This truly is the best Easy Homemade Oat Milk Recipe. Simply blend rolled oats with water, filter and you have Oat Milk! Gluten free, vegan and delicious

I’ve used plant based milks my entire life. But a few years ago, I had some tests done and learned I’m technically allergic to dairy, soy, AND almonds. Naturally, my first concern was, “but what am I going to put in my coffee?!”.

Enter oatmilk.

Oat milk is:

Easy to make
Cheap
Gluten free (if you use gluten free oats)
Vegan
Easy to store
Quick
Creamy
Delicious
High in protein
Perfect for lattes

WHAT’S IN OAT MILK?

Oat milk is made from oats, that’s all. The texture is surprisingly similar to dairy milk with a delicious, nutty flavor.

You can add additional flavorings and sweeteners in if you like. Some examples are:

cinnamon
vanilla
dates
maple syrup
pumpkin pie spice (pumpkin latte, anyone?)
chai spices

WHY IS OAT MILK A GOOD VEGAN MILK ALTERNATIVE?

If you have an allergy to nuts or almonds, can’t do dairy or soy, or are on a vegan diet, homemade oat milk is a great alternative.

While plant milks seems to have become somewhat popular recently, it’s actually been around for a while. As people have become more aware of food allergies, oat milk seems to have become a preferred plant based preference.
