So here's the thing: all you need are oat flakes and water to whip up a light and creamy drink. Pretty simple, right? Plus, it's not just about skipping cow’s milk. It's doing good for you and the planet. With almost zero waste, the leftover oat pulp can totally be used in other recipes.

This oat milk recipe is super versatile—you can sip it with breakfast, pour it over cereal, or use it to make a sweet vegan porridge. And look, a lot of folks add flavors like cinnamon or vanilla, which makes this plant-based milk even more personal and, well, awesome.

People who dig simple, natural food love that the only oat milk ingredients are oats and water—nothing else getting in the way. You can serve it cold or warm, use it in coffee, or even try it in baking. With so many possibilities, it's no wonder this dairy-free trend is catching on. Making your own is a no-brainer for anyone into healthy, tasty drinks. So...

And here's the deal: you’re gonna love it.

How to prepare Homemade oat milk

To prepare oat milk, first, rinse the oats thoroughly under running water 1 multiple times, until the water runs clear. At this point, transfer the oat flakes into a jug 2 and add one liter of water 3.

Stir 4, cover with plastic wrap 5, and let rest for at least 12 hours in a cool, dry place. If you exceed the time by a few hours, it's not an issue. After 12 hours, the flakes will be well hydrated 16.

Blend with an immersion mixer 7 8, then strain the mixture using a sieve, placed over a bowl 9.

The blended oat flakes will remain in the sieve 10 (you can use them, as advised!), while what is in the bowl will be the oat milk 11. Store it in a glass bottle or enjoy it immediately 12.

Storage

You can store oat milk in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Advice

You can use the leftover oat flakes to enrich plumcakes, muffins, cakes, or cookies!

In the warmer season, if a cool, dry place is not available at home, it is preferable to let the mixture rest in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature.
