Creamy Oat Milk

by Jill Dalton April 28, 2019

Oat milk has made it into the main stream just recently partly due to a company called Oatly. They are a Swedish company that started making oat milk in the 90s. Oat milk is incredibly nutritious and is a perfect alternative for milk. Another benefit of oat milk is that it is incredibly easy and affordable to make. This recipe is great to use just like other plant milks but this milk can also be used in your frother for coffee or tea!

I just made a batch of oat milk; I decided to experiment by adding blueberries. It added a bit of sweetness and helped the flavor.

Hi what oats do you use is it rolled oats or steel cut oats

Jill Dalton November 23, 2019 - 4:46 pm

Rolled oats

Thank you so much! I love your videos….you are such a calm and peaceful presence and your recipes are all fantastic. I benefit greatly from them. 🙂

Thank you Lorraine. That is so sweet =)

Jill, I agree with Lorraine Barnett! I’ve started a WFPB diet since this past August 2018, due to having heart disease and have read Dr. Fuhrman’s book “Eat To Live”. You’ve really inspired me to cook in a healthy and practical way. I really appreciate your calm and sweet demeanor! Thank you for your constant encouragement to others! You are a blessing! 😊

Victoria August 25, 2019 - 7:10 pm

Dear Jill, I’d like to know if you can make this milk with oat grains or of it’s better with the flakes. Thanks!

Reply
Jill Dalton August 25, 2019 - 7:25 pm

You can make it with oat groats but I would soak them overnight first. The rolled oats are way easier =)

Victoria October 28, 2019 - 8:38 pm

Thanks for your answer! I tried with soaked groats and it worked nicely. I used the okara into a bread. Delicious 🙂

thanks i use oat milk all the time. i am going to make my own now. did not know about tghe cashews !!!!

Reply
Joyce April 28, 2019 - 9:28 pm

Hey Jill… I loved the video and the addition of the cashews!!! Makes sense to add them! And thanks for the lesson about not overblending. My last experience of oat milk was a slimey overblended mess. My daughter still loved it tho. But w/ the cashews… oh yeah!!! Question- did u use regular rolled oats or the quick kind, or does it matter? (looked like yours were the regular)

Reply
Jill Dalton April 28, 2019 - 10:07 pm

I always use rolled oats. Less processed is always healthier but I don’t know that it will change the quality of the milk. Both should work. =)

Reply
Laurie and Cleo April 28, 2019 - 9:31 pm

Is there a substitute for cashews? My husband is somewhat allergic. Would almonds work?

Reply
Jill Dalton April 28, 2019 - 10:08 pm

Almonds would work just fine but I would probably soak them a few hours first so they will be nice and creamy =)

Laura April 29, 2019 - 3:57 pm

If I don’t have a high power blender, do any of the instructions change – specifically in regards to soaking the oats or cashews?

2-4 tablespoons of MCT oil makes it amazing! Plus MCT has a ton of health properties!

No, It’s still the same =)

Can I leave out the cashews? I used to drink nonfat milk and cannot find a plant based milk that is fat free.

Reply

Yes

I made the oat milk this morning in a vitamix blender with oats and cashews and a couple dates. I blended it for about 20 seconds. I used a nut bag and squeezed most of the liquid out. It came out slimy. How can I make it without it becoming slimy?

Reply
Jill Dalton June 7, 2019 - 9:21 am

I don’t know of any more tips for oat milk to not be a little slimy. It is just the starch coming out and it is part of what makes it so healthy for your body.

Reply
Kozy November 4, 2019 - 6:51 pm

May I suggest….?

I went out and bought 2 nut bags just for this recipe (1 organic hemp, 1 organic cotton [finer]) … I found the SQUEEZING and forcing of the liquid from the oat mix through the fine cloth barrier is where the starch came from…

SO, I went into my kitchen drawer, found my fine mesh strainer (5.5″) and used that instead, and VOILA! the milk is almost perfect now! Just a little back n forth movement of the mixture as it sits in the bottom of the sieve gets pretty much all liquid out. If one uses only 30 seconds of blending (not too fine), none of the bits come through the sieve…

Try it!

Damiana Gibbons Pyles May 2, 2019 - 1:23 pm

Thanks for this easy recipe for oat milk. The cashews and blending for a short time really worked out so well. Thanks!

Do you cook the milk? I saw “cook time: 10 min” on the recipe site so am confused as I did not see you cooking it, just pouring into the quart jar!!

Reply
Jill Dalton May 12, 2019 - 3:20 pm

No, it is not cooked. Sorry the recipe format is a little confusing

Lissa May 12, 2019 - 7:06 pm

Jill will rolled oats without gluten works in this recipe?

Can you give a tutorial re: blenders? I have a Blendtec but it is so loud! Unfortunately, I didn’t have the container that diffuses the noise of the blender

Reply
Jill Dalton May 12, 2019 - 9:26 pm

Yeah, these high powered blenders are loud. I think the Vitamix may be even louder =(

Reply
Kimberly September 18, 2019 - 6:08 pm

I have a pair of cheap noise canceling ear muffs that I put on every time I use my blendtec.

Michelle Cantu June 20, 2019 - 7:40 pm

This is amazingly wonderful and easy! I’ve made 3 batches already. I added vanilla and 4 medjool dates to mine. Here’s what I did with the left over oats….poured all of the goop:) into a bowl, added 1/4 cup or less flour (used Whole Wheat, bet that any flour would be good) 1/2 TBSP monk fruit, 1/4 cup raisins, dash cinnamon. Stirred it up, dropped it by tablespoon full onto a nonstick cooking mat, baked at 375 for 20 minutes, delicious! I’m baking in a toaster oven so a real oven temp and time might be different.

Reply
Esther Nir July 21, 2019 - 2:09 pm

I just made it exactly as you demonstrated above. It is really good because it doesn’t taste sour like other nut milks always do. The only turn off is the slime. Why does it have to get so slimy toward the bottom of the nut bag? Although you do mention the slime factor, I don’t see it in your video as I have on my own.

Reply
Gloria July 21, 2019 - 10:54 pm

Great recipe, but what type of oats do you use, steel cut or instant?

Reply
Sanny Yen August 27, 2019 - 7:11 pm

can i make it without cashew? I only have walnut at home, will that work? Thanks

Thomas September 5, 2019 - 1:50 am

Hi Jill,

I’m from Germany and I really like your show. It would be so nice if there were metric measurements too, so I don’t have to convert all the cups before doing the recipes.

A lot of thanks for bringing the healthy lifestyle to the world.

Best regards

Thomas
