Homemade Oat Milk Recipe
So, recently, one of the big oat milk providers, Oatly, made the news because a bunch of consumers weren't happy that one of the equity firms that funds the Oatly brand were also funding deforestation in the Amazon. We wanted to find out how easy it was to make your own oat milk at home and as it turns out: Very easy! Also, this recipe is completely vegan.
This is a very basic and bare-bones recipe. No special flavourings added or anything, this is just the very bare recipe for oat milk. It's super easy, though you do need some specialized equipment in the form of nut milk bags in order to strain the oat slurry once you've blended it. There are some other methods as well, some involve rinsing and adding fresh water, some involve soaking, but we've found that this process works just fine. It's also super easy to customize, and if you'd like to add flavours, you can definitely do that. Do you want pumpkin spice oat milk? Easy! Just burr it up with the oats. Easy to add maple, chai spices, even cocoa powder.
