make oat milk, these three, together with soy and rice the vegetable milks that are more consumed. You can make oat milk at home, and it’s super easy. It’s delicious, super cheap to make, and it’s a boom right now in the vegan food world.

• Oats is one of the noblest grains that exist. It has fibre, antioxidants and gives us all the energy in the world to start the day right.

• If you doubt how oat milk tastes, don’t worry. If you like oatmeal with milk, you will like it.
• The best part is that it is as easy as preparing oatmeal. Really, it’s just two ingredients, water, and oatmeal.
• Do not soak the flakes; this makes the milk slimy.
• It’s best if you use a high-powered blender. And do not fight it for more than 40 seconds. If you blend it a lot, it can also be slimy.
• You can use whole oatmeal or instant oatmeal. Although I always buy regular oatmeal, not instant.
• To strain the milk, use an old T-shirt or kitchen towel or a bag to prepare non-dairy nut milk.
• Here are other oatmeal recipes: granola, oatmeal muffins, oatmeal for the next day with chia, oatmeal pancakes, and apple.
• These oatmeal pancakes in the blender are one of my favorites.
