To Make the Best Oat Milk
Do not overland. Blend well enough and then stop. Overblending can make the oat milk a bit slimy.
Use cold water! Just as with over blending, water that is not ice cold can lead to slimy oat milk as well.
Strain with a nut milk bag. I love these nut milk bags – I have had great luck and often times strain it twice. You can also use a clean tea towel.
Avoiding heating your oat milk. Oat milk can be used in coffee or tea but I would avoid heating it on its own as it can thicken and get clumpy.
What about the Leftover Pulp?
Use the leftover pulp in recipes for muffins, pancakes or even waffles for a nutty flavor. You could even try adding to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
