Homemade oat milk is a delightful dairy alternative that’s both creamy and gentle on the palate. This diabetic-friendly recipe utilises old-fashioned rolled oats, creating a smooth beverage that retains all the wholesome goodness of oats. With a pinch of salt to enhance the flavour, this plant-based milk can be enjoyed on its own or as a versatile ingredient in your favourite recipes.
Perfect for those looking for a healthy option, this easy-to-make oat milk can be sweetened with a touch of raw honey or pure maple syrup, though it's equally delicious unsweetened.

How to make Oat milk
In a medium bowl, combine the oats with 1 litre of cold water and stir to mix well. Allow to soak at room temperature for up to 1 hour.
Drain the oats, discarding the soaking water, and rinse them thoroughly.
Transfer the rinsed oats to a blender, add 1 litre of fresh water, and include the salt and/or sweetener, if desired.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth, which should take about 2 minutes.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container.
Chill the strained liquid in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 5 days.
Shake well before using.
