Well, I have a solution for you - make your own oat milk at home! Not only is it super easy to make, but it's also a fraction of the cost of store-bought options. Plus, you can customize it to your taste preferences and know exactly what's going into your milk.


What You'll Need *makes 48 ounces*:


    • 1 cup gluten-free oats (we get these for a great price from Costco- One Degree Organic Farms, *linked here*)

    • 6 cups filtered water

    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (tip: spray measuring spoon with olive/avocado oil to avoid the maple syrup or honey from sticking)

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

Instructions:

  1. In a blender, blend 1 cup of gluten-free oats with 6 cups of filtered water.
  2. Use a nut bag *linked here*to separate the oats from the milk.
  3. Rinse the blender and dump the milk back into the blender.
  4. Add in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan sea salt.
  5. Blend again.
  6. Pour the oat milk into a desired container and store it in the fridge. *linked a glass container option here*

 


Note: The oat milk will keep for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator so you can make a smaller batch if needed by cutting the above in half
