Have you tried oat milk in your coffee yet? Oat milk is creamy and quite tasty, assuming you enjoy the flavor of oatmeal. If I had to come up with another name for it, I’d call it, “essence of oatmeal.” Never mind, let’s stick with oat milk.
Oat milk captured my attention as an eco-friendly, plant-based milk alternative. Oats can be good for farming land and good for us, too. It’s a win-win situation, so I’m excited to share this oat milk recipe with you.
Oat milk really has a lot going for it. Here are a few reasons to love it:
- Oat milk is special diet-friendly, since it’s dairy free, vegan and gluten-free (if you’re using certified gluten-free oats). It’s nut free as well, unlike my other favorite homemade milk alternatives, cashew milk and pecan milk.
- Homemade oat milk is the cheapest alternative milk around.
- It’s easy to blend, even if you don’t have a fancy blender.
- It yields little-to-no waste, unlike almond milk. The oats almost completely disappear into the milk when blended. Hooray!
