Calories: 53kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups cold water
Optional
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- To a high powered blender, add the rolled oats, cold water and optional sweetener and vanilla. Blend on high for 30 seconds, not longer or your milk may become slimy.
- Gently strain the oat milk through a nut milk bag or thin towel over a large bowl. Don't squeeze too much, a gently squeeze is best. If there is still quite a bit of oat sediment in the bowl, strain it once more.
- Pour into containers and store in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. Separation is natural, so shake before using. It can also be frozen, if needed.
Notes
- Use organic rolled oats if possible, and certified gluten free if needed.
- For storage, I like these larger glass milk jugs, or sometimes I use these little glass containers as well.
- Chocolate milk: Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and more sweetener, to taste. So good!
- Strawberry milk: Add 1 cup of freeze dried strawberries (or 1-2 cups fresh strawberries) and increase the sweetener, to taste.
