Oat Milk

Oat milk is a creamy, plant-based beverage made from blended oats and water, offering a subtly sweet and naturally vegan alternative to dairy milk. Known for its smooth texture and mild, oaty flavor, oat milk is a popular choice for those with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivities. Its slightly thicker consistency makes it ideal for frothing in lattes, enriching baked goods, and adding a creamy touch to cereals and smoothies. Discover the versatility of oat milk as a healthy and sustainable milk alternative in your favorite recipes.

Common Uses

  • Use oat milk as a direct substitute for dairy milk in your morning cereal or oatmeal for a subtly sweet and creamy start to your day. It blends seamlessly without overpowering other flavors.
  • Create velvety smooth lattes and cappuccinos by frothing oat milk. Its naturally higher fat content compared to other plant-based milks creates a rich and stable foam perfect for latte art.
  • Incorporate oat milk into your baking recipes as a dairy-free alternative. It adds moisture and a subtle sweetness to cakes, muffins, and cookies, enhancing their overall texture.
  • Blend oat milk into smoothies to create a creamy and nutritious base. It pairs well with fruits, vegetables, and protein powders, adding a smooth texture without a strong flavor.
  • Enhance savory dishes by using oat milk in creamy soups and sauces. It provides a lighter alternative to heavy cream while maintaining a rich and smooth consistency.

Unopened oat milk can typically be stored at room temperature until the expiration date printed on the package. Once opened, it must be refrigerated and consumed within 7-10 days. Be sure to seal the container tightly after each use to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Do not freeze oat milk as this can alter the texture and separation may occur upon thawing.
