Soak one cup of oats in water overnight. Pour enough water to cover the oats.
The oats will swell up to at least 1 1/2 cups. After soaking, drain and rinse the oats.
Place them in a blender with 3 cups of water and blend for a minute or so. I used my vitamix so it was very quick. For less powerful models, you may need to blend for a couple of minutes.
Pour the milk into a nut bag and collect the yummy healthy milk.
You will get about 4 cups of oat milk. Keep this in the fridge and use it within a week, on your morning cereal and in cooking. It is versatile as the oats don't give a strong overpowering flavor.
Here is a photo of this morning's breakfast - my puffed brown rice cereal, with raspberries, bananas and home made gluten free oat milk.
If you prefer a thicker, creamier consistency, just reduce the amount of water your add to the blender.
I'll be back with other non dairy milk recipes soon. Hope you give it a try.
