How to Make Creamy Oat Milk Like Oatly

Oat milk has made it into the main stream just recently partly due to a company called Oatly. They are a Swedish company that started making oat milk in the 90s. Oat milk is incredibly nutritious and is a perfect alternative for milk. Another benefit of oat milk is that it is incredibly easy and affordable to make. This recipe is great to use just like other plant milks but this milk can also be used in your frother for coffee or tea!

My favorite oat milk recipe, It tastes better to me than the Oatly brand. The oil in Oatly’s ingredients is what made me look for a homemade recipe. I love how thick and creamy it is. I use Bob’s Redmill’s Organic GF Rolled oats. When I use cold water and only blend for 25-30 secs it comes out perfect for me, it’s never slimy. I make this recipe every 4-5 days depending on how much I use in my coffee during week. As a creamer I simmer (get it real hot but not boiling) a 1/2 cup or 3/4 cup of the oat milk with a little cayenne, orange zest, cinnamon, turmeric and a date. I blend it on high and it becomes the best oat milk latte ever!

[@byvicthai199]

Hi. I just wanna ask something. I tried the recipe today and I frothed the milk up for my latte. But a few seconds later the oat split and it was not creamy at all. Do you know why that happens?

[@riafabella7043]

I tried this today but no cashew i dont have cashew around, its taste natural and not slimy! ☺️ Is the cashew roasted or raw? Thank you.

[@cxoot]

thanks for the info

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

Ria Fabella hi I’m guessing raw cashews

[@LAKSHMIANGELES]

@@riafabella7043HI, IT SHOULD B RAW. IT'S A GREAT ADDITION AS RAW CASHEWS MAKE A DELICIOUS MILK THEY ADD A MILD EXOTIC SWEETNESS💚. JUST THE CASHEW ALONE TURNS INTO A PERFECT & CREAMY MILK, AND IF YOU SUBSTITUTE HALF OR ALL THE WATER FOR COCONUT WATER EVEN MORE DELICIOULY SWEET. 🙏✌💜☮️💟ॐ

Tip for folks without a super high speed blender... dry blend the oats and nuts to powder before adding water.

[@michinnunapaen]

how long do you pulse it for?

[@CharGC123]

@@michinnunapaen It depends on your blender... just blend until it looks like flour.

@@CharGC123 got it, how long do you blend with water? 30 secs seems too long as mine got slimey

[@CharGC123]

@@michinnunapaen Use ice cold water and I only blend for maybe ten seconds. Oatmilk will always be somewhat thicker/slimier than nutmilk no matter what, but I found instead of trying to squeeze and force it through a nutmilk bag, just keep "massaging" the bag, almost like milking a cow! 🤠

My former mother in law was from Ecuador. She taught me to just blend the cooked oatmeal with more water and some sweetener and it was great in a pinch when I didn’t have milk for my kids. It was wholesome and nutritious. Now looking back. It was better than giving them cow’s milk with all those hormones and antibiotics.

[@sarahfern7128]

In 1985, in Mexico, my 5 year old son was handed a frothy glass & he told me it was the best milk he'd ever had. I did not speak Spanish & quietly freaked out for a while because the house had no fridge! Finally my friend asked the family what kind of milk it was. Just oats blended in water with a smidgen of sugar.

[@TJWhiteStar]

I think why Oatly is getting so popular is that the taste is different due to the Enzymatic process they carry out in enzyming tanks, they add natural enzymes (think it might be Amalayse) that breaks the oat starches down into smaller components, primarily maltose, which ends up sweetening the mixture/milk naturally as well as removing some of that sliminess everyone mentions. (Maltose is also called malt sugar BTW so this is why it sweetens). You can actually buy these Enzymes in vegetarian suitable form so you can pre-soak your oats in an enzyme and water mix before blending (strain and rinse the oats after soaking).

[@veronicarameshyamb9683]

Thanks for the great info! Whats the vegetarian enzymes name by the way? Do you soak your oats?

[@TJWhiteStar]

I've been making my own plant based milks. Current fave is cashew/coconut. Same ratio 2 or 4 cups water to 1/2 or 1 cup nut meats/oats. Couldn't stand throwing away the pulp so I make muffins and plan to try making bird cakes. Basic recipe: using the pulp from a full recipe, add 2 c. Almond flour, 1 1/2 tbs bk powder, 2 tsp xanthan gum, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 1/2 c vilk or juice. Bake at 425F for about 20 mins.
