HOW TO MAKE OAT MILK | not slimy + secret trick

Learn how to make oat milk that's not slimy! I'll share 3 tips plus a secret trick. Oat milk is a creamy, vegan, plant-based, dairy-free milk. All you need are oats, water, and a blender - it's easy!

One thing to keep in mind when making oat milk is that store-bought options are heavily processed with additives. That's how brands like Oatly can achieve a certain consistency and even become frothy. And while homemade options don't froth up the same way, you'll know exactly what's going into it and you can make it fresh on demand. Enjoy!

Freeze your oats prior to blending (about 1hr) to cut down on any slime in addition to using cold water.

Hi there! Food scientist here! The sliminess actually comes from a soluble fiber found in oats called beta-glucan. It's one of the things that makes oats so healthy. Beta-glucan can polymerize like crazy so the more you break down the oats, the more b-glucan is released from the matrix of the cells and the more slimy it can get. Heat can also help release the b-glucan and the friction in blenders can create heat that makes it more slimy. So your tip for cold water is spot on! Now, about the enzymes you added, I think the soaking step could've also played a role in reducing the sliminess, not just the enzymes because you can wash part of the b-glucan out. Just some nerdy stuff haha! :)

This actually worked! I couldn't find the enzyme so I just blended my oatmeal with water and ice cubes and it didn't become slimy. Game changer!

I freezed the oat for 1 hour & used very cold water ... blend .. use just a metal strainer ... blend again with vanilla creamer & caramel good .. I just made it👼 I never thought that my kids will love oat milk ... they did!!!!

We go through three packages of oat milk a week and I'm tired of so much wasteful packaging. So exciting to start my journey of reducing waste by producing my own oat milk. With zero waste oats coming in a glass jar and a reusable nut milk bag, this is wonderful!

I read to add vanilla and sweetener after blending and straining so that the flavor does not get strained out in the oat pulp. The flavor can be added to the final product and just whisked in by hand.

This is THE best video on how to make home made oat milk! I have watched dozens, and this is it. You explain everything and show all the steps. Wonderful. I’m making this tomorrow! Thanks so much for all your work!

A lot of recipe videos tend to run long and overcomplicate things but this was easy to understand and clear, so I appreciate that!

Hi. Great advice! I blitzed my oats first to nearly flour. Then added the oats to the fridged water and processed for 10 seconds. Perfect! Will save heaps of money in the long run as I go through so much oat milk. Tastes delicious! ☺️

[WondaElizabeth]

Thanks for the video and the new ideas. I slow toast whole oats, let them dry overnight and my oat milk is never slimy and has a more nutty flavor. I will definitely try your way though. THANKS!

This women listed every she saw in this video including: her ingredients, jars, spoons etc to her clothes and the pn to her knife set. Like wow.

My son just bought me a Vitamix, it is my first one ever. It is a A3300, I am celiac, and can't have dairy and soy. I am excited to see if I can make safe version's of some of the foods I gave up. Just am so excited just wanted to share.💗

FYI: That enzyme you are using from the capsules can be found at brewing supply stores. It's directly used for breaking down starches for making beer and spirits from grains. In fact if you are interested in going that route, research beer brewing to get some tips. It probably wouldn't hurt to cook the oats a bit before adding the enzyme in this process.

Whipped up two batches in 10 minutes for the week ahead! Thanks Lisa, we’ve been waiting for you to drop this recipe since the day you first mentioned it on tour IG stories 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I was just thinking TODAY that I wanted to make my own oat milk. Then this was the first video in my subscription box 🙌🏼

This is the second time I have heard about this slim as an issue, and the first video dedicated solely to it. Personally I'm not bothered by it. As a child we would drink a "juice" of steeped oats with just water, oats, and sugar! It was great!

[adahannamusic]

I’m choosing the first method; way easier than messing with those enzymes! That’s a rabbit hole… plus the added cost!

[imagina]

I tried a mix of both recipes: first I soaked and rinsed with cold water the oats, and then I blended them with ice cold water. It turned out really good and not slimy!
Thank you so much for the recipes and the explanations!

[PhinaLuv]

I just made this today for the first time and it's wonderful!! I used the 2nd method with the enzyme and I am so pleased!
