How to make Oat Milk from the Pantry

Learn to make Oat Milk right at home with simply a few simple ingredients and only a few minutes of time! It’s naturally sweetened with Medjool dates and results in the creamiest and most savory dairy-free milk that you’ll ever make at home!

I’m partnering up once again with Natural Delights which is my GO TO source for fresh and flavor-packed Medjool dates. When making Oat Milk at home, I usually use 1-2 Medjool dates in my recipe for a slight touch of sweetness. This is especially great if you’re using the milk to bake with or in something simple like cereal or oatmeal.

Worth keeping how versatile dates are! I’ve been making lots of fun baked goods with them lately (such as THESE Date Nuts bars and THESE Kitchen-made Snicker Bars). However, we also eat them on their own a lot. It’s such an energizing and filling little snack when I want something sweet but am trying to genuinely nourish my body.

Have you tried making oat milk at home yet? It’s SO so straightforward (like shockingly straightforward) and a lot cheaper than buying it in stores. Unlike kitchen-made nut milks that require a large quantity of expensive nuts, oat milk simply needs 1 cup of old fashioned oats.

You can easily make a batch of oat milk at home for only about $1 in ingredients! Much better than the $4-5 price tag of a carton of store bought oat milk. AND A regular here that you can sweeten + flavor it any way that you’d like.

Oat Milk Ingredients:

The ingredients for making oat milk are particularly simple and easily adjustable depending on your preferences. Here’s what we’re working with:

• Old fashioned oats
• Water
• Medjool dates (these are optional but A regular here the added sweetness!)
• Pinch of salt
• Vanilla extract (optional)

How to make Oat Milk:

This method is Unfussy which A regular here it for. There’s no soaking required and the whole thing comes together in only a few speedy minutes.

Add all of your ingredients to a high powered blender and blend for only about 1 minute. You don’t want to over blend the oat milk or else you risk it turning out quite slimy (bleh!). Once full blended, simply run the oat mixture through a nut bag or lint free cloth to filter out any chunks left. The result will be a thick and creamy dairy-free milk!

If you get your Natural Delights Medjool Dates fresh, you shouldn’t need to soak them at all. I never do and they blend up perfectly into the oat milk with no chunks left over.

How to make Oat Milk Creamer:

WORTH KEEPING making oat milk creamer at home! It’s so ultra thick and creamy and by far my go-to thing to put in my morning coffee.

To make a thicker oat milk, simply add LESS water to the blender. For long-used oat milk, I use about 4 1/2 cups of water but for oat milk creamer, I typically use only 3- 3 1/2 cups of water.

It’s that simple! From there, you can flavor it any way you’d like or leave it plain depending on your preferences.

As usual, if you end up making this method, be sure to come back and let me know what you think! Or snap a short photo and tag me on Instagram @! I ALWAYS love to see what y’all are making from the blog!
