Follow The Directions

01

Step

Begin by awakening the oats: In a bowl, submerge the quick-cooking oats in cool water, ensuring they are fully covered. Let them steep undisturbed for 30 minutes, allowing their inherent goodness to bloom. (30 minutes)

02

Step

Drain the steeped oats using a fine-mesh sieve or colander, discarding the soaking water. In a large bowl, unite the drained oats with 3 cups of fresh, filtered water and the pitted Medjool dates. Allow this mixture to repose for 10 to 15 minutes, coaxing the dates to soften and release their natural sweetness. (10-15 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the oat mixture to a high-powered blender. Initiate the blending process with a series of short pulses, gradually increasing the speed to medium-high. Continue blending until the mixture achieves a luxuriously smooth consistency, approximately 1 minute. (1 minute)

04

Step

Strain the freshly blended oat milk through a nut milk bag or several layers of cheesecloth, meticulously separating the liquid from any remaining solids. Gently squeeze the bag or cheesecloth to extract every last drop of creamy goodness.

05

Step

Serve chilled or gently warmed, allowing the nuanced flavors of oats and dates to enchant your palate.

For a thicker, creamier milk, use less water. Conversely, for a thinner consistency, add more water.
Experiment with flavor infusions: a pinch of sea salt, a dash of vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate your oat milk to new heights.
Oat milk tends to separate upon standing. A simple shake before serving will restore its creamy texture.
Store your homemade oat milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, ensuring its freshness and flavor.

    The texture was perfect, and the taste was amazing. I added a little vanilla, as suggested, and it was delicious in my coffee.

  • Amya Haleydaugherty

    So easy to make and tastes great! I now make this every week!

  • Micheal Mccullough

    I was surprised how easy this was to make! So much better than the store-bought stuff.

  • Nellie Durgan

    I didn't have dates, so I used maple syrup. It was still good, but I think the dates would have given it a richer flavor.

  • Buster Haley

    My first attempt was a bit slimy. I think I over-blended it. The second batch was much better when I reduced the blending time.

  • Harley Medhurst

    This is a great alternative to dairy milk. My kids love it, and I feel good about giving them something healthy.
