When I went vegan, my first concern was milk. Well, you have to have your lattes right? So I searched for a nice, cheap and always available substitute.
I found this recipe among may other Ryoya’s recipes I’ve already tried and really liked. His blog is The Peaceful cuisine and you should really check it out! I featured his incredibly delicious Chocolate granola on my blog and whenever I make it, there is never enough!
Besides all those great recipes, I found Ryoya’s kind and gentle message about spreading the vegan word around the world the most compelling to my heart and mind, as it’s to many others. He never judges, he never scolds. He just lives by his kind example and shares his huge knowledge. So little by little, the word is spreading and more people are getting aware of environmental and health issues that are arising from (non) vegan lifestyle. Here it is, so do check it out, if you didn’t already!
This Oat milk recipe is so easy, so simple, so cheap and so everything you want from homemade milk to be. Blending water and oats? Hey, why didn’t I think of that? 😉 And really. It’s all there is to it. You can make it whenever you need it, in smaller or bigger batches, keep it in your fridge and always have it on hand for your latte, tea or for cooking. I use oat milk for baking, for pancakes, in curries when I don’t have coconut milk or oat cream, possibilities are endless.
So here is how to make it.

Homemade milks are just the best! So fresh and clean tasting!
Yup, you’re right, Rebecca! Healthy, easy and always on hand!
I make oat milk all the time. It’s one of my favourites. Funnily enough I re-shot my oat milk recipe a couple weeks ago because it badly needed a face-lift!
Hehe, I also made it on my Croatian blog but didn’t like the photos either 😀 But surely do like the milk, like you! Thank you, Mel! 😀
[…] ask for it in the recipe but surely adds more to it! If you ran out of the soy milk, you can quickly make homemade oat milk, or use any other plant milk you have on […]
Fantastic post.
Really enjoyed reading it and it held my attention all the way through! Keep it up.
