Easy, homemade, and as flavorful as anything you can buy in a store, our basic oat milk recipe can be prepared in any blender. Even without a fancy high-speed appliance, this recipe is done in five minutes flat!

Homemade oat milk doesn’t have added oils and stabilizers like most of the store-bought brands, yet it remains perfectly creamy and rich. Use it as a stand-in for your favorite coffee drinks and recipes. It’s vegan (assuming you don’t sweeten it with honey), but if you are watching your gluten, make sure the oats are certified gluten-free.

Keys to Homemade Oat Milk

Don’t over-blend. Blend just until the oats are pureed and the milk turns a rich white color. Over-blending (which would take several minutes) can cause the oats to become gluey, making it difficult to strain.
