We use oat milk all the time and although we have a delicious recipe in our FREE 10 Easy Vegan Recipes E-Cookbook, here you have another delicious oat milk recipe, which is so simple and requires only 2 ingredients: water and oats. Besides, it’s creamier because we use more oats, yay!
Homemade plant milks are much cheaper and also healthier than store bought. You can use this milk to make any recipe and you can drink it hot or cold.
There are so many recipes you can make with the pulp, we usually add it to our smoothies to get more fiber, but you can also use it to make cookies, truffles or whatever you want.
By the way, the donuts you can see in the first picture are incredibly healthy and so tasty. We’ll share the recipe really soon. I’m obsessed with them!
Tips:
- Make the milk using just 3 cups of water (750 ml), then try it and add more water until you get the taste and thickness you’re looking for.
- We usually make unsweetened oat milk, that way we can use it to make savory or sweet recipes, but if you like your milk sweet, add any sweetener you want gently until the milk is sweet enough for you (maple syrup, agave syrup, coconut sugar, cane sugar, etc.).
